AI Station
Pilot program open for Canadian businesses

Practical AI for the work that costs you money every week.

AI Station builds focused tools for manufacturers, distributors and field-service companies. Each one reads the data you already have and tells your team what to deal with first.

People approveThe AI drafts, ranks and flags. Your team makes the call.

Three tools, three industries, one way of working.

We chose these because the problem shows up every week, a focused first version can be running within weeks, and the payback is easy to measure.

AI Station LineFor plants that can't justify enterprise software

Know why output is below target, and what to fix first.

Connects the machine events, production counts, scrap and downtime records you already collect, then ranks your losses by impact and explains the likely cause.

  • Loss and OEE breakdown by line and shift
  • Root-cause suggestions from downtime patterns
  • Works with older equipment and handwritten downtime sheets

Downtime by reason, this weekSample data

Filler jams are the largest single loss. Most start within 20 minutes of a changeover.

AI Station SupplyFor plants and distributors that can't afford to run out

Know which late delivery will stop your line, days before it does.

Compares supplier promised dates with when production actually needs each material, flags shortages and unconfirmed orders, and drafts the reorder or supplier email.

  • Days of cover for every material, against the real schedule
  • Catches slipped dates in supplier emails and confirmations
  • Raw materials, packaging and maintenance spare parts

AI Station DispatchFor service companies with 5–50 technicians

Spend less time in the office and more time on billable work.

Turns incoming emails and calls into draft work orders, suggests the right technician by skill and location, and keeps customers updated without retyping anything.

  • Draft work orders from email, voicemail and call notes
  • Technician suggestions by certification, location and schedule
  • Customer updates and job summaries, ready to approve

How AI Station fits into your business.

No new system for your team to learn. We read from the tools you already use and hand back recommendations for a person to approve.

Our first five pilot partners.

We're starting with a small group of Canadian businesses and working closely with each one. All five places are still open.

  • Setup and weekly check-ins with the founder, not a support queue
  • A direct say in what we build next
  • Founding partner pricing, agreed in writing before you start
  • Named as a launch partner only if you want to be

Prove the value before you commit.

Every engagement starts small, with a number agreed up front. If the pilot doesn't move it, you don't continue.

  1. Week 0

    Discovery call

    We find one costly problem that happens every week or every day, and agree on the number we'll measure.

  2. Weeks 1–2

    Read-only connection

    We connect to the data you already have, such as your ERP, purchasing inbox, machine logs or schedules. Nothing is written back.

  3. Days 30–60

    Measured pilot

    Your team uses the tool in their normal work. We track results against the baseline you set.

  4. End of pilot

    Decide

    Review the results together. Continue on a subscription, change the scope, or stop.

Ten problems we think are worth solving.

Places where Canadian businesses lose time and money every week and affordable software still falls short. Four of them have products in progress. If you face one of the others, we'd like to hear about it.

Is AI Station just a chatbot?

No. Each product is built around one business workflow and connects to your real operational data. You can ask it questions in plain language, but the value comes from the integrations and the analysis behind them.

Will the AI control our machines or systems?

No. Every product starts read-only. AI Station Line gives recommendations and never touches machine control. In all three products a person approves each action before anything changes.

Do we have to replace our ERP, scheduler or accounting software?

No. The tools fit around the systems you already run, including the email and spreadsheets that hold most operations together.

Where is our data stored?

Canadian hosting options are available, and every pilot agreement states in writing where your data is stored and processed, and which AI providers handle it.

What does a pilot cost?

Pilots are paid and fixed-scope, so both sides are committed to a real result. Pricing depends on the product and the integration work involved. You get a quote after the discovery call.

We have a different problem. Can you help?

Possibly. Check the solution map. If your problem is there, or it is a similar workflow that costs you money every week, tell us about it.

Tell us what's costing you money.

Describe one problem that happens every week. We reply within two business days with whether we can help and how a pilot would measure it.
