Serving Ottawa and the National Capital Region. Remote anywhere in Canada.
Equal Path helps Ottawa businesses find the three things AI actually does for them, build the first one, and run it without us. Senior judgment, fixed fees, no black boxes.
Leveling the playing field in the AI revolution
Most businesses do not have an AI problem. They have a "which of these forty things is actually worth doing" problem, and nobody to ask who is not also selling something.
Equal Path exists to answer that question honestly, and then to build the one or two things that pay. We work with Ottawa businesses of five to fifty people: accountants, lawyers, engineers, brokers, clinics, agencies. Firms with real process problems and no CTO to hand them to.
We teach you to run what we build. Consultants who leave behind black boxes get paid twice. We would rather get paid once and get a referral.
I lead AI transformation at a technology company. It is a great job, and it has shown me what these systems do once they genuinely work. Not the demo version. Agents running unattended, taking on the parts of the week nobody was ever glad to do, and handing those hours back to the people who used to spend them.
That part is real, and I have watched it happen. What is also true is less comfortable. The businesses that would benefit most from it are the ones least likely to get there. Ottawa is full of firms with better people and sharper customer instincts than the companies quietly pulling ahead of them. They are not losing on merit. They are losing on access.
Equal Path is how I do something about that in my own city, for businesses too small for a CTO and too serious for a chatbot.
One more thing. If you email Equal Path, the reply comes from an AI agent I built over a weekend. It knows the prices, it knows what I will not do, and it knows when to stop and fetch me. That is roughly the size of the thing most people start with.
Three ways to work together, led by a paid audit
$2,500. Two weeks. Fixed fee.
Week one, I count what actually happens in your business. Inbound volume, response times, hours by task, what falls through the cracks. Nothing changes yet.
Week two, you get it in writing. The three highest-leverage things to automate, what each is worth in hours and dollars, what each costs to build, what to ignore and why, and a 90-day sequence.
If you go ahead with a build within 90 days, the full $2,500 comes off the price.
Dollar values are calculated at 60% recovery, never 100%. Automation moves work, it does not delete it.
$5,000 to $12,000. Two to four weeks. Fixed fee.
One agent. One job. One clear success condition. We test it against 25 real cases from your own records before it goes anywhere near a customer, design the escalation so anything unusual reaches a human, and train your team to run it.
You own it and you operate it. No lock-in, no black box.

Hands-on coaching for owners and leadership teams, using your actual work rather than generic examples. Tool selection, prompt technique, what to hand to a machine and what to keep with a person, and how to build a habit that survives the first month.

Everything you need to know about working with us
Most consultants hand you a black box and leave, then get paid again to maintain it. We do the opposite. We start with a paid audit that tells you honestly what is worth automating and what is not, we build only what pays, and we train your team to run it. You own what we build. We would rather get paid once and earn the referral.
Not at all! We specialize in making AI accessible to everyone, regardless of technical background. We explain complex concepts in simple terms and provide hands-on guidance tailored to your skill level. Whether you're a complete beginner or tech-savvy, we meet you where you are.
For basic AI tool training, you can put it to work immediately. A focused automation typically takes two to four weeks from scope to deployment, depending on complexity. The audit itself is two weeks and gives you a plan you can act on right away.
We work with all major AI platforms including ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, Midjourney, and specialized business tools like Zapier AI, Make.com, and n8n. We're platform-agnostic and recommend tools based on your specific needs and budget, not vendor partnerships.
We work with businesses across all industries - from e-commerce and marketing to healthcare, legal, real estate, and professional services. AI applications are universal: content creation, customer service, data analysis, workflow automation, and more. If you have repetitive tasks or information-based work, AI can help.
Everything is a fixed fee, quoted up front. The AI Audit is $2,500 for two weeks, and it comes off the price of a build if you go ahead within 90 days. A Build runs $5,000 to $12,000 depending on scope. Executive AI Coaching is $500 per session or $3,500 for an eight-session programme.

Because the free version is worth what it costs. Twenty minutes to work out whether we are a fit is free. The audit is not a sales call, it is two weeks of real work that produces a document you own and can act on even if you never hire me again. Every serious firm in this market charges for it, for exactly that reason.
No, and deliberately so. I build systems you own and operate, and I train your team to run them. I do not take on uptime responsibility, because I would rather do a small number of things properly than run a support desk. I am glad to recommend how to host it so it is straightforward on your side.
