AI Product & MVP Development in Calgary
The best AI Product & MVP Development in Calgary, at the best available price.
A real, production-grade build you can put in front of users or investors. Frontend, backend, mobile, the agentic AI underneath, and the cloud or private infrastructure it runs on, as one engagement rather than four vendors.
Calgary is the headquarters of Canada's energy industry, and it has been building a technology sector alongside it, with growth in energy technology, agriculture technology, fintech and logistics. Many companies here are established businesses adding software and AI, rather than software startups.
Calgary founders building in energy, agriculture or logistics technology know their industry deeply. The build turns that knowledge into a product field teams and customers can use.
What you get
- Full-stack build on Next.js, Node or Python, with a database and API design that survives past the MVP
- AI where it earns its place: LLM features, retrieval over your own documents, agent flows that call real tools, voice
- Auth, payments, analytics and an admin surface, not a demo that breaks on the second user
- Deployment across AWS, GCP or Azure, or private and on-premise hosting where the data demands it
- Clean, documented code on your own infrastructure, written to make us replaceable on purpose
Final pricing depends on scope, features and complexity, so we settle it on a call before any work starts.
Invoiced in USD or CAD, payable by Wise or bank transfer.

Who builds here
Fractional CTO Services
Calgary's established energy and industrial businesses often need senior technology leadership to guide a move into software and AI, without hiring a full-time executive.
What Calgary companies build with us
Get it built at $0.
That is not a discount. It is when you pay. The work is split into checkpoints with acceptance criteria written down before anything starts, and each checkpoint is invoiced only after you have seen it and accepted it. No deposit.
- $0 to start
- You hold every dollar until a checkpoint is delivered and you accept it. No approval, no invoice.
- Fixed cost, unlimited features
- Or hire the team outright: one fixed monthly cost, unlimited feature development, any stack.
- The engineer takes your call
- The person on your first call is the one who architects and writes it. No account managers, no bench time.
A US agency quotes $50,000 to $150,000 for the same build and asks for 40 to 50% of it before a line is written. Account managers, project managers, sales commission and bench time. None of it appears in your product.
Three stages, nothing hidden.
Twenty-minute call
You talk to the engineer who will build it, not a sales rep. We scope the problem and you get told plainly if this is the wrong fit.
Fixed proposal in 48 hours
Fixed price, fixed timeline, defined deliverables, in writing. No hourly billing surprises and no open-ended scope.
Weekly demos until it ships
Working software every week, direct access over Slack or WhatsApp, and documentation handed over at the end.
What actually applies here.
Regulation and data
Private companies in Alberta are covered by the province's PIPA rather than federal law for most purposes, and health custodians by Alberta's Health Information Act. Energy companies work under their own regulators and often under strict contractual rules on where operational and engineering data can go, which usually matters more for AI work than privacy law. Alberta has also rewritten its public sector privacy law, which affects anyone selling into provincial bodies.
Contracting and payment
You contract with an individual consultant based in India. Invoices in CAD or USD, paid by Wise or bank transfer. Your accountant treats an overseas supplier in the usual way, and any paperwork they need is provided before work starts.
Working hours
Calls in your morning, Mountain time, a shared window at the start of your day, and work handed over overnight so the next round is waiting when you start.
Can AI work happen without our data leaving our network?
Yes. Models can run on hardware in your own data centre or a private cloud account, fully air-gapped if required, with offline updates.
Do you work with companies that are not software businesses?
Yes, and that is often where the work is most useful. A fractional CTO or a dedicated engineer works with your operations people, not just a technical team.
Is three days realistic?
For a working, demoable version of a core idea, yes, and that is what the three-day build is. A full production system with billing, admin and hardening takes weeks, not days. We will tell you which one your situation actually needs.
Do we own the code?
Entirely. It ships into your repository on your own cloud accounts, documented so your team or your next hire can pick it up without us.
Can you also host the AI model privately?
Yes, and as part of the same engagement. If compliance means inference cannot leave your network, the serving layer and the application are built together rather than handed between vendors.
MVP Development
A working MVP in as little as 3 days, from $1,000. Production-grade, not a throwaway prototype.
