AI opportunity review
I go through your recurring work and rank the tasks an AI can take over by the hours and dollars they cost you each month.
§ 00 / services / ai consulting
AI consulting. Put AI to work where it pays.
An AI consultant for small and mid-sized businesses in Quebec. I find the tasks where AI saves real hours, tell you plainly where it will not, and build what is worth building: assistants that answer from your own documents, agents that act inside your systems within limits you set, and local AI when your data must not leave the office.

§ 01 / the advice
Start with the task, not the tool.
Most AI projects fail because they start from a product demo. Mine start from your week: what gets typed twice, read twice, answered twice.
The right model, the right place
Cloud model, local model or no AI at all. You get the reasons, the monthly cost and what happens to your data in each case.
Risk and Law 25
Who can see the data, where it is stored, what the AI is allowed to do, and what must be approved by a person first.
§ 02 / what I build
AI that does a job, on rails.
The same person who advises builds it, hosts it and maintains it.
Chatbots on your own content
A chatbot that answers only from your documents, shows its source, and says so when the answer is not there.
Agents connected to your tools
An assistant reads and acts on your CRM, ERP or accounting through an MCP server: only what you allow, every action logged.
Email and document triage
Incoming mail, forms and documents sorted and routed, replies drafted for you to approve.
Search that understands
RAG and embeddings over manuals, contracts and price lists, so staff ask in plain language and get the right page.
Local AI
Models running on a machine in your office or on a server in Quebec. Fixed cost, no per-question bill, nothing sent abroad.
Approvals and audit trail
The AI proposes, a person approves. Every action is recorded and can be undone.
§ 03 / how it works
From first call to running system.
- 1 · first look
- a free 30-minute call about where your time goes
- 2 · review
- the tasks worth automating, ranked, with what each fix is worth per month
- 3 · pilot
- one task, built and measured on your real data, scope and price in writing first
- 4 · run
- hosted, monitored and improved by the person who built it
§ 04 / related
Where AI meets the rest of the work.
AI is one of the tools, not the starting point. The starting point is business analysis: finding where the money goes. When the fix needs more than a model, it becomes custom software.
Two products came out of this work: Smarties, an AI agent orchestrator for SMEs that asks before it acts, and APIchatbot, a chatbot platform for your own content. The articles give the numbers from real builds.
