Montreal is one of the world's great AI research cities, home to Mila and a deep community of researchers and engineers. Yet many Quebec businesses still find it hard to turn that potential into everyday results. Startup Slang bridges the gap from our office at 1155 Metcalfe St, as an AI-first agency for marketing and development.
We help teams find the workflows worth automating, then design, build and support AI systems that work in English and French and connect to the tools you already use.

Bilingual AI done properly
Most AI tools are trained mostly on English. Quebec businesses need systems that understand Quebec French, respect terminology and switch languages naturally. We:
- Test assistants with real French and English questions from your customers
- Build bilingual knowledge bases so answers are consistent in both languages
- Add terminology lists and style guides so generated content sounds like your brand
- Keep people reviewing customer-facing French content until quality is proven
Law 25 and responsible AI
Quebec's Law 25 sets strict rules on personal information, including transparency about automated decisions. We build AI systems with privacy by design: data minimization, providers that do not train on your data, clear disclosure when customers are talking to an AI, logging and human review. We document each system so your privacy officer can assess it.
Work with Montreal and Canadian brands
Our Montreal roots show in projects like Polysleep, the award-winning Montreal mattress brand for which we designed and built Woolen Warfare, a branded king-of-the-hill game in Unreal Editor for Fortnite. For Capgemini, we used AI-supported research and content workflows to explain complex subjects clearly. And our trilingual Panasonic Prestige microsite shows how we handle multilingual experiences under tight deadlines.
Typical AI projects for Quebec teams
