Help & FAQ

Straight Answers.

The questions Alberta business owners ask us most, answered honestly — cost, timelines, data, and what AI does and doesn't do.

The Basics
What does AltaPro AI actually do?

We build and run custom AI systems for Alberta business owners — AI receptionists and callers, quoting and estimating engines, custom CRMs, and back-office automation. Everything is built on how your business really works, then operated for you. The best custom builds get productized into software other businesses can run.

Does AI replace my staff?

No. We build AI to take the repetitive busywork off your team's plate — after-hours calls, chasing quotes, data entry, scheduling — so your people spend time on the work that needs a person: winning jobs, judgment calls, and looking after customers. It's coverage for the gaps, not a replacement for your team.

Do I need to be technical to use it?

No. The system runs in the background and is built to be used by your existing staff on day one. If you or your team want to get sharper with AI, our free AI School at school.altaproai.ca starts from zero.

Which businesses do you build for?

Alberta business owners and professionals: trades, landscaping, construction, real estate, law firms, clinics, moving companies, retail, and professional services. If your week has repetitive manual work in it, the model fits.

Cost & Timeline
How much does it cost?

There's no rate card — scope drives price. Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute automation audit that maps your operation and hands you a build plan with cost, timeline, and payback, whether or not you hire us. Book it at /#audit.

Is the free audit really free? What's the catch?

Really free, no obligation. The audit is how we qualify projects — we'd rather both sides know exactly what the work looks like before any money changes hands. You keep the plan either way.

How fast can something go live?

Most deployments — bots, AI callers, quote tools — go live within about 14 days of kickoff. Larger builds like custom CRMs typically run 2 to 6 weeks depending on integrations and data migration. The audit gives you a real timeline before you commit.

Getting Started
What happens on the free automation audit?

Thirty minutes on a call. We map how your operation runs, find the manual steps costing you the most, and tell you exactly what we'd build, what it would cost, and what it would save. No commitment — you leave with the map.

What should I have ready for the audit?

Nothing formal. Just a sense of where your week goes and what feels like a time sink — missed calls, slow quotes, scheduling, invoicing, follow-up. We'll take it from there.

Data & Trust
Is my business data safe, and where does it live?

Your business data is yours. We're PIPA and PIPEDA-conscious, use consent-gated analytics, and never use one client's data to train systems for anyone else. Our full posture is published at /trust and /privacy.

Will the AI do things without my approval?

No. Our systems draft, prepare, and suggest, but anything irreversible — sending, charging, deleting — waits for a human yes. You stay in control.

Are the results on your site real?

Yes. The case studies are real Alberta businesses and real numbers. Where a figure is illustrative — like the ROI calculator — we label it. No fake logos, no invented stats.

Comparisons
AI receptionist vs a traditional answering service?

An answering service takes a message — the caller still doesn't get an answer or a booking. An AI receptionist answers the question and books the appointment directly, day or night, and logs the whole conversation so you can see what was said.

Custom AI system vs off-the-shelf software?

Off-the-shelf is faster to start but forces your business to bend around it. A custom system is built around how you already work, and we operate it for you. The audit tells you honestly which one fits your situation and budget.
