Our Story

From Toronto Tech Enthusiasts to Canada's Premier AI Platform Analysts

AIInsight was founded in 2023 by a group of Canadian AI researchers, tech journalists, and industry analysts who recognized that businesses and organizations across Canada needed unbiased, in-depth analysis of the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence platform landscape.

Beginning as a small Toronto-based blog created by former tech journalists Michael Chen and Sarah Johnson, AIInsight quickly grew into Canada's most trusted source for comprehensive AI platform evaluations. Our team expanded to include AI engineers, data scientists, and regulatory experts from across the country, all committed to helping Canadian organizations make informed decisions about AI technology investments.

Today, we're proud to serve thousands of Canadian businesses, from Vancouver startups to Montreal enterprises, with our rigorous analysis and Canadian-focused perspective on the global AI revolution.

Our Mission

Why We Do What We Do

Our Values

At AIInsight, we are committed to independence, technical accuracy, and Canadian context. We never accept compensation for reviews or rankings, ensuring our analysis remains untainted by corporate influence. Our team's diverse technical expertise allows us to evaluate platforms on their true capabilities rather than marketing claims. And unlike global tech publications, we always consider the unique Canadian regulatory environment, data sovereignty concerns, and bilingual requirements that affect AI adoption in our country.

Our Impact

Since our founding, AIInsight has helped over 500 Canadian organizations make informed AI platform decisions, saving them collectively more than $75 million in potential misdirected technology investments. Our analysis has been cited by Canadian government agencies developing AI regulations, and our team members have testified before parliamentary committees on AI governance. We're proud that our work has accelerated responsible AI adoption across Canadian industries while promoting ethical, secure, and effective implementation.

Our Methodology

How We Evaluate AI Platforms

Technical Assessment

Each AI platform undergoes rigorous technical evaluation using our proprietary benchmarking suite across 47 different metrics. We test performance, scalability, reliability, and resource efficiency under various workloads typical of Canadian enterprise environments.

Regulatory Compliance

We evaluate each platform against Canadian data sovereignty requirements, PIPEDA compliance, accessibility standards, official languages support, and emerging AI regulations to ensure platforms meet the unique needs of Canadian organizations.

User Research

Our analysis incorporates feedback from over 200 Canadian organizations currently using these platforms, with detailed case studies and ROI assessments across different industries, company sizes, and geographic regions within Canada.
