Built by builders
We're a team of engineers and AI specialists based in Vancouver, Canada. We build AI systems that work in the real world — not demos that impress on stage.
Xerad is derived from kherad (خرد), a Middle Persian word meaning wisdom and intellect — not knowledge alone, but the capacity to reason well and act with discernment. It's the quality we bring to every automation we build.
We don't sell hype.
We ship systems.
Xerad was founded on a simple idea: most businesses know AI could help them, but they don't know where to start — and they've been burned by vendors who over-promise and under-deliver.
We're different. We're technical founders who build alongside you. We don't hand over a slide deck and walk away. We architect, build, deploy, and support real AI systems that handle real work in your business.
Our team brings experience across machine learning, data engineering, software architecture, and AI agent development. We've built systems that process thousands of transactions, handle customer conversations at scale, and turn messy data into clear decisions.
How we operate
Build what works
We use the right tool for the job — not the trendiest. Sometimes that's a cutting-edge LLM. Sometimes it's a well-structured script. We optimize for outcomes, not complexity.
Ship fast, iterate
We get a working version in your hands quickly, then refine based on real usage. Perfection is the enemy of progress.
Radical transparency
No black boxes. We explain what we're building, why, and how it works. You own everything we create. No vendor lock-in, ever.
Measure everything
If we can't measure the impact, we won't build it. Every project starts with a clear success metric and we track it relentlessly.
Humans in the loop
AI is a tool, not a replacement. Our systems are designed to augment your team's capabilities — keeping humans in control of the decisions that matter.
Long-term partnership
We're not project mercenaries. We build systems designed to grow with your business and we stick around to make sure they do.
Let's build something together
We're always looking for interesting problems to solve. If you've got one, we'd love to hear about it.
