AI Development Company in Montreal

We work with Montreal clients through one named lead who is your point of contact from kickoff to handover, backed by the same engineering team on every project.

Current models handle French and English well enough for most business tasks, and we measure that on your own examples before committing rather than assuming it. On data handling: Quebec's Law 25 is the strictest privacy regime in Canada, with privacy impact assessments, a named privacy officer and rules on automated decisions. The Charter of the French Language governs product and website language. Where sensitivity demands it we deploy into your cloud account in Canada (Quebec) or use self-hosted open-weight models.

A prototype scored against your own examples usually lands in two to four weeks — deliberately early, so you know whether the approach works before significant money is spent. Hardening it for production, with guardrails, monitoring and cost controls, typically takes another six to ten weeks.

Most often Media & Entertainment, SaaS, Manufacturing and Fintech, because that is where Montreal's economy is concentrated. We are not limited to those sectors — the engineering transfers — but that is where we can bring the most relevant experience to a first conversation.

Most Montreal projects touch Stripe and Moneris; Interac and Desjardins; Shopify and Lightspeed; and Salesforce. We integrate with what your customers and staff already use, and we check API access and commercial terms for each before committing to a timeline.

Scope drives the cost far more than the AI does. A focused system on a well-defined problem typically runs a few weeks of engineering; a platform with retrieval, evaluation and multi-model orchestration is a longer engagement. We quote after a scoping call, and we tell you if the problem does not warrant AI at all.

We use existing frontier and open-weight models for the overwhelming majority of work, because training from scratch is rarely justifiable. The value we add is the retrieval, orchestration, evaluation and guardrails around the model, which is where projects usually fail.

Three things in combination: grounding answers in retrieved source content, constraining outputs to structures we validate, and an evaluation suite that catches regressions before release. We also design the interface so the system can say it does not know.

Yes, and it is usually the point. We handle ingestion, cleaning, chunking and embedding of your documents, databases and APIs so the system reasons over your material rather than generic training data.

We work under NDA by default, can deploy into your own cloud account, and can use models with no-training data commitments or self-hosted open-weight models where the sensitivity requires it.

A prototype scored against a real evaluation set typically lands within two to three weeks. That is deliberately early, because it tells us whether the approach is viable before significant money is committed.
