AI automation & consulting, Toronto since 1998

Everyone says get into AI. Nobody says how. We do the how.

We find the slow, expensive parts of how your business actually runs and wire AI automation in where it earns its keep. 27 years building software for Canadian businesses in Toronto and across Canada, 60+ shipped products, and zero slide decks. You leave with a working thing, not a strategy PDF.

You don't need an AI strategy. You need one thing automated well.

If "we should be doing something with AI" has come up in a meeting and then gone nowhere, you are exactly who we work with. You do not need a transformation, and you do not need a consultant who says "leverage" four times and disappears. You need one boring, expensive task automated properly, with a human firmly in the loop. Then another. Start there.

why c-Seven, not a consultancy

Most AI consultants sell a deck. We build the thing.

This is AI automation consulting for Canadian businesses the practical way. For 27 years c-Seven has built and shipped software for Canadian businesses, with 60+ products designed, built and maintained in-house. No reselling, no offshore hand-offs, no strategy deck that ends at the door. You work directly with the people who build and run it, and we will tell you when something is worth doing and, just as often, when it is not.

Which one is you today?

everything under one roof

Still a small shop. Still does all of it, websites included.

From AI process automation to custom software and websites, here is how we wire AI into your business workflows.

Practical AI & automation

Cut through the hype. We wire AI into the slow parts of how you work, support, intake, triage, content, with a human in the loop.

Consulting & support

With so many paths to choose from, a little upfront advice goes a long way. Someone there for ongoing support means you can sleep at night.

Custom development

When plugins won't cover it, we build it custom. If you have seen it, we can do it.

System & API integration

CRM to CMS, LMS and third-party APIs, connected so the tools you already use talk to each other.

Design integration

We turn static design files into dynamic, easy-to-update webpages, without piling on extraneous plugins.

Websites, hosting, email & DNS

You could get someone else to manage your DNS, SPF and CDN, but why? One supplier means less finger-pointing when something breaks.

Content & data entry

Moving your data into your site, from Word docs, another website, CSV or XML feeds and more.

the proof

We don't just consult on AI. We run our business on it.

60+ software products, designed, built and maintained in-house, and c-Seven's own store, billing, licensing and support all run on the automations we sell. Our AI chatbot, AI assistant, analytics and marketing engine run in production on live client sites today. We are our own first client, and our most demanding one. So when we wire AI into your work, it is something we already run ourselves, not theory.

before you ask

AI automation, answered.

What does an AI automation consultant actually do for a small business?

We look at how your business actually runs, find the slow, expensive tasks (quotes, intake, follow-ups, data entry), and build AI automations that do them reliably with a human in the loop. Strategy, build and upkeep, all from one shop in Toronto.

How much does AI automation consulting cost in Canada?

Our AI audit is free to start. A single automation build is a fixed quote, typically mid four figures to low five figures depending on scope, and ongoing tuning is a monthly retainer you can cancel anytime. No open-ended agency billing.

How do I know which business processes are worth automating with AI?

That is exactly what the free AI readiness audit answers. We look at how you work and hand you a short written list of the 3 to 5 places AI would save real money, what each costs to build, and what to skip.

What is the difference between AI automation and traditional software development?

Traditional software follows fixed rules. AI automation handles the messy middle, reading emails, drafting quotes, triaging requests, work that used to need a person. We build both and wire them into the tools you already use.

How long does it take to automate one business workflow?

Most single-workflow builds ship in a few weeks, not months. You will know the timeline before we start; it is part of the fixed quote.
