You can talk it through
Automations go wrong when the builder doesn't understand the job. A real conversation with the person building it, during your working day, sorts that out faster than a support ticket ever will.
About
A Local AI Automation Builder for the GTA and Simcoe County
AI Automation Near Me is an Ontario-based business founded by Scott Holmes. We build automations for local businesses and explain them in plain English, so you always know what's running in your business and why.
Meet Scott Holmes
Scott Holmes is an Ontario-based AI automation builder and the founder of AI Automation Near Me. He builds n8n workflow automations, AI voice agents on Retell AI and Vapi, knowledge systems that answer questions from a business's own documents using Claude and Flowise, and AI agents built with the Claude API and MCP.
He has built AI systems for clients ranging from local trades businesses to technology companies. This business is for the first kind of client: owners who need the phone answered, quotes followed up and invoices chased, and who want to deal with the person doing the work.
When you book an audit, you talk to Scott. When your automation is built, Scott built it. When something needs changing, you know exactly who to ask.
📍 Ontario-based. Working with businesses across the GTA and Simcoe County.

Why does local matter for automation?
The software runs in the cloud. The hard part is understanding how your business actually works, and that goes better with someone nearby.
Same region, same hours
When something needs a fix on a Tuesday morning, you're dealing with someone who keeps your hours and knows the kinds of businesses that operate between Oakville and Orillia.
Canadian rules in mind
We design with PIPEDA in mind and set up texting with CASL in mind, because we build for Canadian businesses messaging Canadian customers.
