AI in service of your problems. Not the other way around.

GoodMind AI helps Quebec and Canadian small and medium businesses integrate artificial intelligence where it solves real problems — so your teams can focus on their core mission. And when AI is not the right answer, we tell you.

  • Diagnostic in 1 to 2 weeks
  • No long-term commitment

Why GoodMind AI

The rigour of medical research, in service of your business.

Laurent Chauvin, founder of GoodMind AI
Laurent Chauvin, PhD
Founder of GoodMind AI

"I founded GoodMind AI on a simple conviction: your AI projects deserve the same degree of rigour as the systems built for medical research and clinical trials."

Before GoodMind AI, I spent fifteen years building software in contexts where precision truly matters: medical imaging, surgical navigation, MRI-compatible robotics, deep learning and clinical trials.

At Harvard Medical School, I learned that a good system isn't the one that impresses in a demo: it's the one that stays understandable, traceable and robust when it meets real-world cases. My PhD in deep learning then taught me to treat models as imperfect statistical tools — useful when properly evaluated, dangerous when they replace judgment.

With GoodMind AI, I bring that discipline to Quebec and Canadian SMBs: listen before prescribing, say no when AI is not the right answer, and build systems simple enough to be used for a long time. I'm convinced that's the condition for staying globally competitive without losing sight of your mission.

    GoodMind AI

    Founder: turning the recurring problems of SMBs into useful, maintainable systems.

01

Rigour

Systems are designed to be tested, explained, documented and maintained.

02

Judgment

AI is proposed only when it brings more value than simple automation.

03

Security

Data, access, costs and Law 25 requirements are addressed from the diagnostic onward.

04

Clarity

You get readable deliverables: recommendations, risks, costs, limits and next steps.

Real examples

From a real problem to a useful system.

Every project starts from a daily pain point — not from a technology. Here is what that looks like in four sectors.

BEFORE AFTER GM AI

01

Notary office

The situation

"We spend hours digging through old files to find the right clause."

What we build

Your files answer back. An assistant retrieves precedents from past files, drafts standard clauses and prepares deed drafts — citing its sources.

The result

The notary focuses on analysis, not paperwork.

02

Mental health clinic

The situation

"Incoming requests pile up and we can't call everyone back."

What we build

A front desk that never sleeps. A dedicated assistant triages requests, proposes first appointments, sends reminders and collects intake forms — in full compliance with Law 25.

The result

The team gets time back for patients, not logistics.

03

Accounting firm

The situation

"Reconciling client transactions by hand is slow and error-prone."

What we build

Your data falls into place. A system gathers and structures transactions, detects anomalies and prepares draft GST/QST reports ready for review.

The result

The accountant reviews and advises instead of re-keying data.

Data pipeline

04

Construction contractor

The situation

"Preparing a bid from a call for tenders takes us days."

What we build

A first bid in minutes. AI prepares a first draft from the call for tenders, drawing on your past quotes, supplier prices and RBQ standards.

The result

You start from a solid draft and keep full control over the final price.

Our approach

Four phases. You stay free at every one.

No big contract to sign blind: every phase produces deliverables that belong to you, and you decide what comes next.

  1. Diagnostic

    1 to 2 weeks

    Understand the problem, the available data, the feasibility and the potential value. Together we define the metrics that will decide whether the project is a success — before writing a single line of code.

    Deliverable: a readable diagnostic report — recommendations, risks, estimated costs, limits and next steps.

  2. Prototype

    Restricted use case

    A prototype on a limited scope, tested with your real data. Your team tries it, gives feedback, and you decide with full knowledge whether to move forward.

    Deliverable: a working prototype and an honest evaluation of its performance.

  3. Production

    Project-dependent

    Production-grade development and deployment in your environment, with optional training for your employees to ensure lasting adoption.

    Deliverable: a deployed, documented system — and a team that knows how to use it.

  4. Support

    Ongoing

    Maintenance, optimization, cost tracking and new features, at the pace of your needs.

    Deliverable: a system that keeps performing, with costs under control.

No lock-in, ever.

At the end of each phase, you are free to stop, continue with us, or take your deliverables to another partner. Everything we produce belongs to you: code, documentation, results.

Data sovereignty

Your data stays yours.

Protecting personal information is not an afterthought. Every project starts with a simple question: where does your data go, and who can access it?

  • Law 25, from the diagnostic onwardQuebec's privacy requirements are built into the design — not bolted on at the end.
  • Hosting in Quebec and CanadaWhen your data is sensitive, we favour solutions hosted here — or directly on your own infrastructure.
  • Data minimizationA system only gets access to the data it strictly needs. Nothing more.
  • Full transparencyYou know at all times which tools are used, where your data travels and what it costs. Our privacy policy

Is your project ready for AI?

Two minutes to assess your project's readiness — or one email to talk it through directly. Either way, you leave with an honest answer.
