Artificial intelligence at the heart of your organization
Thanks to an Apple Mac Mini functioning as a small local AI server, Intellifix brings artificial intelligence. Unlike cloud solutions, everything happens internally: your sensitive data never leaves your offices, ensuring maximum confidentiality. For non-profit organizations (NPOs) in Quebec, this means being able to harness the power of AI without compromising information security.
Why a local AI?
First, for privacy. With a local AI like Intellifix, you no longer have to worry about sharing your data online. For example, large companies have experienced leaks while using online AI tools: Samsung had to ban ChatGPT after sensitive internal data was accidentally exposed on the cloud. techcrunch.com For a non-profit organization managing information about donors, members, or beneficiaries, avoiding this type of risk is essential. Intellifix operates offline and ensures that confidential information (member lists, files, etc.) remains 100% private on your local Mac Mini.
Next, local AI goes hand in hand with technological accessibility and cost control. No need for supercomputers or expensive monthly subscriptions: a simple Mac Mini is enough. This solution is affordable – the small Apple hardware consumes little energy while providing sufficient power for advanced AI models. Intellifix relies on open technologies like Ollama (local AI engine) and OpenWebUI (user-friendly web interface), which avoids costly software licenses. Even better, the solution is scalable thanks to the Exo project: your use cases can evolve, new features can be added, or you can integrate your own data over time. In short, Intellifix grows with you without hidden costs.
Concrete time and efficiency gains
A local AI can handle many time-consuming tasks to free up your employees and volunteers. Here are a few examples:
- Instant answers to common questions: Intellifix can serve as a virtual assistant to respond to frequently asked questions from members or the public (hours, services offered, procedures), without constantly mobilizing your team.
- Writing and translation assistance: Generation of email drafts, reports, or publications in just a few seconds, in impeccable French, saving valuable time.
- Training and knowledge transfer: Your new recruits can query the AI to understand your processes or obtain information about the history of the NPO, speeding up their integration.
- Automation of administrative tasks: Searching for information in your internal documents, compiling data, creating summaries – all micro-tasks where AI excels, saving you hours each week.
All these improvements result in savings of time and resources. Did you know that, according to McKinsey, an employee spends an average of 1.8 hours per day searching for information within the organization? That's nearly a day per week lost in searching rather than in action.proprofskb.com
By equipping your NPO with a virtual assistant like Intellifix, this waste of time melts away: the information you need is available instantly, productivity soars, and your employees can fully dedicate themselves to their mission.
A financial boost is available to bring this project to life. The IRIA program (Artificial Intelligence Recovery Initiative), supported by the Government of Canada, offers grants to organizations that adopt AI solutions. However, this grant is reserved for large-scale initiatives of $50,000 or more. For more modest projects - such as a typical Intellifix implementation costing around $13,000 to $15,000 - other funding options are often more suitable.
To illustrate, let's look at the case of Durpro Ltd. This Quebec-based company recently adopted a local AI solution similar to Intellifix to improve internal knowledge transfer. Previously, when their employees lacked technical knowledge for any need, they had to refer to veteran team members, which made the integration of new employees difficult. Durpro therefore installed an internal AI modeled on its most knowledgeable employees in the field of water treatment. After a few hours of work adjusting the agent's basic instructions, the AI was already able to provide excellent answers to questions posed by employees. As a result: new employees can ask any technical question to the AI (via a simple interface) and receive an immediate answer based on the company's knowledge. Expertise is preserved, accessible 24/7, and training for recruits is much faster and less costly. What was a challenge yesterday (how to transfer 45 years of tacit knowledge?) has today become an asset, thanks to local AI.
In conclusion, AI is no longer a luxury reserved for tech giants. With Intellifix, Quebec's NPOs can also benefit from advancements in artificial intelligence to save time, save money, and protect their data. All of this in French, locally, and with tailored support. By taking advantage of programs like IRIA, your NPO can take the leap into innovation without jeopardizing its budget. 💡 What if the next success was yours? Don't miss this opportunity to revolutionize your daily operations: Intellifix is waiting for you to write the future of your mission together, more efficiently and impactfully than ever.
