Nordai

What Nordai does

NordAI inc. is a privately held AI and software engineering firm headquartered in Lévis (Saint-Romuald), Quebec, founded in 2024 with a team of approximately six AI specialists and full-stack developers. The company designs and deploys custom AI systems — including conversational and voice agents, RAG-based document intelligence, LLMOps pipelines, and AI phone agents — that integrate with clients' existing software (CRM, ERP, calendars, document repositories). It serves Quebec small and mid-market businesses across multiple verticals (construction, healthcare, professional services, education, finance) with a stated emphasis on Quebec French accent support and Canadian data residency under PIPEDA and Loi 25.

The firm operates a dual business model. The larger revenue engine is custom AI development services sold through a consultative sales motion: a free 30-minute discovery call leads to fixed-scope proposals with explicit architecture, timeline, and budget, followed by 4–12 week build phases and ongoing production support. The second engine is Manni, a SaaS AI meeting assistant launched in 2025 that records and transcribes Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet meetings with claimed 98% accuracy, automatically generates summaries and action items, and stores data in Canada; Manni is offered via self-serve at $9.99/month Pro with a 7-day free trial and via a quote-based Enterprise tier. AI Phone Agents, launched in 2025 as a service offering, extends the voice capabilities into a recurring-revenue product.

NordAI reports having supported over 40 Quebec businesses with a claimed 100% client satisfaction rate, and lists Academos, Micrologic, Mila, Université de Montréal, Elo Mentorat, Mosai, Kimoby, MCF, and Coop FA among its clients. Manni reports 500+ active users, 10,000+ transcribed meeting hours, and a 4.9/5 satisfaction score. The company has won the Pléiades 2026 Haute technologie award (Journal de Lévis) and been named finalist in two Fidéides 2026 categories and the Young Chamber of Commerce Ascension prize, with earned-media coverage in Le Soleil Affaires. No external funding rounds are disclosed, indicating bootstrap-financed operations.
