AI Consulting for Edmonton Organizations

Mostly remotely. We are based in Vancouver, and discovery calls, workflow mapping, builds, and check-ins all work well over video. For larger engagements, on-site sessions in Edmonton can be arranged, usually for a kickoff workshop, a shop or yard walkthrough, or team training.

Usually, yes, as long as a qualified person stays in the loop. Common builds pull requirements out of long tender documents into a compliance matrix, draft first versions of proposal sections from your past submissions, and turn handwritten or photographed field tickets and inspection notes into structured records. AI does not sign off on engineering, safety, or regulatory documents. We test on a sample of your real paperwork first, because accuracy depends heavily on document quality.

For different work. Amii is one of Canada's three national AI institutes and runs its own industry programs, and it is the right door if you need novel machine learning research or a custom model built by research scientists. Most mid-sized organizations need something more ordinary first: knowing which workflows are worth automating, a working build on proven tools, and staff trained to use it safely. If a project clearly needs research-grade machine learning, we will tell you and point you toward Amii.

Yes. We sign NDAs, complete vendor and security questionnaires, and work inside your own tenant, accounts, and approved tools rather than moving data into ours. Builds are designed to minimise the data they touch and to keep a person reviewing anything sensitive. We do not hold certifications such as SOC 2, so we work within your security requirements instead of claiming them. Your IT, security, and privacy leads should review any design before it goes into production, and we do not provide legal advice.

Honestly, it depends on the scope. One senior consultant leads and does the work, with a small bench of trusted specialists for extra volume. Engagements are staged, assessment first, then a pilot, then a rollout, so scope always matches capacity and you can stop at any stage. That model suits a head office, a mid-sized contractor, or a single department well. If you need an enterprise-wide transformation across many business units and systems at once, a large firm is probably the better fit, and we will say so on the first call.

Most organizations start with a focused assessment in the $1,500 to $2,500 range, and a production automation build typically runs $3,500 to $8,000 depending on how many systems it touches. Larger programs are scoped individually. On funding: as of September 2026 the federal Digital Adoption Program is closed. In May 2024, PrairiesCan funded Amii to support up to 30 Prairie small and medium businesses with AI adoption over three years, so it is worth asking Amii whether intake is still open. Each program sets its own eligibility, and we do not write grant applications.
