Why Canadian SMEs pick ChatGPT.ca over the Big Four
Most AI consulting firms in Canada are built to sell six-figure slide decks to Fortune 500s. We are built to ship working systems for 10 to 500 person Canadian businesses.
Fixed-price projects
Every engagement has a clear scope and a fixed quote. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
Ship in weeks, not quarters
Typical project runs 2-4 weeks from kickoff to production. Enterprise rollouts phased over 8-12 weeks.
PIPEDA and AIDA-ready
Canadian data residency, privacy impact assessments, and compliance-first architecture on every project.
Practitioners, not presenters
We deliver working systems. You get engineers who ship, not slideware from a partner you never meet again.
Canada-wide, on the ground
Toronto HQ with engagements in Ottawa, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Winnipeg, and beyond.

AI consulting FAQ
Questions we hear most often from Canadian decision-makers.
We are practitioner-led, fixed-price, and focused on Canadian SMEs (10 to 500 employees). Unlike the Big Four, you work directly with senior engineers, not rotating juniors. Unlike offshore dev shops, we handle PIPEDA, Quebec Law 25, and AIDA-readiness natively. Our typical project ships in 2 to 4 weeks at $5,000 to $15,000.
Fixed-price engagements run from $2,500 (focused automation) to $35,000 (full SaaS replacement). Most SME projects land in the $5,000 to $15,000 range. Enterprise rollouts with multi-department scope are custom-quoted. See the detailed rate card at /pricing.
Our sweet spot is 10 to 500 person Canadian businesses. We have packages starting at $2,500 that are specifically sized for small teams automating one or two workflows. Enterprise clients are welcome, but we do not require enterprise budgets to engage.
Law firms, accounting, real estate, healthcare, e-commerce, financial services, nonprofits, manufacturing, construction, insurance, hospitality, and government. We have industry-specific playbooks at /industries.
Every engagement starts with a data-flow review. We default to Canadian-region cloud deployments (AWS Canada, Azure Canada Central, or self-hosted), document privacy impact assessments, and avoid US-only AI providers when data sensitivity requires it. AIDA-readiness reviews are included in enterprise engagements.
Our clients typically see 40 to 67% cost reductions on the automated workflows and save 15+ hours per team member per week. Most projects pay for themselves within 2 to 4 months. We build the ROI projection into the proposal so you can see the numbers before you commit.
Automation Starter runs 1 to 2 weeks. AI Agents run 2 to 4 weeks. SaaS Replacement runs 3 to 6 weeks. Enterprise engagements run 4 to 12 weeks depending on scope and integration count. We commit to a shipping date in the proposal.
Yes. Every project includes at least 30 days of post-launch optimization. Larger engagements include 60 or 90 days. We also offer monthly retainers from $2,000 for teams that want ongoing advisory and iteration.
If the delivered solution does not meet the agreed-upon performance metrics within 90 days, we keep optimizing at no additional cost until it does. The success metrics are written into the proposal, so there is no ambiguity about what winning looks like.
We are headquartered in the Greater Toronto Area with active engagements in Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Halifax, and smaller Canadian cities. Most discovery and delivery work is remote, with on-site sessions available for enterprise engagements.
