We build what your best employee
would be — if they never slept.
Anova is a Montreal-based, founder-led AI agent studio. We build bilingual voice agents for professional service businesses that live by the phone.
Why Anova exists
Most businesses in Montreal are one unanswered call away from a client who chose someone else — not because the business isn’t excellent, but because excellent businesses are run by people who are already doing three things when the phone rings.
Anova was founded on a conviction: that AI now capable of conducting a real conversation — understanding intent, qualifying a lead, booking a meeting, switching from English to French mid-sentence — should be deployed with the same care a premium business brings to everything else. Not as a chatbot. Not as a menu. As a presence.
How we work
We are a founder-led studio, which means every engagement is treated as a design problem, not a software installation. Before a single line of logic is written, we map your business: how your best employee handles an inbound call, what makes a lead worth pursuing, what a client expects to hear in the first 10 seconds.
We integrate with your calendar and CRM, configure your language rules, test against your edge cases, and go live only when we’d be comfortable being the caller ourselves. After launch, we monitor, deliver post-call analysis, and optimize continuously. You get a quarterly review.
Montreal, built for Montreal
We are based in Montreal. Our team answers in English and French. We understand what it means to operate in a market where both languages carry cultural weight — and where getting the language wrong with a client is not a minor inconvenience, it is a relationship that does not start.
Quebec French is not French with a different flag. It has its own register, its own idioms, its own rhythm in a professional context. Anova agents are trained on it specifically. That is not a feature — it is the minimum standard for operating in this city.
We work with a limited number of clients.
This is intentional.
A front-desk agent that represents your business is not something we build in volume. It is something we build right. If you are looking for a plugin, there are many. If you are looking for something that elevates your business every time your phone rings, that is what we do.
