Garud Labs

AI Development for EdTech businesses in Canada

What is AI Development in Canada?

We design and ship production AI systems, not just proof-of-concept demos. For EdTech companies in Canada, this means meeting FERPA requirements while maintaining UTC-3.5 to UTC-8-aligned delivery.

Who needs AI Development for EdTech?

  • Low course completion and engagement rates
  • Integrating video, assessments and certifications seamlessly
  • Scaling infrastructure during enrollment spikes
  • AI pilots that never reach production
  • Lack of in-house ML engineering talent
