AI Product & MVP Development in Montreal
The best AI Product & MVP Development in Montreal, 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.
Montreal is one of the world's main AI research centres, home to Mila, and has a large games, aerospace and creative industry. It is also a French-first business environment, which affects products, contracts and hiring.
Montreal products usually need to work in French and English from launch. The build treats French as a first-class language rather than a translation layer.
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
On-Premise LLM Deployment
Law 25's rules on transferring personal data outside Quebec make a model running in your own Canadian environment the simplest way to use AI on customer data.
What Montreal 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
Quebec's Law 25 is the strictest privacy regime in Canada. It requires a privacy impact assessment before personal information is transferred outside Quebec, privacy by default, and telling people when a decision about them was made exclusively by automated processing, with the right to have it reviewed by a person. Penalties can reach 4% of worldwide turnover. Quebec's language law, strengthened by Bill 96, also requires French in contracts, product interfaces and documentation for Quebec customers.
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
Four or more hours of daily overlap with Eastern time, calls in your morning, and same-day replies on working days.
Does Law 25 stop us from using AI APIs?
Not outright, but transferring personal information outside Quebec requires a privacy impact assessment and adequate protection. Many teams find it simpler to run the model in a Canadian environment they control, or to remove personal information before any call.
Can the product be in French?
Yes. Interfaces, AI responses and documentation can be built bilingual, with French treated as a primary language.
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.
