In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, from OpenAI's dominance to Deepseek's recent breakthrough, I've been asking myself: Why not Saskatchewan? This question led me to establish SKAIA (Saskatchewan's AI Advantage), and I'm convinced our province has unique advantages waiting to be unleashed. The Platform Revolution That Left Us BehindWe've all witnessed the technological and media revolutions that shaped our world. Remember when platform businesses and mobile apps transformed cities globally? Saskatchewan largely watched from the sidelines, eventually becoming dependent on these external platforms. We've become a city paying commissions to Uber and others, rather[...]

During my recent marketing consultation for Mettra Pharmacy, I discovered something striking - 27% of local residents face challenges with detailed medical consultations in English. This resonated with me personally, as I've often found myself reaching for translation tools when encountering medical terminology. This week marks an exciting milestone as Mettra Pharmacy implements my newly developed AI real-time translation application. What sets this apart from conventional translation apps is its business-centric approach. I've installed dedicated devices in the pharmacy, enabling immediate translation services without any setup delays. The dual-device system synchronizes between the pharmacist and[...]

Over the past six months, I've found myself deep in the trenches of AI development - not because it's trendy, but because it's necessary. From fine-tuning LLM models to implementing computer vision and launching image generation services, each step has been a revelation. Now, I'm nearing completion of a real-time interpretation service app for medical use.This isn't just about technology; it's about professions. A recent marketing analysis for a local pharmacy revealed something - 26% of residents weren't native English speakers in a small town in Saskatoon. Think about that. In healthcare, where clear[...]

I always start by checking out industry trends, recent design patterns, and looking for good references. Only after I've gathered all this research and let my creative inspiration kick in do I actually start drawing from scratch. It's become quite a routine for me, but I'll be honest - it can be pretty challenging at times. Even experienced designers go through lots of trial and error. The really cool thing about this 'Mockup Designs in Moments' is how they show you your design concepts based on references. Sure, some people might want to use these[...]

I'm a big believer in planning before I start any project, and that includes building apps. The way you map out your app can really impact its performance and scale. So, I've been brainstorming AI Agent businesses lately, and I thought it would be helpful for me, and maybe others, to create an AI app that can help with the planning process. Basically, you just describe the AI Agent you want to build. The more specific you are, the better the results will be. Then, after a little wait, you'll get a complete blueprint of[...]

Oh wow, they're talking about me on the podcast today! haha~ 🤣
