Questions

Before You Book

What AI agent should a Canadian small business build first?

Start with one narrow agent that handles a visible bottleneck: customer intake, quote preparation, missed-call follow-up, internal knowledge lookup, or CRM summaries. Avoid giving the first agent payment, legal, medical, HR, or final approval authority.

How much should a small business spend on an AI agent?

Start with a small scoped workflow before funding a large build. The useful first step is to map the job, data, approval rules, and tools, then decide whether a simple chat agent, automation, training, or custom software is the right next move.

What should stay human-approved?

Keep pricing changes, refunds, contracts, legal advice, safety issues, HR decisions, medical information, and public promises under human review. AI agents should draft, summarize, route, and prepare decisions before people approve them.

What is an AI agent for small business?

It is a software assistant that can use approved business information to answer, draft, summarize, route, and help complete tasks with human review.

Can an AI agent talk to customers?

Yes, with guardrails. We can build customer-facing chat agents that answer common questions and capture leads while escalating important issues.

Will an AI agent replace employees?

The best use is to reduce repetitive work so your team can focus on judgment, relationships, and delivery.
