AI systems for the real world · Toronto

AI that understands
and acts on the real world.

Dojito builds intelligent systems that connect AI, software, data, devices and people — so what happens in an office, a store or a home is understood, decided on and acted upon, automatically.

Eight systems are running in the field right now.

How a Dojito system works

Not a chatbot.
A loop that runs.

Most “AI” answers a question and stops. Our systems watch a real environment, work out what it means, choose what to do, do it through the tools you already use, and check the result.

  1. 01 · Observe

    What is happening

    Sensors, cameras, bookings, the POS, documents, email, calendars. Signals from the real environment, not a prompt box.

  2. 02 · Understand

    What it means

    Models read, classify, extract and compare against rules and history. A late arrival, a low shelf, an unpaid bill, a quote that doesn’t exist.

  3. 03 · Decide

    What to do

    Choose an action within limits you set. Spend caps, hours, who to notify. When the system isn’t sure, it asks a person instead of guessing.

  4. 04 · Act

    Do it

    Call the visitor, send the text, book the slot, place the order, update the sheet, switch the device. Through the tools you already own.

  5. 05 · Verify

    Did it work

    Check the outcome against the source, log it, and keep the exceptions. Quotes are matched to originals; totals are reconciled; alerts are confirmed.

AI for Home · Prototype, in development

An AI operating layer
for everyday life.

Your home has thousands of small decisions. What needs to be used up? What should be bought? What did we spend? What bills are coming? What is running right now? Dojito connects these signals into one system that understands the state of the household and coordinates across domains — not a pile of isolated smart devices.

AI daily briefing

Good morning. Use the chicken thighs tonight — they expire today; a recipe with the spinach is in your notes. Hydro, $92, is due Thursday and the balance covers it. The bedroom window has been open for three hours at 48% humidity, so the dehumidifier can switch off. Milk runs out Friday; it is on Saturday’s list. Spending is 26% under budget this week. Nothing unusual overnight.

Built on parts already in production

The briefing pipeline (29,777 articles read and verified), sensor monitoring and alerts, document reading for receipts and invoices, and the decision loop above — the same engine that runs our business systems.

Being built now, for the home

Food inventory and expiry tracking, grocery planning from inventory, household purchasing within a budget, bills and subscriptions, and device and energy coordination in one state model.

Not claimed

Fully autonomous spending, recognizing food from cameras, or controlling every device brand. Where the system isn’t sure, it asks. We will say when each piece is real.

AI for Business

Systems for organizations,
built on what you already run.

Operations, documents, inventory, reporting, customer workflows, IoT. We connect the right model to your existing POS, cameras, phones and sheets — and the system acts, not just answers.

Customer workflows · AI agents

An assistant that answers from your own info — and books

On your website, SMS or messenger. It answers hours, bookings, menus and FAQs from your documents only, links its source, takes the booking, and hands off to you when unsure.

Pay only when it answers
Operations

Real-time calling and waiting screens

A TV shows the queue; a natural voice calls each guest by name in their language; no-shows and late arrivals are handled automatically. Works with the TV and tablets you already own.

No dedicated hardware
Document intelligence

Paper in, system updated

Receipts, invoices, business cards, forms. Snap a photo and the numbers land in your sheet, inventory or accounting, checked against totals before they are written.

Cents per document
IoT & physical systems

Cameras and sensors that understand what they see

Count visitors by hour, spot an empty shelf, a freezer warming up, a fall or a door left open — and alert the right person instantly. Uses your existing cameras and sensors.

Existing CCTV, one small PC
Operations · communications

Calls and meetings, written down and followed up

Voice becomes text, then a short summary with to-dos that land in your task list. Works in English, Korean, French and more, so nothing gets lost after a call.

≈ $0.01 per minute
Data & internal tools

Your numbers, explained and acted on every week

We connect your POS, bookings and sheets, draw the charts that matter, and email a plain-language report on schedule — with the next steps already drafted. Ask a question, get a chart.

Work

Running in the field,
right now

Each system, read the same way: the problem, what we built, where the AI decides, what it actually does, and what changed. Screens are recreated from production; client details are masked.

Operations · public front office

A waiting screen that calls
you by name

Problem
Visitors waited without knowing when they would be called. Staff called names by voice; late arrivals and no-shows blocked counters.
System
A per-counter board synced with the booking system every 60 seconds, a waiting-room TV, a staff console and QR check-in.
Intelligence
Reads the live booking state, detects late arrivals and no-shows, and pronounces each name correctly in Korean or English.
Action
Calls the visitor on the TV and by voice, advances the queue, frees the counter, records wait and service time.
Result
2,859 appointments and 8,919 counter events handled; waiting and service times measured for the first time.

Phone lines tied up all day with “are you open”, “can I book”, “what do I bring”.
System
Online booking with live remaining-slot calculation, holiday and cut-off rules, confirmation texts and QR codes, lookup and cancel; an AI assistant on the site. Booking engine, database and backend built by us.
Intelligence
The assistant answers only from 242 official pages and links its source on every reply; when unsure, it hands off to a person.
Action
Books the visit, sends the confirmation, issues the QR code, reschedules and cancels.
Result

Data & internal tools

Know what sells, when,
and to whom

Problem
Sales data sat inside the POS. Nobody had the time to look, so decisions ran on gut feel.
System
Connectors for Square, Clover, Lightspeed, Shopify and Toast; a dashboard with best sellers, busiest hours, weather, neighbourhood and customer breakdowns.
Intelligence
An AI reads the week’s numbers, finds what changed and why, and answers plain-English questions with a chart.
Action
Emails the owner every Monday with the summary and concrete next steps.
Result
A weekly decision brief from data that used to go unread. Nothing to install, no server to buy.

Operations · events

From invitation to QR check-in,
one event flow

Problem
Hundreds of personalized invitations, replies, companions and change requests, tracked by hand across email and spreadsheets.

Document intelligence

Reads 29,777 articles,
writes the briefing

Problem
Eighty outlets a day to follow, and the real risk of briefings that quote things nobody actually said.
System
A daily pipeline that collects, filters, clusters issues, maps entities and people, and writes.
Intelligence
Keeps only events relevant to the reader, machine-checks that every quote exists in its source, and throws away what it cannot verify.
Action
Writes daily and weekly briefings, builds PDF reports, and distributes them by email — end to end, every day.
Result
29,777 articles read, 5,062 verified events, 942 issues tracked, 56 briefings and reports, no invented quotes.

Process

From the problem to working proof

  1. 01

    Define the problem

    We pin down the real problem on the ground — what the system must observe, what it may decide, and where a person stays in the loop.

  2. 02

    Rapid prototype

    A working prototype in days, on your real data and devices — so you judge it by seeing it run, not by a quote.

  3. 03

    Validate & refine

    We test it inside the real workflow, verify its decisions, and refine until it fits and can be trusted.

Who builds it

One engineer, end to end

Founder of Dojito · AI & software engineer, Toronto

  • M.S. Computer Science (AI), Georgia Tech
  • DevOps for Hyundai’s infotainment platform, Kubernetes across 20+ nodes
  • Certified Kubernetes Administrator · TensorFlow Developer
  • Builds and runs production systems for organizations in Toronto, where he is based

Built by one person,
who answers for it

Fast

Working software in days or weeks, not quarters — so you judge by seeing it run, not by a quote.

Fair

No layers between sales, planning and engineering. You talk to the person building it, and the price reflects that.

AI you can trust

It doesn’t guess. It cites its sources, checks quotes against the original, and asks a person when it isn’t sure. Built to be relied on in the field.
