    AI Agent Development in Montreal

    AI capital meets bilingual digital excellence. We build AI agents that do work rather than answer questions: booking appointments, qualifying leads, chasing documents, updating your CRM. Every agent ships with the parts a demo leaves out — a written scope of what it may and may not do, human approval on anything that moves money or data, full tracing of every tool call, and a per-run cost you can see before you commit. Built on LangGraph, the OpenAI Agents SDK or Claude tool use, chosen against your requirements rather than ours.

    AI Agent Development Features & Capabilities

    Every AI Agent Development project we deliver in Montreal includes these enterprise-grade features, customized for Quebec's specific market requirements.

    Actions, Not Just Answers

    Agents that write to your CRM, book into your calendar and update your tickets, through scoped credentials rather than a shared admin login.

    Human Approval Gates

    Anything that spends money, emails a customer or changes a record can require a person to approve it first. You decide which tier each action sits in.

    Full Tracing

    Every prompt, tool call, retry and cost logged in Langfuse, so you can answer "why did it do that" at two in the morning.

    Evaluation Before Launch

    A written eval suite that runs in CI, so a prompt change that breaks behaviour fails the build instead of reaching customers.

    Cost Ceilings

    Per-run and per-month token budgets with hard cutoffs, so an agent in a retry loop cannot produce a surprise invoice.

    Your Model Choice

    Claude, GPT or an open model on your own hardware. One gateway so switching provider is a configuration change, not a rebuild.
