AI Implementation & Automation
Cut repetitive work and simplify complex processes.
We design and set up AI-powered workflows that connect your existing tools, information and processes.
Learn moreFrom AI potential to practical solutions.
We help organisations put artificial intelligence to work on real problems.
Most organisations can see that AI is changing what’s possible. Knowing where to start, and how to turn it into something your team will use, is harder. Base6 finds the opportunities, builds the solutions and fits them into the way you already work, from automating repetitive tasks to developing custom AI applications.
The opportunity - AI is changing how work gets done. The hard part is making it work for you.
There’s no shortage of demos, predictions and new tools. What most organisations lack is a clear view of where AI fits in their own work. That starts with practical questions:
- Where could AI save your team time?
- Which tasks can be automated?
- How could your existing knowledge be easier to find and use?
- Which opportunities are worth the investment, and which aren’t?
Base6 works in the gap between what’s technically possible and what’s useful day to day. We don’t stop at a strategy or a software recommendation. We design, build and integrate working solutions, and help your team adopt them.
What we do - Practical AI, from a single workflow to a full platform.
We help organisations put AI to work through five related services.
Custom AI Applications
For when an off-the-shelf tool isn’t enough.
We build applications, assistants and software around your organisation’s specific needs.
Learn moreAI Knowledge & Research Systems
Your organisation knows more than any one person can remember.
We build knowledge systems that make your documents, research, data and expertise easier to find and use.
Learn moreAI Strategy & Adoption
Not sure where to begin?
We help you find the high-value opportunities, weigh the risks, set priorities and build a practical roadmap.
Learn moreDigital Platforms & Networks
Technology that connects people, knowledge and opportunity.
We build platforms that help organisations collaborate, share expertise and extend their reach.

AI Implementation Sprint
One clearly defined problem, turned into a working AI solution in about two weeks.
How it worksAI Implementation Sprint - One problem. Two weeks. A working solution.
You don’t need a six-month strategy project to get value from AI. The sprint takes one clearly defined problem in your organisation and turns it into a working AI solution.
- Starting price
- From CAD $5,000
- Typical timeframe
- Two weeks
Discover
We work with you to understand the problem and where AI could help.
Design
We define the solution, agree on success criteria and identify the systems involved.
Build
We configure, develop and integrate the solution using proven AI tools.
Launch
We test it, document how it works and help your team start using it.
At the end, your team has a working tool in use, and documentation for how it works.
Scope and timing are confirmed after an initial assessment. Complex integrations, extensive data preparation and ongoing software costs may need a separate engagement.
Examples - What your team could do with less busywork.
Every organisation is different, but many face the same problems.
- Proposals take days to prepare. An AI assistant searches past proposals, pulls out relevant experience and produces a structured first draft for your team to refine.
- Information is scattered across hundreds of documents. A secure knowledge assistant helps staff find answers, compare sources and locate supporting evidence.
- Administrative work is repetitive. Connected workflows classify information, draft communications, update records and prepare summaries, with people reviewing the steps that need it.
- Research takes hours to synthesise. Research tools organise evidence, surface patterns and produce structured summaries with references you can check.
- Your software doesn’t talk to itself. Integrations connect the applications you already use, cutting duplicate data entry and manual handoffs.
In each case your people stay in charge. The AI takes on the busywork around them.
Why Base6 - We build with the technology we advise on.
Understanding AI in theory is different from making it work inside a real organisation. Base6 combines hands-on software engineering with years of work across business, government, nonprofits and collaborative networks.
Good technology depends on people, processes, information and incentives as much as on code.
- Built on experience. Our work includes digital platforms that combine AI, knowledge management, collaboration and community engagement.
- Vendor-neutral. We recommend what fits your needs, not a preferred vendor or a fixed technology stack.
- Start small. We aim to show value early, learn quickly and build on what works.
- Responsible by design. Privacy, security, reliability, accessibility and human oversight are part of how we build from the start.
- Alongside your team. We work with your people so they understand what we build, adopt it, and can improve it.
Our work - Platforms we’ve built, and the problems behind them.
Our experience covers AI-enabled knowledge platforms, professional networks, software development, and projects on hard environmental and social problems.
CanAdapt
Connecting knowledge, people and action
An AI-enabled platform that supports climate adaptation practitioners with professional networks, knowledge discovery, training and collaboration.
EarthNet
Technology for collective action
A digital platform initiative that explored how intelligent software and connected networks could speed up progress on complex social and environmental problems.
Youth Climate Corps
Building capacity for climate action
Strategy, digital and network support for an initiative that connects young people with climate action.
Who we work with - For organisations ready to try a better way of working.
You don’t need a technology department or a finished AI strategy. You need a problem worth solving and a willingness to try something new.
- Consulting and professional services firms. Improving productivity, knowledge management and client delivery.
- Nonprofits and mission-driven organisations. Extending their impact without a matching rise in administration.
- Professional associations and networks. Making expertise, learning and member services easier to reach.
- Research and educational institutions. Better tools for managing, sharing and applying knowledge.
- Public-sector organisations. Secure, responsible ways to modernise workflows and services.
