Built in your own accounts
Everything runs inside the tools you already log into. You keep the keys and the data the whole time.
For Ottawa businesses drowning in busywork
Get your nights and weekends back.
We automate the one task that keeps you doing admin after hours, built in your own tools. Save 5 hours a week in 30 days, or the scoped build fee is refunded and you keep the build.

5-hour-a-week saving in 30 days, or the build fee is refunded.
Built to trust
Founder-led, local, and built so you keep control.
You work directly with the founder. Your information never leaves your control, and you own the result. No agency layers, no offshore handoffs.
Founder-led Ottawa build partner
Local to Ottawa. You work directly with the person scoping, building, and handing over the automation. Fixed-scope delivery, full ownership at handoff, and an independent local implementation partner who can say no when a build is not a fit.
- Local to Ottawa
- Founder-led build
- Own it at handoff
You own everything
At handoff you get plain-English docs of exactly what was built, and full ownership of the result.
What we build
Plain automation outcomes, not AI theatre.
- Email triage & replies. Draft replies, sort repeated requests, and flag the messages that still need a human decision.
- Booking & scheduling. Route appointment questions, reminders, rescheduling, and handoffs through the tools your team already uses.
- Data entry & invoices. Turn receipts, invoices, and form submissions into clean records for review before the next action.
Ottawa Automates turns the public AI for All principles, Trust, Opportunity, and Sovereignty, into local owner-controlled automation. Ottawa Automates is independent and not a Government of Canada program. Read the principles or browse the guides.
How a sprint runs
Four steps from fit call to owned automation.
01
Fit call
We map one piece of busywork and confirm it is worth automating.
02
Scope
A fixed-scope plan with the hours-saved target written down up front.
03
Build
The automation is built inside your existing tools, with a simple stats report wired in.
04
Launch & own
30 days of tune-ups, handoff docs, and full ownership of the result.
The 5-Hour Launch Guarantee
The terms, in plain language.
Founding 20 program (capped at 20 Ottawa clients): if the scoped build does not save at least 5 hours per week within 30 days of launch, the scoped build fee paid is refunded and you keep the delivered build. Founding 20 clients also agree to a short written case study and one reference call when the build delivers. See engagement terms.
You keep the delivered build either way. The stats report is how both of us see the real number.
Check the fit rulesThe first builds are free
The first 5 approved-fit builds are free: a complete, working automation, built for you and yours to keep. Founding 20 pricing applies for the next 15 clients.
The main terms, up front
The guarantee, the refund, the free-build offer, and what Founding 20 clients agree to are spelled out here in plain language. We walk you through the full engagement agreement on the fit call, before you commit to anything.

Read the guaranteeFit check
Strong fit, or no-build advice.
We only take on builds that are a strong fit. The call is useful even when the answer is no.
Good fit if
- You run an Ottawa or NCR business with one admin task that keeps repeating
- Your staff lose 5 or more hours a week to copying, chasing, sorting, or retyping
- You want AI to work inside tools you already pay for
- You want a fixed-scope build, not an open-ended agency project
Not right if
- You need a broad digital transformation plan before touching one task
- You want a public AI product with custom model training
- You need a certification project rather than a working automation
- You are not ready to give clear access to the tools the task depends on
