Everything you might ask

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.

Yes. Custom AI apps are a core service — web apps, internal tools, customer portals and SaaS MVPs with AI logic, user accounts, databases and payments built in. You own the code. Custom apps start from $10,000 CAD and are scoped on a short call.

No. You describe the outcome you want in plain language — "answer my phone", "stop chasing invoices", "get more leads" — and Handbuilt designs and builds the system. There's nothing to install or configure on your end.

Absolutely — local service businesses are a primary focus. The highest-impact builds are an AI receptionist that answers while you’re on a job, automated booking and no-show reminders, and instant lead follow-up. How much time that gives back depends on your call volume and how much of your admin is repeatable — the free calculators will give you a number from your own figures.

Yes. Handbuilt builds private personal apps too — planners, finance trackers, study and coaching assistants, and habit tools — built around how you actually live, not a generic template.

Handbuilt has three clear tiers: Starter AI Setup at $1,500 CAD for one tool, Business AI System from $3,500 CAD for a connected system, and Custom AI App from $10,000 CAD for a full build. There's also an optional AI Care Plan at $99/month for hosting, monitoring and ongoing tweaks.

An AI receptionist starts at $1,500 CAD as a Starter AI Setup — it answers calls and messages 24/7, books appointments and texts you the details. If you want it connected to your CRM, calendar and follow-up workflows, that's the Business AI System from $3,500 CAD.

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.

Use the AI Solution Finder on the homepage — pick what you want AI to do and answer two quick questions, and you'll get a recommended build and price in seconds. From there you book a free 15-minute call to confirm scope, then the build begins.

Every tier includes post-launch support (14–60 days depending on tier). After that, the optional AI Care Plan ($99/month) covers hosting, monitoring, monthly tweaks and priority support so your AI keeps running without you thinking about it.

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 $1,500 CAD.

Yes — for custom apps you own the code and it's built on a modern, ownable stack with no lock-in. For tools and automations, you own your data and accounts. You're never trapped in a proprietary platform you can't leave.
