We modernize legacy software and build intelligent automation for Canadian businesses - integrated into your real workflows, in weeks not months.
AI automation, knowledge assistants & legacy-software modernization for Canadian SMBs — sovereign, Canadian-hosted data, fixed price for every project, from a 5-day audit to a fully scoped build.
You've seen AI demos. None survived contact with your real data.
Global firms want $100K minimums and a 6-month statement of work.
Offshore agencies don't understand PIPEDA or how Canadian businesses work.
Your team worries AI will replace them - or they just don't trust it yet.
Where we work
We deliver remotely, with Canadian data residency, using the same fixed-price engagement model no matter which city you're in.
Industries we serve
We focus where enterprise engineering background and Canadian data residency matter most.
Modernize plant-floor and back-office systems, and automate the reporting and scheduling work that still runs on spreadsheets.
Sovereign AI and PIPEDA-documented data residency for organizations that handle sensitive personal or patient information.
Knowledge assistants and automation for firms whose value is locked in documents, case files, and institutional know-how.
Fixed-price modernization and data-residency work for firms where clients ask hard questions about where their data lives.
Automate the manual coordination between systems that slows down scheduling, tracking, and reporting.
We work across all sectors. If your industry isn't listed above, let's talk — our platform and approach scale to any business model.

"CODIA built a document Q&A system for our legal team in 5 weeks. What took a junior associate a full day now takes minutes. The ROI was clear by week 3."

VP Operations, Meridian Legal Group
"We'd tried two other AI vendors before CODIA. The difference was that Valentin actually understood our business - not just the technology. The system he built is still running perfectly 8 months later."

Valentin
Founder, CODIA
I'm Valentin, founder of CODIA. I spent 14+ years as an enterprise software engineer - including roles at SS&C and MDA - shipping mission-critical systems for regulated industries, and I'm MCAD/MCP certified. Today I bridge that legacy-systems experience with production AI, so Canadian SMBs get automation and AI that actually ships - no big-firm minimums, no offshore black boxes. Just clean engineering and outcomes you can measure.
There's no shortage of AI automation shops pitching Canadian businesses right now. Here's a practical checklist for telling the real ones apart from the rebranded offshore dev shop, before you sign anything.
Most AI vendors won't tell you a number until after a sales call. Here's what a fixed-price AI automation engagement actually costs in Canada, broken down by project type.
Legacy systems don't have to hold you back. Here are the five modernization paths CODIA uses to turn aging software into a competitive advantage, when automation is the cheaper fix instead, and how to pick the right one.
If you're deploying AI in your Canadian business, PIPEDA compliance isn't optional. Here's what you actually need to know - and what most vendors won't tell you.
Tell us about your business and what you're hoping to achieve with AI. We'll get back to you within 24 hours.
