Special projects AI consulting. Custom builds, fixed quotes, from people who ship.
We're an AI studio in Vancouver. Bring us the thing off-the-shelf software can't do — a custom agent, an integration into the tools you already run, or a whole product — and we scope it, price it flat, build it, and hand over the keys. It's built on Dockbox and Warden, the platform we made and give away free, so you own the result outright.
An AI studio.
Built in Vancouver.
A decade running marketing and operations the manual way taught us exactly where AI moves the needle — and where it doesn't. So we built our own platform, ran it as a paid service for two years, and then released it for free. What we sell now is the part the software can't give you: the judgment to build the thing that doesn't exist yet. Headquartered in BC; working with businesses across Canada and the US.
Build it, run it, or learn it.
Special projects are the main event. Everything else is a way in — or a way to keep it running.

Fit call
Thirty minutes, free. You tell us what should exist and what it should do; we tell you whether we're the right builders — and roughly what shape the work is.
Fixed quote
Scope written down, price written down. Project-priced from $3,500 CAD — no hourly meter, no surprise invoices.
Build sprint
Working software in weeks, not months of slideware. You see it running early and often, and steer while it's cheap to steer.
Handoff
Documentation, training, and the keys. It runs on the free AiOn platform, so nothing is held hostage — you own the result and the stack underneath.
