Lifesaver Technology Services Inc. is a custom software company headquartered at 101-1865 Dilworth Drive, Kelowna, BC V1Y 9T1, Canada. The company was founded in 2023 by Lindsey Stead and incorporated in British Columbia, Canada in 2026. Lindsey is the founder, CEO, and lead software developer. Before Lifesaver she worked in healthcare at Kelowna General Hospital and in cognitive research at UBC — backgrounds that shape the company's emphasis on reliability, ethics, and documentation discipline from day one. Lifesaver builds production software systems — not AI-hype demos — for businesses across Canada. Active client markets include the Okanagan (Kelowna, West Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton, Kamloops), BC Lower Mainland and Island (Vancouver, Victoria, Surrey, Burnaby, Nanaimo), Alberta (Calgary, Edmonton, Airdrie), and Ontario (Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton, Ottawa). All work is delivered remotely; on-site discovery is available in the Okanagan. **Contact:** info@lifesavertech.ca · (778) 401-6551 · https://www.lifesavertech.ca/contact **Book a free 15-min discovery call:** https://www.lifesavertech.ca/book ## Engagement model (how clients work with us) - **Discovery call** — free, 15 minutes, video, no obligation. - **Written scope** — fixed-price quote against a written deliverable list. - **Non-refundable deposit** to kick off; remaining balance is milestone-billed. - **Client ownership** — for custom builds, the client owns the code, the data, and the IP.

Sean answers around the clock with natural speech, books appointments, qualifies leads, sends SMS follow-ups, and hands off to you when needed. Not a generic SaaS box — a voice agent configured for your business. Need a chatbot on your website too? We can add an AI chat agent that works alongside Sean to capture leads across channels. We build it, run it, and keep it tuned — you own your call data, recordings, and scripts, and there's no long-term contract. **Canonical page:** https://www.lifesavertech.ca/services/ai-voice-agents **Top questions:** Q: How much does an AI voice agent cost in Canada? A: AI voice receptionists start at $297/month. The exact configuration — call volume, integrations, after-hours vs. full coverage — is scoped and quoted after a short discovery call. Q: Can the AI voice agent book appointments into my calendar? A: Yes. We integrate with Google Calendar, Outlook, Calendly, Acuity, and most scheduling systems. The agent checks availability in real-time and books directly. Q: Does it sound robotic? A: Modern voice models sound far more natural than traditional IVR systems. We tune prompts, call flows, and fallback behavior so the experience feels clear, helpful, and on-brand for your business. --- ### Workflow Automation **Starting price:** $500–$15,000 **What it is:** We build workflow automation that fits what you need — from a single workflow to full department-wide systems. Using n8n, Zapier, or Make, we connect your tools and eliminate manual work at any scale. Custom-quoted based on scope. AI-powered steps, knowledge systems, and intelligent routing included when they add value. You own the automations we build for you — and when they run on your own n8n instance, there are no per-task fees and no lock-in. **Canonical page:** https://www.lifesavertech.ca/services/workflow-automation **Top questions:** Q: How much does workflow automation cost? A: Workflow automation is custom-quoted based on scope — the number of workflows, integrations, and AI-powered steps involved. Book a free discovery call and we’ll give you a fixed quote after reviewing your setup. Q: What is n8n and why do you use it? A: n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform. Unlike Zapier or Make, n8n can be self-hosted in Canada, has no per-task pricing, and supports complex logic with branching, loops, and custom code. We also use Zapier and Make when they are a better fit for the job. Q: Can you automate tasks across different software? A: Yes. We connect to 400+ apps out of the box, plus any tool that supports connections. We regularly integrate CRMs, accounting software, email platforms, databases, and custom internal tools. --- ### Custom Software, Websites & Apps **Starting price:** $4,500–$80,000 **What it is:** From a website refresh to a full SaaS platform — we build it all. Websites, web apps, mobile apps, internal tools, client portals, dashboards, databases, API integrations — custom-quoted after a discovery call. Modern stack, search-optimized, responsive, and designed to convert. One software team for everything digital. **Canonical page:** https://www.lifesavertech.ca/services/custom-software-development **Top questions:** Q: How much does a website cost? A: Custom-quoted after discovery. Pricing depends on scope, integrations, CMS needs, and design complexity. Book a free discovery call and we'll provide a fixed quote within a few business days.

Book a free discovery call and we’ll provide a fixed quote after reviewing your requirements. Q: How much does custom software cost in Canada? A: Custom software pricing depends on scope, architecture, and integrations. Book a free discovery call and we’ll provide a fixed quote after reviewing your requirements. --- ### AI Consulting **Starting price:** $2,500–$15,000 **What it is:** Practical AI consulting for Canadian businesses figuring out what's worth automating, what isn't, and what to build first. We map your current workflows, score automation opportunities by ROI, and deliver a written roadmap you can act on — with or without us. Plain language, no AI hype, no vague 'transformation' promises. Built for owners and operators who want a clear answer to 'where should we start?'. **Canonical page:** https://www.lifesavertech.ca/services/ai-consulting **Top questions:** Q: How much does AI consulting cost in Canada? A: AI consulting engagements start at $2,500 for a focused readiness audit and range up to $15,000 for a full multi-week roadmap with team workshops. Half-day strategy workshops start at $1,500. Every engagement is fixed-price against a defined scope. Q: What's the difference between AI consulting and just hiring you to build something? A: Consulting answers 'what should we do?' — implementation answers 'now do it.' Many clients start with consulting because they're not yet sure what's worth building. The roadmap we produce is vendor-neutral; you can hire us, hire someone else, or build in-house. Q: Do you work with businesses that have no technical staff? A: Yes. Most of our consulting clients have no in-house engineering team. Our deliverables are written in plain language with clear cost ranges so you can make decisions without translating jargon first. --- ### AI Chatbots **Starting price:** $2,500–$25,000 **What it is:** Custom AI chatbots for your website, trained on your content — FAQs, product docs, service descriptions, pricing pages. Built to capture leads, answer real customer questions, qualify intent, and hand off to your team when needed. Not a generic ChatGPT-in-a-box widget — a chatbot that actually knows your business and routes leads to the right inbox. Pairs cleanly with our AI voice receptionist for full phone + web coverage. **Canonical page:** https://www.lifesavertech.ca/services/ai-chatbots **Top questions:** Q: How much does an AI chatbot cost in Canada? A: AI chatbots start at $2,500 for a focused lead-capture bot and range up to $25,000+ for complex multi-flow bots with deep document Q&A and CRM integration. Most small business chatbots land in the $4,000-$8,000 range. Q: Will it actually answer questions correctly, or hallucinate? A: We use retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) so the bot answers from YOUR content, not the LLM's general training data. When the bot doesn't know an answer, it says so and offers to route the conversation to your team — instead of making something up. Q: Can it work on my existing Squarespace, Webflow, or WordPress site? A: Yes. The bot installs as a single script tag on any website platform. No theme rebuild, no migration. Custom UI styling to match your brand is included. --- ### API Development & Integrations **Starting price:** $3,500–$40,000 **What it is:** Custom API development and integration work for Canadian businesses connecting tools that don't talk to each other out of the box. Whether you need a clean REST or GraphQL API for your platform, a one-off integration between two SaaS tools, or a full API gateway with auth and rate limiting — we build it cleanly, document it, and hand it over for your team to maintain. No lock-in, no vendor middleware fees. **Canonical page:** https://www.lifesavertech.ca/services/api-development **Top questions:** Q: How much does API development cost in Canada? A: Custom APIs and integrations typically range from $3,500 for a single one-off integration to $40,000+ for a full multi-service API gateway. Most third-party integrations land in the $4,000-$12,000 range. Every project is fixed-price against the technical spec. Q: Do you build APIs from scratch or only integrate existing ones? A: Both. About half our API work is building new APIs for client platforms; the other half is connecting tools that already exist but don't talk natively. We're equally comfortable with greenfield work and inheriting messy existing systems. Q: Can you replace our Zapier or Make automation with proper code? A: Yes — this is one of the most common requests we get. Most no-code automations work great until volume scales or a vendor changes their API. We rewrite them as proper code (Node, Python, or n8n self-hosted) with better error handling and no per-task fees. ## Real shipped platforms (case studies) - **HelpBC** (https://www.lifesavertech.ca/portfolio/helpbc) — Multi-tenant community resource platform owned and operated by Lifesaver.
