Victoria, BC & Vancouver Island · AI Consulting & Training
AI consulting, hands-on training, and custom software for businesses in Victoria, BC and across Vancouver Island. Real tools your team builds, uses, and keeps.
What we do
01 / Training
Send your team in. We don't do slide decks and certificates. We run working sessions where your people learn AI by building, and leave with tools they can actually use.
Right for: Teams who want to learn by doing, not watching.
02 / Strategy
Not sure where AI fits in your business? We'll figure it out together. Plain-language strategy, honest assessments, and roadmaps you can act on. Not proposals designed to sell you the next engagement.
Right for: Business owners who want a real opinion.
03 / Build
When you need something built. We scope it, build it, and make sure it works. No bloated contracts, no offshore hand-offs. Just the right tool for the problem.
Right for: Specific problems that need a specific solution.
About
Island AI Lab is a small AI consultancy based in Victoria, BC, working with business owners and their teams across Vancouver Island. We work directly with them — not around them.
Our team brings 20+ years of hands-on technology experience across the full stack: cloud infrastructure, networking, security and compliance, databases, and front-end development. We've built and run real systems at scale, which means we know where AI fits in practice, not just in theory.
AI is moving fast and most of the advice out there is written for enterprise budgets and big-city timelines. We built this lab for Island businesses: practical, hands-on, and built around what you can actually use.
Our training isn't a webinar. Your team comes in, we work together, and they leave with something real: knowledge they can apply and tools they helped build.
From the lab
Lab Build / dotnotfound.com
Most domain searches end the same way: every good name is gone. We built a free tool that brainstorms naming directions with AI, then checks availability live as results stream in.
Lab Build / Site Scanner
A lot of small business sites are simple brochure pages running on hosting built for something much bigger. We built a free scanner that checks your site and tells you, plainly, whether you're overpaying.
