About Artificial Intelligence in Canada
Artificial intelligence covers a wide span of work: foundation and language models, generative systems, computer vision, speech and translation, forecasting and optimisation, and the agent platforms built on top of them. The companies listed here are ones where a model is the product or the core of it, rather than a feature added to something else.
Applied AI is the larger share of the sector — models trained for a specific industry and sold into it, from legal drafting and customer service to mining, agriculture, manufacturing inspection and clinical workflows. The regional breakdown below shows where the companies in this directory actually sit.
How this list is built
Every AI record here is hand-checked, and the 445 claims across them each link to a page you can open. Where a figure is not published, the field is left blank rather than estimated.
