AI-Native Development · Toronto

AI-native development in Toronto. Software designed around agents, not bolted onto them.

We build products where AI is the architecture, not a feature flag. Agentic workflows, retrieval, evals and cost controls, shipped to production for Toronto teams. Not a demo. A system your engineers own.

Trusted by teams across Australia, North America and beyond

Why Toronto teams call us.

AI-native work in Toronto is fintech grade. Document and research agents for finance, personalisation for media, retrieval over regulated data, all judged against a real security and risk bar.

Toronto is Canada's financial and AI capital. Bay Street banks and the Vector Institute make it the densest commercial AI market in the country.

"We bolted a chatbot onto our product. It works in the demo and falls over with real users."
"Everyone says add AI. Nobody can tell us what to build, what it costs to run, or how we would know it works."
"Our prototype has no evals, no guardrails and no observability. We cannot ship it and sleep."
"Our token bill keeps climbing and we cannot tell which features or models drive it."
"We need an agent that does real work across our systems, not a wrapper around one prompt."

What we do

What an AI-native build actually includes.

Every engagement starts with a 30-minute call. If we cannot tell you something useful in that window, we do not take the work on.

01

AI-native architecture

We design the product around the model: where AI sits, where plain code sits, and where a human stays in the loop.

02

Agentic workflows

Agents that take real action across your systems, with safeguards that stop anything expensive or irreversible.

03

Retrieval that grounds answers

Chunking, hybrid search and re-ranking, plus the evals that prove answers come from your data.

04

Evals and observability

Tracing and quality monitoring, so regressions are caught before your customers find them.

05

Model routing and cost control

The large model where it earns its keep, smaller ones where it does not, and budgets wired in from day one.

06

AI UX that builds trust

Streaming, citations and graceful failure, so people trust the feature instead of abandoning it.

Outcomes

What good looks like.

We measure ourselves on what your team does differently afterwards, not on hours billed.

2 weeks

From idea to an evaluated, working prototype your team can test with real data.

Evals

Every AI feature ships with evals and tracing, so quality is a number you watch.

30 to 60%

Typical inference cost reduction once model routing and caching are in place.

In-repo

Code lands in your repository with your engineers, not in a vendor sandbox.

How we engage

Three ways to start. All begin with a call.

Prices in CAD
Start

AI-Native Sprint

Two weeks to a working, evaluated prototype of your highest-value AI feature, with the architecture documented. Fixed scope, fixed fee.

Embedded AI team

A squad that builds alongside your engineers and leaves them able to run it. Two to four days a week, quarterly outcomes.

Compliance and data

Built for Canadian rules from day one.

We design for PIPEDA, Quebec's Law 25 and Bill 96 where they apply, and ITSG-33 for public sector work.

We are headquartered in Sydney and work with Toronto teams remote-first, in your timezone, with on-site visits for kickoff and key milestones when needed.

Questions

What Toronto teams ask.

Straight answers to what Toronto teams ask before they book.

Are you based in Toronto?

We are headquartered in Sydney and work with Toronto teams remote-first, in your timezone, with on-site visits for kickoff and key milestones when needed. We work with teams across Financial District, MaRS Discovery District, King West and Liberty Village.

How fast can you start?

A two-week AI-Native Sprint can start the Monday after the scoping call. Larger engagements usually begin one to two weeks out.

Do you work in CAD and to Canadian rules?

Yes. We contract and price in CAD. We design for PIPEDA, Quebec's Law 25 and Bill 96 where they apply, and ITSG-33 for public sector work.

Which models do you build on?

We are model-agnostic: Claude, GPT, Llama and open-weight models, routed on cost and capability. We do not resell one vendor's stack.

Do you hand it over, or keep us dependent?

We hand it over. Code lives in your repo, the architecture is documented, and your team can run and extend it without us.

Can you build AI that clears a Bay Street vendor review?

Yes. PIPEDA-aligned controls, evals, guardrails and access logs, with Canadian data residency, documented for your risk team.

Can our data stay in Canada?

Yes. We deploy to Canadian cloud regions and document exactly where data, prompts and logs flow.

Do you actually build, or just advise?

Both, and we never advise without being willing to build. If the answer is Apache Superset, we stand it up. If it is a senior hire, we write the spec and sit on the panel.
