Where is AI in your business?
Your employees are already using AI. This finds out where, with what, and what it would cost you.
This is an interview, not a quiz. It learns your business first, then asks about your estimator, your front desk, your managers — not “employees” in the abstract. What comes back is an estimate built on your answers: where AI is likely in use, where it meets your information, and what to do first.
- The questions change based on what your company does. A dental practice and a construction company do not get the same interview.
- Your exposure estimate is free: a score, findings, an exposure map of where AI meets your information, and the first three things to do. No sales call.
- The Reality Gap Report is what your employees know. It finds which AI tools your team really uses, what company and customer information has gone into them, and how many people have never been told the rules — then checks every answer you gave against theirs. $149 CAD, refunded in full if too few of your team answer.
Built for Canadian employers. Canadian edition. “I don’t know” is an acceptable answer to every question.

What Ottawa, the provinces and the courts have already said about AI at work.
Canada has no AI law of its own yet, but privacy law, provincial employment law and the courts already apply to how a business uses AI. These are the ones an employer in Canada should know. The summaries are ours; the originals are one click away.
From Ottawa
There is no federal AI law. The federal privacy law is being rewritten, and the privacy regulators have said how today's law applies to AI.
Parliament of Canada
Government of Canada
Bill C-36 (45th Parliament, 1st session)
Introduced June 15, 2026 · before ParliamentThe Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act, to replace PIPEDA's privacy rules
Would replace the privacy part of PIPEDA, the federal private-sector privacy law, and give people a right to an explanation of an automated prediction, recommendation or decision with a legal or similarly significant effect on them. It does not regulate AI on its own; the earlier federal AI bill died in January 2025. It is a bill, not yet law.

Canada's privacy regulators set out how existing privacy law applies to organizations that use generative AI: have legal authority for the personal information that goes in, be open about it, protect it, and limit sharing personal, sensitive or confidential information with these tools.
