AI Consulting GTA — AI Training, Consulting and AI Security
Hero is an AI training, AI consulting, and AI security company based in Toronto and working across the Greater Toronto Area: Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, and Oakville. In-person sessions are by appointment across the GTA. The same work is available on video anywhere in Canada.
Close to home. Across Canada.
Who this is for
- Teams of roughly 5–100 staff in offices, professional services, operations, clinics, and non-profits
- Leaders who know staff are already using AI and want it done well and safely
- Businesses that want posted prices and a written plan, not a long discovery phase
- Owners who want an independent view before buying AI tools
Signs you are ready for help
- AI features are switched on in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, and few people use them
- Some staff use personal AI accounts for work, and nobody has said what is allowed
- Vendors keep pitching AI products and you cannot tell what is worth doing
- A few enthusiasts have their own habits that nobody else can follow
What good looks like
- One approved AI tool, not five personal accounts
- People trained on their own tasks, including how to check an answer
- A written plan that says what to do first, what to skip, and who owns it
- A plain-language AI use policy staff can actually follow
- A person always reviews anything that goes to a customer
Three services: AI training, AI consulting, AI security
| Service | You leave with | Best when | Posted price (CAD, before tax) |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI training | Skills and safe habits on the tools you already pay for | You want people using AI well, this month | Free AI Hour (when scheduled) · C$297 workshop · C$497 live course · C$2,500 / C$4,500 team training |
| AI consulting | A written 90-day plan: what to do, what to skip, who owns it | You need priorities before you spend on tools | Free fit call · C$1,500 (up to 20 staff) · C$3,500 (20–100 staff) |
| AI security | Security training, an AI security assessment, and a written AI use policy | Staff already use AI and nobody has set the rules | Training at posted prices · assessment C$1,500 / C$3,500 · policy quoted after the assessment |
When you're ready, we can help put the plan in place. That follow-on help is only for clients who have completed an assessment, and it is scoped from the written plan.
AI training
| Format | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Free AI Hour | A live hour on using AI at work, with one safe task to try. A date is posted on the AI Hour page when one is scheduled. | Free |
| Workshop | About three hours, hands-on, small group. One complete task practised from first draft to checked result. | C$297 / person |
| Course | A live founding group (not an on-demand video library). Includes 3 months in the member group. | C$497 |
| Team training | Private training for your team, on site in the GTA or online, built around your own tasks with sensitive details swapped for fictional ones. | C$2,500 half day · C$4,500 full day |
AI consulting
| Step | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Free fit call | 30 minutes. Is an assessment the right size? What would we look at? | Free |
| AI consulting assessment | Leadership interviews, a short staff survey, a review of the tools you already pay for, and a written 90-day plan: where AI is worth using, what to leave alone, what information stays out, and who owns each step. | C$1,500 (up to 20 staff) · C$3,500 (20–100 staff) |
AI security
| Step | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| AI security training | What a work account is for, what never gets pasted in, how to check an answer, and how to spot a manipulated document or prompt. | Posted training prices |
| AI security assessment | Which AI tools are in use, under whose accounts, what data goes in, who has access, and a ranked list of what to fix first. | C$1,500 (up to 20 staff) · C$3,500 (20–100 staff) |
| AI use policy | A plain-language policy, approved-tool list, and data rules based on what the assessment found. | Quoted after the assessment |
This is a practical assessment. It is not a certification, a formal compliance report, or legal advice. If you need one of those, we will say so and point you to the right kind of specialist.
How to choose your first step
| Situation | First step |
|---|---|
| The team has never used AI on real work | AI training — a workshop seat or a private team day |
| Leadership wants priorities before spending | AI consulting — an assessment and a written 90-day plan |
| Staff already use AI with client or employee data | AI security — an assessment, training, and a written policy |
| Not sure | A free fit call |
Three GTA examples (illustrative scenarios, not client results)
- Toronto professional firm — An AI security assessment, half-day security training, and a written AI use policy move staff off personal accounts and onto one approved tool.
- Mississauga regional office — Team training across departments, with the same data rules for everyone and a 30-day follow-up list for managers.
- Vaughan leadership team — An AI consulting assessment compares vendor pitches against how the business actually works and produces a ranked plan.
How we keep claims honest
- No client logos, testimonials, star ratings, or awards until they are real and the client agrees
- Example scenarios are labelled as illustrative composites, not client results
- Estimates are labelled as estimates; we measure with you before quoting any saving
- People stay responsible for decisions, advice, and anything a customer sees
FAQ — AI consulting in the GTA
Where do you meet?
In person by appointment across the GTA, and on video anywhere in Canada. Hero has a mailing address in Toronto, not a storefront.
How much does it cost?
Workshop C$297 per person; team training C$2,500 / C$4,500; AI consulting assessment C$1,500 / C$3,500; AI security assessment at the same tiers. CAD, before tax.
Can we start with training only?
Yes. Training stands on its own.
Do you implement AI systems?
Implementation is not a headline service. When you're ready, we can help put your written plan in place, but only for clients who have completed an assessment.
What should we bring to the free fit call?
A rough headcount, the AI tools you already pay for, and one thing you want to change.
