AI automation for small businesses across Canada and the US
Never miss another customer call, quote or booking.
We set up AI that answers your calls, follows up your quotes, books the work and handles the paperwork, inside the tools you already use. You stay on the job. It handles the rest.
- Free, no obligation
- Nothing is built until you approve
- Based in the GTA, working remotely across Canada and the US
Example
Meet your AI assistant. It never clocks out.
One assistant working across your email, calendar, quotes, accounting and records, one task after another, before your day starts.

DoneThe problem
Busy is when work slips through.
You can't answer the phone from a roof, chase quotes from a job site or do the books at 9 pm without something giving.
The phone rings mid-job
Many callers don't leave a message. Some just call the next business on the list.
Quotes go quiet
The quote goes out, nobody follows up, and the customer books whoever called back first.
Admin eats your evenings
Bookings, reminders, invoices and data entry pile up until the real work is done.
What we automate
Pick the work you want off your plate.
Start with one. Add more when it pays off.

The offer
The Free Automation Plan.
On a free 20 minute call, we map how work comes into your business. Then you get a short written plan naming 3 pain points we can fix. Free, no obligation. If you want to go ahead, a priced proposal comes after.
1. A 20 minute call
You tell us how calls, quotes, bookings and paperwork work today. By phone or video, wherever you are.
2. Your plan, in writing
A short list of 3 pain points in your business that we can fix. It is not a quote, and nothing is built until you approve a proposal.
3. You decide
Want to go ahead? You get a priced proposal. Or just keep the plan. If AI is not the right fit for something, we tell you. You talk to the person who builds it.
Questions
What owners ask first.
What does Detent Systems do?
We build AI automation for small businesses: an AI receptionist that answers calls, quote follow-up, booking and reminders, paperwork and custom automation for any repetitive task. It runs inside the tools you already use. We scope it, build it and switch it on.
How much does it cost?
Start with the Free Automation Plan: a free 20 minute call, then a written plan naming 3 pain points we can fix. If you want to go ahead, you get a priced proposal written for your business.
How does AI automation help a small business?
It takes repetitive work off you and your team: answering calls and inquiries, following up on quotes and invoices, booking appointments, entering invoices and data, sending customer updates and pulling reports. It runs inside the tools you already use, under rules you set, and passes anything unusual to a person.
What if it is not a fit for my business?
We confirm the fit on the free 20 minute call, before either of us commits. If AI is not the right answer for what you need, we tell you.
How long does it take to set up?
Most systems go live 2 to 4 weeks after you approve the proposal.
Will it work with the tools we use?
It runs inside the accounts you already have: Gmail or Outlook, Google Calendar, QuickBooks or Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, your phone line and most other tools with an API. We confirm the fit on the call, before either of us commits.
Do you work with businesses outside the GTA?
Yes. We are based in Mississauga and work remotely, by phone and video, with small businesses across Canada and the US.
