What does an AI implementation partner do?
Mihron AI calls this its forward-deployed model, and applies it to Canadian businesses in healthcare, pharma, and financial services — see the full forward-deployed AI engineer services for engagement scope and process. Read the full guide: what is a forward deployed engineer?
-
DiscoveryWe map your workflow and set the assistant's capabilities, constraints, and goals — typically inside an AI Readiness Sprint.
-
Integration with your existing systemsAgentic systems are connected directly into your CRM, EHR, or ERP, with voice and chat interfaces layered on top.
-
Building the assistantCustom agent architecture across your tools and data — the work that turns a defined scope into a working system.
-
Deploying to productionThe use case ships as a live, measured production system — not a pilot that stalls before it reaches your team.
-
Monitoring and guardrailsHuman-in-the-loop approval gates, with production oversight continuing after handoff.
How is Mihron AI different from an AI consulting firm?
| Factor | Mihron AI (Implementation Partner) | Typical AI Consultant / Agency |
|---|---|---|
| Deliverable | ✓ A production system, live and measured | A slide deck or strategy recommendation |
| Pricing | ✓ Scoped before work begins | Open-ended hourly billing |
| Accountability | ✓ Ships code; owns integration until the system is live | Advises; hands off recommendations |
| Reaching production (MIT NANDA, 2025) | ✓ Specialist-built deployments reach production ~67% of the time | ~95% of enterprise GenAI pilots never reach production |
Production-rate figures attributed to MIT's 2025 NANDA report "The GenAI Divide." Comparison reflects general market conditions for AI deployment, not a named-vendor benchmark.
What AI implementation services do you offer?
Every engagement is scoped and priced in Canadian dollars before work starts. Full scope, deliverables, and booking are on the AI agent & workflow deployment page.
Many engagements may be SR&ED-eligible — eligibility is determined by CRA, and this is not tax advice. Scaling past a single engagement into an enterprise-wide GPU and platform strategy? See Enterprise AI Factory implementation. For a line-by-line breakdown, see the forward-deployed AI cost guide.
Can you build a custom AI assistant for a small business?
Mihron AI applies this same forward-deployed model to small businesses through forward-deployed AI for Canadian small business — a done-for-you engagement with a custom AI agent trained on your services and pricing. Maya itself is bilingual, handling calls in English and French.

Bilingual, Canadian-first team — Mihron AI is the same Canadian company that operates Maya, our production AI voice agent, bilingually in English and French.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions Canadian ops leads and small-business owners most often ask before choosing an AI implementation partner.
Published tiers run from CA$5,000-9,500 for a Readiness Sprint (2-3 weeks) to CA$30,000-60,000 for a Pilot-to-Production build (6-10 weeks); a Fractional AI Lead retainer is CA$3,500-7,500 per month with a three-month minimum, and the AI Agent & Workflow Build is custom-scoped. Many engagements may be SR&ED-eligible — eligibility is determined by CRA, and this is not tax advice.
The best AI implementation partner is one that ships production systems rather than slide decks, and already runs an AI system of its own. Mihron AI meets that bar: it operates Maya, its own AI voice agent.
Engagements typically start with a 2-3 week AI Readiness Sprint that maps your highest-ROI workflow and delivers a written implementation spec. The first production system then ships during the 6-10 week Pilot to Production engagement that follows, once the work is scoped in writing and priced against published ranges — the same forward-deployed model Mihron AI uses to build and run Maya.
Yes. Beyond Maya, our own production AI voice agent, Mihron AI builds custom AI agents and workflow automation for healthcare, pharma, and financial-services organizations across Ontario and Canada.
Most AI implementation firms bill by the hour and hand over a pilot that may never reach production; MIT's NANDA study found 95% don't. Mihron AI already operates Maya, its own AI voice agent — proof, not a pitch.
