G'day.

Trust is a big call. Here's who you'd be trusting.

I'm Bart Puszko, founder of Blue Seas AI. When you work with Blue Seas AI, you work with me.

"I believe that as an SME owner, you should have access to the same technology as a corporation with unlimited resources. That's what we do: we level the playing field, so you can take a week off with your family and not have your business break while you're away."Bart Puszko, founder

Before this, I spent 16 years in financial crime, risk and continuous improvement for major banks across Australia and Europe. When Commonwealth Bank was hit with a $700 million AUSTRAC penalty for anti-money laundering breaches, I was brought in to help build the quality assurance team that fixed it. I took that operation from 20 people to over 100 and built five teams across the Asia-Pacific.

That's where I learned what I do now: take broken processes, build systems around them, and make them run without anyone watching.

The difference is I now do it for firms of 10 to 80 people instead of 50,000. Those firms don't have a hundred-person team behind them, so I bring the systems.

The AI side is hands-on, and has been since the week ChatGPT launched in November 2022. I've built with it daily since: chatbots, email systems that file straight into Smokeball, and systems that draft documents. Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and n8n, whichever tool the job needs, running live in client businesses.

Blue Seas runs on AI systems we built in-house: our sales tracking, our project boards, our weekly operations. Each system we recommend has already done its shift inside our own business.

The same thinking that helped banks manage billion-dollar risks now helps a 20-person law firm, Catton & Tondelstrand, recover $1.3M a year in productivity. Read how the firm did it.

We call the method Handover AI. Every job starts with a map of how your business runs, a score for each task on how ready it is for AI and what it costs you now, and a 12-month plan. All before we build a single system.

Some clients want us to build their AI systems. Others want to learn alongside us. Either way, when a firm director sees what their team can do once the admin is gone, that's what makes this worth it.

I look forward to working with you.

Who is Bart Puszko?

Bart Puszko is the founder of Blue Seas AI, a Sunshine Coast consultancy that builds and manages AI systems for professional services firms. Before AI, he spent 16 years in financial crime, risk and continuous improvement for major banks across Australia and Europe. He has built with AI daily since ChatGPT launched in November 2022, and Blue Seas runs its own operations on AI systems built in-house.

Who is on the Blue Seas AI team?

Bart Puszko, founder and principal, is on your calls and on the tools. Agnes Pilawska, Client Operations Coordinator, keeps your project moving between calls. Pawel Boguta, Lead AI Developer, builds and runs your systems, backed by a wider group of specialist developers.

What is Bart's background before Blue Seas AI?

16 years in financial crime, risk and continuous improvement, building the systems that helped big banks manage billion-dollar risk. That background is why every job we take on starts with the numbers: if the return is not there, we say so and we do not build it.

What makes Blue Seas AI different from other AI consultants?

Blue Seas maps the work, builds the AI systems and runs them for you. Before anything is built, every task gets three questions: is it safe to hand to AI, can AI do it well today, and what is it worth. The Catton & Tondelstrand case study shows what that looks like in practice.

Is Blue Seas AI recognised or accredited?

Yes. Blue Seas won the 2025 Sunshine Coast Business Award for Advanced Technology and is a Top 10 finalist, Australian AI Awards 2025 & 2026. Bart has been a Queensland Government AI Mentor since 2024, sits on the board of the Sunshine Coast Tech Industry Alliance and is certified in AI Security and Governance.

Where is Blue Seas AI based?

Blue Seas AI is based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, with a Brisbane office at Level 34, Waterfront Place, 1 Eagle Street, Brisbane QLD 4000. Meetings at both are by appointment. We work with businesses across South East Queensland and Australia-wide, including law firms, accountants, valuers and brokers.
