Everything you might ask
Straight answers about what we build, what it costs, and how it works.
General
Handbuilt builds custom AI tools, agents, automations, chatbots, dashboards and full apps. Common builds include an AI receptionist that answers calls 24/7, a lead follow-up agent, an invoice reminder system, a website chatbot, and custom business dashboards. If a task is repetitive or you're losing leads to slow replies, it can probably be automated.
Pricing
Handbuilt has three clear tiers: Starter AI Setup at $1,000 CAD flat for one tool, Business AI System from $2,500 CAD for a connected system, and Custom AI App from $7,500 CAD for a full build. There's also an optional AI Care Plan at $250/month for hosting, monitoring and ongoing tweaks.
Process
A Starter AI Setup is usually live in about 5 business days. A Business AI System takes 2–3 weeks. A Custom AI App is typically 4–8 weeks depending on scope. You get a clear timeline before any work begins.
Technical
Yes. Handbuilt can add a chatbot, AI search, smart lead-capture forms or product recommendations to a site you already have, without rebuilding it. Adding AI to an existing website typically starts from $1,000 CAD.
