AI Consulting and AI Services for Burnaby Businesses

Usually nothing is wrong with the tools. The problem is that each one was bought to solve a different person's problem, none of them is connected to the systems where your work actually lives (your CRM, inbox, booking or accounting software), and nobody owns the result. So people copy and paste between tabs and the hours come back somewhere else. AI consulting in Burnaby for a business in this spot starts with one workflow: map it, measure how long it takes today, cut the tool stack down to what that workflow needs, connect it properly, and train the people who run it. Once one workflow is visibly faster, the next ones are easier to justify.

Yes. Business parks such as Lake City, Willingdon Park, and Glenlyon hold a lot of mid-size tech, software, and technical services companies, and many have the budget for AI but lack a clear strategy. We come in alongside your existing team to do the AI work (tool evaluation, internal automations, workshops) without adding headcount.

Absolutely. Retailers at or near Metrotown often have repeatable operational work: inventory updates, product copy, customer email, reviews, social. Those are high-value targets for AI automation. Multi-location service businesses near Metrotown can also use AI for reporting and forecasting across stores.

It is useful context but not something we lean on as a selling point. The gap between academic AI research and what is useful inside a Burnaby business is huge. We focus on practical tools (ChatGPT, Claude, automation platforms) that your team can actually operate, not research-grade systems.

Small and practical. Typical first builds are an intake form that files enquiries straight into your CRM and drafts the first reply, quote or proposal drafting from your own past work, appointment reminders and follow-ups, review requests after a completed job, and weekly reporting pulled automatically from the tools you already use. Each one is built in your existing accounts, documented, and handed over so your staff can run it without us.

Yes, because most useful AI services in Burnaby businesses sit on top of a CRM, an email platform, or a booking system. If the CRM is half set up, AI will make the mess faster rather than fix it. Scoping usually covers the CRM fields, pipeline stages, and marketing automation rules that the AI step depends on, then adds AI where it saves real time, such as summarising calls, drafting follow-ups, or routing leads.

A Quick Check is $1,500 flat for one workflow or question. A Readiness Assessment is $3,500 flat for one team or business unit of up to 25 people and includes a readiness scorecard, interviews, a tool and gap review, the top five opportunities, and a 90-day roadmap. Cross-functional Strategic Assessments start from $12,500. Automation builds start from $3,500. Prices are quoted in writing before anything starts.

It can help. In 2021, 11 percent of Burnaby residents spoke Mandarin most often at home, 8 percent Cantonese, and 3 percent Korean, so clinics, property managers, tutoring centres, and retailers often field enquiries in those languages. AI can draft replies and translate incoming messages, but anything sent to customers should follow approved wording: we produce those templates with AI-assisted translation and professional human review arranged on request, and keep a person in the loop for anything sensitive.

Yes. Burnaby is next door, and most of the city is under 30 minutes from Vancouver. In-person workshops and discovery sessions at your office in Brentwood, Metrotown, Lougheed, Edmonds, or the business centres are easy to arrange. The same applies to New Westminster and to AI consulting in Coquitlam, which has its own page.
