Deploy a capable AI agent in days — at a third of what a hire costs. Wilfred picks the right specialist for the work you can't justify hiring for, wires them into the tools you already use, and runs them day-to-day. You get the output. You skip the recruiter, the onboarding, the benefits, and the turnover risk.
Deploy Wilfred ↗Before you post the job, run the numbers. The typical Wilfred specialist averages around $2,000/month CAD all-in — the equivalent Canadian hire averages 3–4× that once you load the salary. Wilfred ships in days instead of months, never calls in sick, and never quits. Here's the side-by-side a business owner actually needs.

Figures based on Canadian SMB averages for entry-to-mid roles in admin, bookkeeping, reception, SDR, and paralegal work. Your numbers may vary; happy to walk through them on a call.
Four kinds of Canadian SMB owners are quietly running themselves into the ground because they can't find, afford, or justify the next hire. If any of these sound like your week, we should talk.
The pain: calls go to voicemail while you're on a roof. By the time you call back, the homeowner already booked your competitor. You can't afford a $48K receptionist and you can't keep losing $3K jobs over a missed call.
The fix: Maya answers every call in <2 rings, qualifies the lead, books the estimate into your calendar, and texts you the summary. From $497/mo.
The pain: you're a 6–15 person firm — law, accounting, consulting, architecture. You bill by the hour, but you spend Sundays catching up on reconciliations and chasing invoices. A full-time bookkeeper is overkill; finding a reliable part-time one is a hiring nightmare.
The fix: Quinn closes the books weekly inside your QuickBooks or Xero, chases AR, files GST/HST, and hands your CPA a clean year-end. From $1,200/mo.
The pain: Instagram DMs, Shopify chat, abandoned-cart emails, return requests, "is this in stock?" — and you're a team of three. Customers wait 8 hours for a reply, then buy from Amazon instead.
The fix: Theo handles tier-1 support across every channel, answers from your knowledge base, escalates only what matters, and recovers abandoned carts overnight. From $1,497/mo.
The pain: seed to Series A, two founders, no revenue team. You're doing prospecting between investor meetings. Pipeline is lumpy because outreach stops every time a fire breaks out. Hiring an SDR at $75K is six months you don't have.
The fix: Sam sources, enriches, sequences, and books inside your HubSpot or Salesforce. You walk into qualified discovery calls. From $1,997/mo.
Every other AI staffing platform routes your data through US servers. For regulated Canadian businesses — legal, healthcare, financial, dental, government, education — that's a non-starter. Wilfred is the only AI workforce conductor built end-to-end on Canadian soil.
Azure Canada Central + AWS Bedrock ca-central-1. Your data never crosses the border.
DPA, audit logs, 7-year retention — out of the box, every plan.
CAD pricing, CAD invoicing, 24/7 Canadian-staffed support. No FX surprises.
The mechanics of the conductor model — who manages whom, who owns the SLA, and what happens when something breaks.
You hire Wilfred. He's the conductor. He picks which specialists you need — Quinn for the books, Sam for outreach, Maya for calls, etc. — wires them into your stack, manages them day-to-day, and swaps anyone who underperforms. You get one bill, one point of contact, one SLA.
Wilfred runs weekly auto-evaluations against the outcomes you set during intake. He routes work to the right specialist, escalates anything that needs human judgment to your success manager, and sends you a monthly recap. If a specialist stops performing, Wilfred swaps them — no re-onboarding cycle for you.
Both. The Starter is Wilfred conducting a single specialist. The Duo pairs two agents in a real workflow. The Department (6 agents) is cross-functional orchestration. The Full Roster (10 agents) is the whole bench. Custom is anything else — including Sovereign-tier dedicated infra for regulated industries.
On Canadian soil. Every Wilfred deployment runs on Azure Canada Central and AWS Bedrock ca-central-1. Zero cross-border data flows by default. PIPEDA-compliant and Quebec Law 25 ready out of the box. On the Sovereign tier we'll deploy in a dedicated Canadian Azure tenant with customer-managed encryption keys.
Wilfred will swap them. No severance, no 90-day PIP, no re-recruiting. Tell Wilfred (or your success manager) and a different specialist takes the seat — Wilfred handles the knowledge handoff. The whole point of the conductor model is that you don't have to fire and re-hire.
48 hours from intake to first output. 15-minute structured intake, same-day specialist match from the bench, tools wired in over the next day, first deliverables by hour 48. Compare that to a 30–90 day human onboarding ramp.
Yes — send Wilfred the job description and we'll spin up a new pre-trained specialist against it. Custom specialists are included in the Custom package, and available as a one-time add-on for The Department and The Full Roster. Email us with the JD.
Wilfred is built to plug into the practices your clients already trust — not replace them. If you advise, recruit for, or do the books of Canadian SMBs, partnering with Wilfred adds a recurring revenue line, sharpens your offer, and keeps the relationship squarely with you.
Your clients hire you for the senior, strategic, hard-to-find roles. Send the rote ones — the bookkeeping, the reception, the SDR work they can't justify — to Wilfred. Earn a referral fee; keep every human placement.
When the org-design audit surfaces a role nobody wants to staff full-time, you've got a solution in your back pocket. Recommend Wilfred to your clients as the flexible AI tier, and we'll handle deployment while you own the relationship.
You can't coach a founder out of the weeds if they're stuck answering phones and chasing receipts. Wilfred is the operational lever your engagements need — deploy it as part of your playbook and watch progress accelerate.
White-label Quinn inside your firm to handle daily reconciliation across your client book. Your team moves up the value chain (review, advisory, CFO services); your margin per client goes up, not down.
Tell us about your practice and which lane fits (referral, white-label, or co-sell). We respond inside one business day.
Co-branded one-pagers, deal-registration access, a dedicated partner manager, and a sandbox environment to test-drive any agent on real data.
Submit a client, we run the deployment (or you do, white-label). Commission paid monthly in CAD for the life of the account. Your client stays yours — protected by deal registration.
Tell Wilfred the work you need done. He'll pick the right specialists, wire them into your stack, and have your AI team producing by Friday. Canadian-hosted, CAD-billed, with a real Canadian human on the other end of the line.
