AI consultancy that builds working systems
Blue Canvas is an AI consultancy in Derry, Northern Ireland.

The first call is free and takes 15 minutes. A fixed-price AI audit costs £750.
Blue Canvas is an independent consultancy. Naming a tool here does not mean its maker endorses or partners with us.

AI audit
A structured look at how work moves through your business, which tasks are worth changing and what the risks are. You get a ranked, written plan for a fixed £750.
Built around real work
Build and automate
We build the workflows you approve across Microsoft 365 Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Codex and Power Automate, connect them to the tools you already use and test them with the people who will run them.
Connected to your existing tools
Training & adoption
Practical training for your team on the tools and workflows they will actually use, with clear rules for checking output and handling business data.
Skills that stay in-house
Managed AI
If you would rather not maintain the systems yourself, we monitor, fix and improve the agreed workflows each month. From £250 a month plus a one-off setup fee from £1,750.

No. You bring knowledge of the business and the process. We handle the technical work, explain the choices in plain English and train the people who will own the system.
We will say so. Sometimes a simpler automation or a clearer process is the better fix.
