Who it's for
Owners who keep hearing about AI, want to use it sensibly, and don't have time for another meeting.
It fits best in professional services (bookkeepers, accountants, consultants, small law offices), real estate, insurance and finance brokers, and small creative or marketing agencies.
A good fit if you...
- Run a Canadian business with 1 to 20 people
- Teams of 21 to 50: email us for a written quote, starting at $750.
- Do much of the admin, writing and organizing yourself
- Want clear written steps you can follow at your own pace
- Prefer email over calls and video meetings (the one optional monthly session in One-on-One Support aside)
Probably not a fit if you...
- Want someone on site or on regular calls. Lakewise AI works by email, with one optional monthly Google Meet included only in One-on-One Support
- Need software installed or accounts managed for you
- Are buying as an individual rather than a business
- Want custom software development

What you get
A written playbook, specific to your business, that you can act on without outside help. Here is a short excerpt from a fictional example.
Playbook excerpt: "Birch Lane Bookkeeping"
A made-up 6-person bookkeeping firm, used for illustration.
1. Monthly client reminder emails
You said you spend about an hour each month chasing clients for missing receipts. Ask a free AI chat tool to draft a friendly reminder from a template you write. You review and edit before sending.
2. Replies to common customer emails
Keep a short document of your usual answers (deadlines, fees, what you need from clients). Use it as a starting point when asking AI to draft a reply. Never paste client names, account numbers or financial details into the tool.
3. What to skip for now
Automated bookkeeping integrations are more than you need at this size. Revisit in six months.
Every playbook includes
- A short summary of where AI can help your business, and where it can't
- Step-by-step instructions for each suggestion
- Copy-and-paste prompts written for your work
- Tool suggestions, with free options where they exist
- Privacy notes: what not to put into AI tools
- A simple order to try things in

Questions
Honest answers to common questions.
Really everything by email?
Really. Everything is by email: the questionnaire, the playbook and any follow-up. The only exception is the optional monthly Google Meet session in the One-on-One Support package. That keeps costs down and lets you work through it on your own schedule.
What AI tools will you recommend?
It depends on your business and what you already use. Suggestions favour well-known, widely available tools, with free or low-cost options where they exist. You decide what to sign up for.
What happens to my information?
Your questionnaire answers are used only to write your playbook. We never ask for passwords, and we don't handle your customer data. Please don't include customer names or personal details in your answers.
How long does it take?
The questionnaire takes about 15 minutes. Your playbook arrives by email within 5 business days of receiving your completed questionnaire.
Do you work with businesses across Canada?
Yes. Lakewise AI serves Canadian small businesses across Canada.

About
Run by Curtis Mei, C.E.T.
Curtis is a manager with more than 15 years of experience writing technical procedures and standards, onboarding staff and leading teams. His work has always come down to the same thing: taking how things get done and writing it down clearly enough that someone else can follow it.
Lakewise AI applies that same approach to AI for small businesses. Clear, written, practical steps, without the hype.
