An AI consultant who comes to your yard, shop or office
Surrey is the second-largest city in Metro Vancouver, and it works differently from downtown. Compared with the region as a whole, a bigger share of Surrey workers are in trades, transport, and sales and service jobs (City of Surrey census profile). Many businesses here are family-run. The owner answers the phone, writes the quotes, chases the payments and does the books at night.
That's the work we take off the owner's plate. We come to you, whether you're in Newton, Guildford, Fleetwood, Cloverdale, City Centre or South Surrey, look at how your week really goes, and write a plan for the one job that costs you the most hours. A senior builder from our team leads your project from the first visit to handover.
AI for trucking and logistics companies
Between Campbell Heights, the border crossings and the highways, a lot of freight moves through Surrey, and the Surrey Board of Trade says the city has more manufacturers than anywhere else in BC (BIV, January 2025). Much of the admin behind it still runs on phone calls. We cover this in depth in AI for trucking and logistics and our guide for Surrey fleets.
Where AI helps a trucking or logistics company:
- Load and rate calls. A voice agent answers shipper and broker calls, logs the load details and tells the caller when to expect a rate. Your dispatcher sets the rate, and the AI emails it once approved.
- Driver check-ins. Short calls or texts to drivers for status and arrival times, in Punjabi, Hindi or English.
- Paperwork. Chasing bills of lading, proof of delivery and permits, and matching them to invoices.
- A dispatch board. Every load, driver and status on one screen, built for your fleet. See custom software.
- Invoice follow-up. Polite reminders on unpaid invoices, with anything disputed passed to you.
Why start with the phone? In a small fleet, the dispatcher is often also the person answering every broker, driver and customer call. When an AI agent takes the routine calls and logs them properly, that person gets back the hours they need for planning loads and solving the real problems.

Book a callTrades, construction and real estate
Trades. A plumber under a sink can't answer the phone. An AI receptionist can: it books the visit, texts the address back, and follows up on open quotes until the customer decides. After the job, it asks happy customers for a review.
Construction. Daily site notes turned into tidy logs, subcontractor schedules confirmed by text, and change-order paperwork drafted for your approval.
Real estate and mortgages. AI can answer listing calls within seconds, book showings into your calendar, and keep every lead warm until they're ready to move. We've made AI video ad campaigns for Lodha, Max Estates and Hero Homes, among India's largest real-estate developers, so property marketing is familiar ground for us.
Clinics and shops. Dental and physio clinics in Newton or Fleetwood, and stores with more than one location, take the same calls all day. An AI receptionist answers in English, Punjabi or Hindi, books the appointment or answers the stock question, and texts the details back.
Voice agents that speak Punjabi and Hindi
In Surrey, 20% of residents speak Punjabi most often at home. Mandarin, Hindi and Tagalog are each the main home language for another 2 to 4% (2021 Census, same City of Surrey profile). If your customers or drivers would rather talk in Punjabi, an English-only phone line puts them off.
The voice models we build on handle live calls in Punjabi and Hindi as well as English, along with Mandarin and Filipino (Tagalog). The agent answers in the language the caller speaks, books the job, and writes the call summary in English for your team.
Before launch we test the agent with you on your real call types, including strong accents, mixed Punjabi and English, and calls from a truck cab. The simplest way to judge it: on our free call, ask us for a live demo in Punjabi or Hindi and hear it for yourself.
Family businesses: AI that helps without taking over
In a family business, trust matters more than features. Nobody wants a machine messaging their customers in their name without asking first.
So every AI employee we build has a boss, and in most Surrey family businesses that's the owner. The AI drafts, and a person approves anything that goes to a customer or costs money. It's how we run our own company: our AI chief of staff, Trejon, checks with our founder before anything reaches a customer.
A typical job card for a family-run renovation company:
Role: answer calls while the owner is on site. Boss: the owner's son, who runs the office. Schedule: weekdays 7 to 6, any call not picked up by the third ring. Never-rule: never agree a price; book a site visit instead.
Plenty of Surrey businesses deal with suppliers, family or customers in India. We build for clients in India and the UAE as well, so different time zones and WhatsApp-first customers are normal for us.
Start with one job. When the family or the office team is ready, we run a hands-on workshop at your place so everyone can use it, and add the next AI employee when it makes sense. If you also have a location downtown, see how we work with Vancouver businesses.
