AI consulting and automation in Winnipeg, Manitoba
True Meridian AI is an AI transformation agency based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. We run AI audits for small and mid-sized businesses in Winnipeg and across Canada to find where they lose time and revenue, then build the custom automations, AI agents, and websites that fix it. We also say plainly where AI will not help.
What we do for Winnipeg businesses
AI audit
One call, then a few days to a week while we review how your business runs and write your plan. A second call goes over the results. The plan ranks each AI idea by how much it helps and how hard it is, and you keep it whether or not you build with us.
Automations and AI agents
Custom workflows and agents for the repetitive work: replying to new inquiries, following up on quotes, sending invoices and payment reminders.
Websites
Premium websites designed to convert and built to your brand.
AI workshops
Hands-on, one-on-one sessions that help you and your team work confidently with AI.
Privacy rules for AI in Manitoba
Alberta, British Columbia, and Quebec have their own private-sector privacy laws. Manitoba is not on the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada's list of provinces with a law substantially similar to PIPEDA, so PIPEDA is the law that covers customer information a private-sector business handles in the course of commercial activity. It applies when that information goes into an AI tool too, and your business stays responsible for it.
Health information has its own law in Manitoba, the Personal Health Information Act, so check it if you handle patient or client health records. This is general information, not legal advice. Our PIPEDA-compliant AI checklist walks through what to do before customer data touches an AI tool.
What we mean by an AI audit
The phrase covers two different jobs. One is a formal review of an AI system for bias, safety, and regulatory compliance. The other is a review of how a business runs, to find out where AI is worth using at all. Our audit is the second kind.
If you need a formal compliance review of an AI system, check a provider's credentials for that work before you hire. If you want to know which tasks in your business should be automated, which should use AI with a person checking, and which should stay as they are, that is what we audit. The AI audit guide explains the difference in more detail.
Who the audit is built for
It is built around the repetitive work of service businesses, agencies, and B2B teams:
- New inquiries that wait too long for a reply
- Quotes that go quiet after they are sent
- Invoices that go out late, and payments that arrive later still
- The same details typed into more than one tool
It is a weaker fit if you want a tool built before anyone has looked at how the work runs. An audit is one call, a few days to a week of review, and a second call to go over your plan. You keep the plan whether or not you build with us. Book an AI audit.
How to choose an AI consultant in Winnipeg
Whoever you pick, these five questions separate advice from a sales pitch. The AI audit guide has the longer list, and our article on hiring a partner versus building in-house covers when an outside team makes sense at all.
- 01Ask what they recommend against. A provider who never says no is selling, not advising.
- 02Ask who owns the accounts, workflows, and documentation when the project ends.
- 03Ask where your customers' information goes and whether it is used to train a vendor's models.
- 04Ask for a fixed scope and price in writing, with maintenance included in the comparison.
- 05Ask to speak to a past client, and for a small first step before a large commitment.

What is an AI audit for a small business?
An AI audit is a close look at how your business runs. It starts with one call. Then we spend a few days to a week reviewing what we learned and writing your plan. A second call goes over the results. The plan ranks each AI idea by how much it helps and how hard it is. You can try a smaller version yourself with our free guide.
How long does a typical project take?
An audit is one call, then a few days to a week for us to review and write your plan, then a second call to go over the results. Builds take 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the project. You get a timeline before we start, and we check in with you every week.
Is there a free intro call?
Yes. Send us a message and we'll set up a short call to see if an audit makes sense. It's free, and there's no obligation.
Find where your business is losing revenue.
An AI audit maps where time and money slip away and ranks the fixes. Start with a short intro call.
