Sommelier.Where business meets the right intelligence
We taste so you don't have to.
There are more AI products than any business could evaluate, and every one of them has a marketing page claiming it changes everything. We keep track so you can stop trying to.
We started where the money leaks first: businesses that had become invisible to AI search. From there the work grew outward into strategy, integration, private deployments, and the custom agents that hold it all together.
We're based in Ottawa and we work in both official languages. We also train new talent across Canada in coding and AI, building the next generation of builders alongside our client work. Nous parlons français.
How we work
Independence
We don't resell anyone
No vendor pays us to recommend them. If the honest answer is that you don't need AI for this, that's the answer you get.
Fit over hype
The best tool is rarely the right one
Benchmarks don't run your business. We weigh your budget, your stack, and what your team will actually adopt on a Tuesday afternoon.
Ownership
You keep the keys
Your data, your accounts, your infrastructure. We build things you can run without us, and we document them so you can.
Plain language
No jargon tax
You should be able to explain what we built to your accountant. If we can't put it in plain terms, we don't understand it well enough yet.
