MDC AI Studio · Audit · Design · Build

We build the AI that runs your business.

Most owners use AI as a chatbot and stop there. We go further — learn how your business actually runs, then build the systems that take the repetitive work off your plate and tie your scattered tools into one machine that mostly runs itself.

The truth is, much of the work you may be paying external consultants an exorbitant monthly rate to handle for you can be reduced — if not eliminated entirely — using AI you actually own.

No obligation. You walk away with a ranked map of where AI would help you most — yours to keep, whether we build it or not.

Where most people stop

The chatbot

You open ChatGPT or Claude, paste in some context, and get a good answer. Useful — but it forgets everything the moment you close the tab, and it can't touch the tools your work actually lives in.

Where we take you

A system that remembers and acts

Persistent memory of how your business works, wired straight into your email, CRM, calendar and books — running the recurring work end to end, on a schedule, with you in control.

Who it's for

If your business runs on you, this is for you

Built for owners and small teams where the work has outgrown the hours in the day.

Owner-operators

Wearing every hat — sales, ops, books, marketing — and out of hours to wear them.

Small teams buried in admin

Skilled people losing their days to data entry, follow-ups, and copy-paste busywork.

Service businesses

Losing leads and revenue to slow, manual quoting, scheduling, and follow-up.

How it works

Three steps. You stay in control of scope and spend.

01

We audit

I come in and map how your company actually works — department by department, task by task — with a deep, structured discovery.

You getA clear map of where time, money & errors hide.
02

We design

I take it back to the studio — where the creativity happens — and design a ranked menu of AI builds tailored to your highest-cost workflows.

You getA ranked menu of AI builds, scored & priced.
03

You choose — we build

Pick what you want built: one quick win, a few, or the works. Every build is modular and priced by complexity, so it stays your call.

You getWorking, governed AI — live in your business.
What we build

We build anything — customized to your business

There's no fixed catalog here. Every build is shaped around how your business actually works — and the audit tells us your highest-value ones, including brand-new pipelines you'd never find by searching the web. The examples below are just to spark ideas, not a menu to pick from.

Communication & admin
Marketing & content
Sales & growth
Money & compliance
Operations & support

…and whatever your audit surfaces — your real menu is built from your business. Complexity = how much data it ingests, how deep the integration goes, and how much ongoing upkeep it needs.

How far you take it

Start with the audit. Go as far as it's worth.

One clear starting point — then it's entirely your call. Build nothing, build one thing, or build the works. No subscriptions, no lock-in.

01

The Audit

$1,000CAD · one-time

I come in and map how your business actually runs — task by task — then hand you a ranked, priced menu of exactly where AI would help you most.

Even if you stop right here, you leave with something rare: an understanding of AI that cuts through the noise, quiets the fear, and reveals the almost limitless of what's possible — as far as you're willing to push it. That clarity is yours to keep, whether or not we build a single thing.

02

The Builds

Custompriced per build

From the audit, I present you a menu of builds tailored to your company. Each one is priced individually — based on how much work it takes me to build and maintain it — so you only ever pay for what moves the needle. Pick one, pick a few.

Simple automation
~$750–1,500
e.g. email triage & auto-responder
Moderate agent
~$2,500–4,500
e.g. a self-updating CRM
Complex pipeline
~$6,000–10,000
e.g. lead-gen & enrichment

Example ranges to give you a feel — your real numbers are scoped from the actual build, with optional light upkeep where one needs it.

03

The Works

Packagenegotiated rate

Want your whole Opportunity Map built out? Opt in to the full package and we negotiate a reduced rate per build — the more we build together, the less each one costs. Your business, running end to end on AI.

Safe by construction

You decide what AI can touch, and what's off-limits. Every agent runs behind a permission layer — it only ever does what the right person is allowed to do, sensitive data stays protected, high-stakes actions wait for your approval, and every action is logged. Your data stays in your own cloud.

About Matt

A real person who builds — not a faceless firm or an app you're left to figure out.

I'm Matt. I personally bridge the gap between how your business runs and the AI that can take work off your plate — in person, start to finish. AI isn't here to replace you; it's here to keep you organized, cut unforced errors, and let you spend your time on the work that actually needs you.

I spend nearly every waking hour in AI — testing the latest add-ons, harnesses, "second brains," and automations as fast as they ship. I've built and deployed iOS and Android apps, websites, and Roblox games, and designed my own AI "operating system" that tracks and runs my whole company.

Getting the most out of AI for your specific needs is genuinely hard. My advice for anyone starting out: start simple, and only add layers of complexity as the need for them actually arises.

If you just want to level up from chatbot user to agent user, I made a free slideshow that walks through my personal rig and exactly where each new layer earned its place. And if you bring me in for an audit, teaching your team the general AI best practices comes free.

MDC AI Studio is an MDC Group company — same builder behind every engagement.

Questions

The things owners ask first

Will this replace my employees?

No. It removes the repetitive, low-value work so your people can do the work that actually needs a human — the judgment, the relationships, the craft. AI handles the busywork; your team does what they're good at, with fewer fires to fight.

Is my data safe?

You decide what AI can touch and what's off-limits. Builds run behind a permission layer, sensitive data stays protected, and anything high-stakes waits for your approval before it happens. Your data stays in your own cloud — we don't hoard it.

Do I need to be technical?

Not at all — that's the whole point of a hands-on studio. I handle the building and hand you something that just works. You stay in plain English; the wiring is my job.

How much does it cost?

The audit is $1,000 CAD. After that, each build is priced by complexity — simple automations are inexpensive, data-heavy agents cost more. You get a ranked menu with prices attached, so you choose the scope and the spend. Nothing is open-ended.

How is this different from hiring a consultant?

Most consultants hand you advice and a slide deck, then bill a monthly retainer to keep doing the work for you. We build — you get working AI systems you actually own that do the recurring work themselves. So instead of paying a person every month, much of that cost gets reduced or eliminated by the tools we leave behind. The asset is yours, and you stay in control.

How fast will I see results?

The audit itself is quick. Your first build is usually a focused quick win you feel right away — then we sequence the rest by return on investment, so the highest-value work lands first.

What if I only want one thing?

Perfect. Start with a single highest-ROI build to test the waters. No lock-in, no big platform commitment — you scale up only if and when it's earning its keep.

Let's find your highest-ROI win.

A free, no-obligation audit call. You walk away with a clear, ranked map of where AI would help your business most — yours to keep either way.
