In short
Agentic AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that do more than answer: they plan and carry out tasks in your tools — reading an email, updating the CRM, sending a follow-up — according to rules you set. For an SMB, a first agent costs CA$3,500 plus CA$349 a month at Zenidata.
Over the past two years, most businesses have tried generative AI: you ask a question, you get text. According to the Institut de la statistique du Québec, 12.7% of Quebec businesses had used AI to produce goods or services in the twelve months before the second quarter of 2025, and the smallest firms lag furthest behind.
Agentic AI is the next step: the AI no longer just drafts the email, it sends it, records the reply and moves on to the next file. That is where the hours are recovered, and that is also where clear rules are needed.
Calling is the shortest path. By form or by email, we reply within 1 business day. The audit takes 30 minutes and commits you to nothing.
An agent has four parts. A goal ("follow up on invoices 15 days overdue"). Tools, meaning limited access to your software. Rules: what it may do alone, what must go through a person, what it must never do. And a log where every action is written down.
The language model provides the reasoning: it reads the situation and picks the next step. The rules and the log are the guardrails. A good agent is not the one with the most powerful model; it is the one whose rules were written with the people who do the task today.
The best candidates are repetitive tasks, with steady volume, whose rules fit in a few sentences:
With a single task, measured before and after. Not with a forty-page "AI strategy". One task that works in three weeks teaches you more than a year of reading, and it pays for the next one. That is the idea behind our First digital worker package.
The same prices for everyone, before taxes, in Canadian dollars. The 30-minute discovery call stays free: we use it to check that the task can really be automated before proposing anything.

Our first three "First digital worker" clients pay CA$2,900 and CA$299/month. In return, we measure your situation before we start and you allow us to publish the results: hours recovered, follow-ups sent, turnaround times. That is how we build our case studies, honestly, instead of inventing testimonials.
50% at signing, 50% at go-live. Taxes extra.
Licences for your own software remain yours to pay. The monthly fee covers a normal SMB volume; if yours is unusual, we price it with you before signing, not after.
It is a form of artificial intelligence that carries out tasks instead of only producing text. An AI agent receives a goal, picks the steps, acts in your software (calendar, email, accounting, CRM) according to your rules and keeps a log of every action.
ChatGPT drafts and answers; a person copies, sends and follows up. An AI agent does those steps itself in your tools, with your prices, policies and files. ChatGPT remains excellent for an employee who writes; an agent is for tasks repeated dozens of times a week.
Yes, if it is designed in from the start: hosting in Canada preferably, access limited to the data needed, consent per purpose, an action log, and a possible human review for any fully automated decision about a person. This is not legal advice; your privacy officer remains the point of contact.
At Zenidata: CA$3,500 plus CA$349 a month for a first agent assigned to one task, CA$7,500 to CA$12,000 plus CA$590 a month for two or three linked tasks, and from CA$15,000 for a custom project spanning several systems. Before taxes, in Canadian dollars.
No. For a task like accounts receivable follow-up, the information just needs to exist somewhere: accounting software, spreadsheet, emails. The discovery call is there to check what is available.
It depends: automation platforms such as n8n, Make or Zapier, language models chosen for the task, and direct connections to your software when it offers a connection interface. We pick the simplest tool that does the job.
