AI automation and custom software for Lacombe businesses.
Built in Camrose, Alberta by the person who writes the code. Fixed scope, fixed price, and you own what gets built.
Why a Lacombe business, specifically.
Lacombe sits on the Calgary–Edmonton corridor with agriculture, agri-food research history, Burman University, and a well-kept historic downtown carrying independent retail and professional services. The professional services side — accounting, legal, insurance, consulting — has a document and intake problem that automation handles well.
Professional service firms burn hours on the same three things: collecting information from clients, chasing the clients who haven't sent it, and retyping what did arrive into another system. None of that is billable and all of it is automatable.
About an hour and a bit from our central Alberta base. NeonSky AI is run by David Holoboff out of central Alberta. Most clients are within a couple of hours' drive, which means the same time zone, a phone number a person answers, and the option of meeting face to face rather than over a support ticket. NeonSky also runs turnkey AI lunch and learns for business groups in Lacombe, which is a fair test of whether we know this area or just bought a domain that says we do.
An accountant sends the same intake checklist to sixty clients each season, then spends February chasing the twenty who didn't reply, then keys the returned data in by hand. Three separate jobs, all of which a form plus a reminder sequence plus an integration removes.
What we build for Lacombe businesses.
AI strategy that starts with your numbers
A short, honest assessment of where the hours and the money actually go, and which of those are worth automating. Some aren't. You get told which.
Custom software
Purpose-built tools for the workflow you actually run, rather than bending your business around software designed for someone else's. Database to deploy, written in-house.
Workflow automation
Intake, follow-up, scheduling, reminders, reporting and the copying between systems that eats someone's week. Built once, runs unattended.
Websites that do real work
Not brochures. Sites built to be found in search and by AI assistants, with calculators, intake and admin areas behind them that turn a visitor into a tracked enquiry.
Team training
Practical, jargon-free AI training for owners and staff, delivered in person. Alberta's training grant may cover up to half the cost, and we handle the paperwork.
Work we've actually shipped.
Real builds for real operators, most of them within driving distance of Lacombe.
Camrose, Killam and Flagstaff County
UAV AG
Agricultural drone services with a season measured in weeks. We built uavag.com from scratch, then added live equipment inventory, an admin area where Jason manages enquiries himself, rebate and fertilizer-saving calculators that turn browsers into leads, and an automatic tender watcher.
Alberta
UAV Imaging
Drone imaging and inspection work, running a recurring content and reporting pipeline that publishes and invoices on a schedule instead of on someone's memory.
Alberta and British Columbia
Goat Coffee
A multi-location coffee company with a customer loyalty app shipped on both the App Store and Google Play, plus the staff and admin tooling behind it.
central Alberta
Harmony Farmstand
A working farm stand with a site that its owner updates herself, built so seasonal product and hours changes don't require a developer.
Also delivered, for clients who prefer not to be named:
- A Calgary realtor — Lead capture and follow-up automation.
- A Colorado M&A firm — Deal-flow and document workflow tooling.
- A California realtor and investor group — Custom CRM and pipeline systems built around how they actually work.
How it works.
1. Discovery call
Fifteen minutes, no commitment. We find out what's actually costing you time or revenue, and whether it's something worth building.
2. Scoped proposal
Within 48 hours if it's a fit: fixed scope, fixed price, what's included and what isn't. No hourly surprises.
3. Build
You get progress you can see, not a black box. Changes get made while it's being built rather than after it ships.
4. Handover and support
You own the code and the credentials. Training on how it works, and a real person to call when something needs changing.
Lacombe questions, answered.
Do you actually work with businesses in Lacombe?
Yes. NeonSky AI works out of central Alberta and most clients are within a couple of hours' drive. About an hour and a bit from our central Alberta base. You get a local phone number, a local time zone, and the option to meet in person.
What does a custom build cost a Lacombe business?
It depends entirely on scope, which is why every project starts with a fifteen-minute discovery call and a fixed-price scoped proposal within 48 hours if it's a fit. Small automations start well below the cost of a part-time hire. You'll never get an open-ended hourly estimate.
How long does a project take?
Most small automation builds run two to four weeks. Full custom applications run longer and get broken into phases so you see working software early rather than at the end.
Who owns what gets built?
You do — the code, the data and the credentials. There is no arrangement where switching providers means losing your system.
Do we need to already use AI tools?
No, and plenty of the highest-return work isn't AI at all. A form that populates your real system, or a reminder that sends itself, often beats anything clever. AI gets used where it genuinely wins, not to justify an invoice.
We're a small professional firm, not a tech company. Does this apply?
It applies especially. The highest-return automations are almost never clever AI — they're intake forms that populate a real system, reminder sequences that chase for you, and reports that build themselves.
Do you run training sessions in Lacombe?
Yes. NeonSky runs turnkey AI lunch and learns for Chambers of Commerce and business groups in Lacombe and across central Alberta — about an hour, plain language, no cost or low cost to members. Members who want the full course may have up to half the cost covered by Alberta's training grant.
