Every build is different. Here's what's possible.
We don't sell platforms. We design the specific AI agent that fits the specific spot in your operation - the one eating five, ten, twenty hours a week of someone's time. The five capabilities below are the productized examples we keep returning to. Each engagement is custom-built.
The full digital stack. One operator.
We don't sell platforms. We design and build the specific systems your business runs on: custom AI workflows, websites, hosting, search. End-to-end, with one person accountable.

Four steps. No fluff. No surprises.
Every engagement starts with process discovery and mapping. We find the actual bottleneck before we design the AI for it. The four-step Method runs the Lean tools we actually use - real work, not jargon - so the build fits your specific operation. No two rollouts the same.

Common questions, plain answers.
How much does an AI agent or website cost?
Every build is custom-scoped, so the cost depends on what you actually need: simple vs. elaborate scope, the number of system integrations, how much process discovery is required, and how much of the work runs on existing infrastructure vs. new. We do not publish standard SaaS pricing because no two rollouts look the same. The free 30-minute Bearings call is where we map the process and put a real number to it.
Who is Compass AI Group for?
Canadian small-to-medium businesses with 5-50 employees, led by owner-operators who answer the phone, sign the proposals, and run operations themselves. Strongest fit: engineering firms, law practices, real estate teams, and wellness studios.
What is the Compass Method?
A four-step engagement model rooted in Lean principles: Bearings (process discovery and mapping), Charting (scoped proposal), Heading (build with weekly reviews), and True North (outcome measurement). The Method exists so the AI we build fits your actual process - discovered with you, not assumed. No two rollouts look the same.
How long does an engagement take?
Depends on the scope and the integration complexity surfaced during discovery. The free Bearings call is 30 minutes. A scoped Charting proposal arrives within 3 to 7 days of the call - with a real timeline based on your specific situation. We work with one client cohort at a time so the work gets the attention it needs.
How is Compass different from a marketing agency or a dev shop?
Compass is operator-led. Bobby brings 30 years of inside-the-business operations experience plus AI infrastructure background. Marketing agencies ship slides. Dev shops ship code without business context. We map your process first, find the actual bottleneck, then build the agent that fits. No two rollouts look the same.
Do you build AI agents that comply with Canadian regulations?
Yes. PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) compliant data handling on every build. Legal builds are Law Society of Ontario standards-aware including audit trails, citation, and matter-management compliance. Real estate builds are RECO (Real Estate Council of Ontario) aware. Healthcare engagements scoped case-by-case.
Can you automate our bookkeeping?
Yes — bank feeds in, categorized transactions out. Receipt OCR (Optical Character Recognition), GST/HST (Goods and Services Tax / Harmonized Sales Tax) tracking, reconciliation, accelerated monthly close. Plays with QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, Wave. The agent shrinks your accountant's cleanup work by ~70% and gives you a CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) ready audit trail on every categorization decision.
