Practical AI and modern websites for Canadian businesses.

We find where AI pays off and build it, train your team to use it well, and make websites you own. A person stays in charge of what the AI does, and your data can stay in Canada where it matters.

Fixed prices, published bands · Code and content you own · Toronto-based, remote-first

An illustrative system, the same shape we ship: it reads each incoming file, sorts it, scores how sure it is, and passes anything uncertain to a person. The code lives in your repo.

Three services. Start wherever the work is.

  • AI Consulting

    Find where AI pays off, then build it.

    A two-week roadmap finds the work worth automating. Then we build it in small, fixed-price pieces: one workflow at a time, or one assistant, with a person approving what the AI sends and the result yours to own. The roadmap also notes any funding programs worth checking.

  • AI Literacy & Enablement

    Get your team using AI well, and safely.

    Hands-on workshops built on your team’s real work, with a 30-day follow-up check-in included. Then monthly office hours or a six-week enablement program if you want it to stick.

  • Web Development

    Fast, accessible websites you own, ready for AI when you are.

    Real design, real copy and real code, in your repo and on your domain. Built to target WCAG 2.1 AA, and ready to take an assistant or search later without a rebuild.

How we work.

We build better ways of working, then hand them to the people doing the work.

  • Fixed price, agreed before we start

    Scope, price and calendar are agreed in writing before kickoff. Projects are billed half at signing, half at handoff. No hourly billing.

  • You own the code and the plan

    Code in your repo, prompts in your documents, tests you can rerun. Every build ends with one of your people running the system live.

  • A person stays in charge of the AI

    The systems we build read and draft. A person signs off on every action, and on any reply that isn’t a plain answer from content you’ve approved. Every action is logged, there’s an off switch, and they can run on Canadian servers where your data calls for it.

  • We’ll say when AI isn’t the answer

    If a spreadsheet or a better process would do, we’ll tell you. We also say no to ten-week discovery phases that end in a PDF, and to anything we’d have to subcontract.

A typical AI build runs in six phases, from watching the work happen to handing it over. How a project runs

We don’t name clients, but we do show the work: a full sample AI Roadmap for a fictional company, and the patterns we build

Three quiet failure modes. We name them on purpose.

  • Everyone has a licence. Almost no one is fluent.

    A Copilot or ChatGPT seat on every desk, and a small bump in productivity to show for it. The fix is rarely a better tool. It’s teaching the team to use the one they have, on the work they actually do.

  • A graveyard of demos. Nothing in the workflow.

    A proof of concept that looked great on a sales call and never left one Slack channel. Nobody scoped the work that makes it last: testing, monitoring, and getting people to use it.

  • A workflow that breaks when one person leaves.

    An automation in someone’s private workspace, a prompt in a doc only one person can find, a vendor-built agent no one inside the company can change. We won’t leave one behind.

Tell us the thing that’s taking too long.

A free 30-minute call about an AI project, a team workshop or a website. We read your brief before we meet. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so and point you to someone better. If we are, you’ll have a scope and a price by the next morning.

We reply within one business day. No sales spam. Cancel any time and pay only for work delivered.
