Why a local consultant
Most AI consultancies that rank for “AI consulting Canada” are either large firms built for enterprise budgets or offshore development shops. A&O is neither: one senior person in Vancouver who scopes the work, does the work, and is in your time zone, with fixed prices published on this site.
We have shipped our own AI products, including Cairn, a native iOS app on the App Store, and this website, and the founder's background is in enterprise architecture and running engineering operations at scale.
Questions BC companies ask
- Who can help a BC company get started with AI?
- A&O Consulting is a Vancouver-based AI consultancy that works with BC companies of roughly 20 to 500 people. Most clients start with a one-week, $1,500 fixed-price AI readiness assessment, then move to training, product strategy, or building a product end to end.
- Do you work with companies outside Vancouver?
- Yes. We work in person across Metro Vancouver, and remotely with companies elsewhere in BC, including Victoria, the Okanagan and the North, and across Canada.
- How much does AI consulting cost in BC?
- Our prices are published: a $1,500 fixed AI readiness assessment, training from $2,500, a product strategy sprint from $1,500, end-to-end product builds from $8,000, and a fractional AI lead from $2,500 a month. Every engagement has a fixed price agreed before work starts.
- Can you help a small business, not just large companies?
- Yes. Small and mid-sized teams often get the most from AI, because they cannot afford hours of manual work. The assessment is designed to find the few changes worth making without a large budget or a data science team.
- Do you handle Canadian privacy requirements?
- We flag where AI use touches personal information so you know what to take to your privacy lead or counsel, and we design systems so your data stays within the boundaries you set. We are not lawyers and do not give legal opinions.
