Dwell AI · AI consulting from Dwell Logic
Dwell AI helps small and medium-sized businesses and professionals choose, set up and use the right off-the-shelf AI tools. No custom software or new subscriptions unless the work requires them, and every system is built so you can switch tools later.
Why Dwell AI
AI has transformed how Dwell Logic operates. The principal rebuilt the firm's real estate investment operations around AI (underwriting, market analysis, document production, reporting, and day-to-day administration) and now runs a workload that once required a support team, at roughly three times his previous personal output.
“Other business owners noticed and started asking me to show them how I had tripled my personal production and cut my operating costs. Dwell AI grew from there.” Matt Landsborough, principal
That is the service: not a technology seminar, but the working methods of an operator who depends on these tools daily, adapted to your business.
Approach
Recommendations follow an assessment of your work, your data and your budget. Most businesses need one or two well-configured tools, not a stack of subscriptions.
Commercial platforms, configured properly, cover most needs. Custom builds or extra subscriptions are recommended only when the work requires them.
Instructions, knowledge bases and workflows are kept in portable formats, so you can move to a different AI platform if pricing or capability shifts.
Work is billed hourly with no retainer and nothing recurring. What gets built is yours to keep.
Services
01 · Strategy
An assessment of your operations to identify where AI produces a measurable return, and where it does not. Tool selection, cost analysis, data privacy considerations and a sequenced adoption plan matched to your budget and risk tolerance.
02 · Implementation
Hands-on setup of the tools your plan calls for: workspace configuration, document and knowledge-base integration, repeatable workflows for your highest-volume tasks, and private local model deployment where confidentiality requires it.
03 · Training
Practical instruction for owners, professionals and staff, from the basics of effective prompting to advanced multi-step workflows, using your real work as the training material.
Coverage
Selection, configuration and effective use of the major commercial offerings (Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini), including plan selection, workspace and team setup, and integration with the software you already run.
Most businesses are paying for more AI capability than they use, or using free tiers that leak more value than a paid seat costs. We fix both.
For businesses handling confidential client, financial, legal or health information, we design and deploy locally hosted models that run on your own hardware. Your data never leaves your premises or your control.
Scoping covers hardware requirements, model selection and the honest trade-offs between local and cloud capability before you spend a dollar on equipment.
In-person sessions in Winnipeg and the surrounding area; video or telephone for clients anywhere else.
Fees
Initial consultation
$200 CAD
Up to one hour, discounted from the standard rate. A working session: we review your business, identify the highest-return applications of AI, and leave you with concrete next steps whether or not you engage further.
Ongoing engagement
$250 CAD / hour
Strategy, implementation and training billed by the hour. No retainers, no courses and nothing recurring. You pay only for the time devoted to your specific situation.
The initial consultation fee is payable by invoice or Interac e-Transfer once your meeting time is confirmed. Consultations are held by telephone or video conference, or in person in Winnipeg where practical.
Questions
Whichever fits the work. Most engagements use one or two of Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini or Perplexity, or a private model running on your own hardware. The recommendation follows an assessment of your tasks, your data and your budget, not a preferred vendor.
Usually not. Well-configured off-the-shelf tools cover most small-business needs. Custom builds or additional subscriptions are recommended only when the work genuinely requires them, and the trade-offs are explained before you spend anything.
No. Instructions, knowledge bases and workflows are set up in portable formats so you can move to a different AI platform later if pricing, capability or your needs change.
Commercial platforms process data on the vendor's servers under their business terms, so plan selection and settings matter. For confidential client, financial, legal or health information, a private local model keeps the data on hardware you control. The assessment maps which data each tool would see before anything is set up.
Up to one hour reviewing how your business runs, where AI would pay for itself and where it would not, and concrete next steps. It is useful whether or not you engage further.
Yes, in Winnipeg and the surrounding area where practical. Sessions are otherwise held by video conference or telephone, for clients anywhere in Canada and beyond.
It depends on the size of model you need and how many people will use it. Scoping covers hardware options, model choice and the honest trade-offs against cloud platforms before you buy any equipment.
Hourly, at $250 CAD, with no retainer and nothing recurring. You pay once for the work, and the systems are yours to keep.
