We build the software that puts AI to work.
Chrono is a software development firm with AI expertise. We help you identify where AI can make a difference, then build and integrate the software to automate workflows, improve operations, and add AI to your products.
100+ projects shipped to production 80+ clients
Start with the benefits of AI,
not the experimentation.
The solutions we build: scoped as outcomes, delivered to production, and run after launch.
Digital products
Your product end to end: designed, built, and shipped to production, from the first version to the releases that follow.
Learn moreAI agents
Agents that do real work in your business: intake, operations, analysis. Built to production standard, tested against your data, operated under SLA after launch.
Learn moreRetrieval and knowledge systems
Your documents, data, and expertise, made answerable. Grounded, auditable, and connected to the systems your team already uses.
Learn moreAI UX and product design
Interfaces people trust with real work. We design the product, not just the model behind it.
Learn moreWorkflow automation
Slow, manual processes turned into working automations: built around your operation, run and improved after launch.

We ship it in weeks, at a price committed before we start.
How our builds workA bigger initiative than your team can carry right now?
Start with a First Project: we scope one priority item at no charge and come back with a committed price and date for its first milestone.
Accelerate your roadmapA process that's too slow or too expensive?
Bring us the bottleneck: we determine how AI and software can solve it, then build and run the fix in your operation.
Automate business processesYou're in good company.
"Chrono became part of our team. They didn't just build what we asked for, they helped us figure out what to build."
"They embedded with our team and treated our problems like their own. That's rare."
"Strong technically and genuinely invested in the outcome. They're not just checking boxes."
"Delivered on time, communicated constantly, and cared about the work. Exactly what we needed."

AI has changed the economics of software, but tools alone don't make a team faster. We spent years rebuilding our own development practice around AI, so you skip the trial and error and get the payoff from day one.
Faster, at a fixed price.
AI does much of the coding, and senior engineers approve every change before it ships. That's how we commit to a fixed price and ship in weeks.
Platform and expertise, not headcount.
You get more than developers: our workflows, tooling and engineering expertise work as one delivery system, so you ship more.
You don't need a spec.
You don't need to know what to build. Bring the problem you want to improve; we determine the solution, scope it, build it, and evolve it.
You don't have to fund it alone.
Grants and tax credits cover a real share of innovation. We find what fits your project and do the paperwork while we build.
Where a grant program fits what you're building, we flag it early and help you line up the application, so the funding lands alongside the project instead of after it.
Ask us about grantsWhile we build, Chrono documents your eligible work for SR&ED (Scientific Research and Experimental Development) tax credits, audit-ready, without the year-end scramble.
How it worksCommon questions
What does Chrono do?
Chrono is a software development firm with AI expertise, based in Montreal. We build custom software, AI agents and automations, ship them to production and run them after launch.
How much does custom software cost at Chrono?
Fixed-price projects start at $9,000 CAD. Scoping is free, and you get a fixed price and date before any work starts.
How is this different from building it myself with AI tools?
AI app builders are great for testing an idea. We take software to production: real users, security, integrations with your systems, and support after launch. Senior engineers approve every change.
Who owns the code?
You do. Code, IP, data and repository are yours from day one.
Can grants or tax credits cover part of the cost?
Often, yes. We flag grant programs that fit your project and document eligible work for SR&ED tax credits while we build.
If it's worth solving, it's worth building.
