We're a practical AI firm built for Ontario small and medium businesses. Grant navigation, real implementation, no jargon.
Ontario businesses are sitting on millions in unclaimed government funding for AI adoption, and most don't know it exists. The programs are there — IRAP, OCI DMAP, BDC LIFT — but small and medium business owners don't have time to navigate the paperwork, assess the options, or figure out what AI tools actually move the needle.
We started Ontario AI Consulting to bridge that gap. We're not a software reseller. We don't pitch subscriptions. We come in, figure out what AI will actually save you time and money, help you get funded for it, and handle the implementation. Then we train your team to use it.
— Shane Ryan, Principal Consultant
We only recommend AI tools with a clear, measurable return. If it doesn't save time or cut costs, we don't pitch it. Every engagement starts with an audit, not a sales pitch.
We know the Ontario funding landscape inside out. IRAP, OCI, BDC LIFT, Digital Main Street — we track what's available and match clients to programs they qualify for.
We don't hand you a report and walk away. We build the workflows, set up the tools, train your team, and follow up. The deliverable is a working system, not a slide deck.
Shane leads client engagements, scopes projects, and ensures every deliverable meets the standard of practical, jargon-free AI adoption. Based in Renfrew County, he works with businesses across Ontario — from Ottawa to Toronto to Northern Ontario.
With a background in business strategy and a focus on practical results, Shane founded Ontario AI Consulting to help local businesses access the funding and expertise they need to adopt AI tools that actually work.
