Quick answer
Who can build an AI-powered app for my business in Calgary or Edmonton, and what does it cost?
Mana Studio builds Android and iOS apps for Indian-owned businesses in Calgary, Edmonton and the rest of Alberta, such as trades and field-service firms, shops and restaurants, and clinics and offices that take bookings. Each app ships to both stores from one React Native codebase, with optional AI features such as turning a voice note from a job site into a field report. An MVP of up to 10 screens starts from $1,049 in US dollars and typically takes 6–10 weeks. It starts with a free 30-minute meeting in English, Telugu or Hindi, followed by a fixed quotation within 2 hours of the meeting. Mana Studio is a remote team based in Warangal, Telangana, India, with no office in Canada. The code, store accounts and cloud accounts are in the client's name.

An energy economy, and where the community's businesses sit
Calgary is the head-office city for much of Alberta's energy sector and oilfield services, and the businesses that supply it, such as contractors, trades, transport and equipment firms, run on field work, tickets and job costs. An Indian-origin owner in that supply chain usually needs a tool for crews and paperwork before a customer-facing app.
In northeast Calgary, Castleridge and Falconridge have Indian-run clothing shops, salons and grocers. In Edmonton, Mill Woods is the part of the city most closely associated with the South Asian community, and two of the city's gurdwaras are there. A shop or clinic in either wants booking, ordering and reminders in the customer's hand.
- Trades and field-service firms: job tickets, crew check-in and photo reports
- Retail and restaurants: order-ahead, pickup and loyalty
- Clinics and service offices: appointment booking and reminders
- Founders with a product idea who want a small build team in India
What is specific to Alberta
Alberta has no provincial sales tax, so a sale carries only the federal GST. That makes receipts simpler than in provinces with a harmonized or separate provincial tax, but they should still show the GST line, and your accountant confirms registration.
Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act covers private-sector organisations in the province and can apply in place of PIPEDA for activity inside Alberta. We design what the app collects with it in mind, and your lawyer confirms what applies. The payment, CASL and French points are on the Canada page.
Working with a team in India from Alberta
Calgary and Edmonton are 11 hours 30 minutes behind India in daylight time and 12 hours 30 minutes behind in standard time. A call at 9:00 am in Alberta is 8:30 pm in India in summer and 9:30 pm in winter. Calls fit the start of your day, and staging builds arrive before the next one.
AI that removes manual work
AI is optional. These are the add-ons that pay for themselves by taking a repeated manual job off someone's desk.
Job-site voice notes into field tickets
Today: A supervisor talks through the day's work at the end of a shift and an office hand writes it into a ticket.
With automation: The voice note is transcribed into the ticket against the right job and crew, and the supervisor reviews it.
Materials receipts matched to jobs
Today: Receipts from supply stores pile up and are matched to jobs by hand at month end.
With automation: The crew photographs the receipt, the app reads the lines and suggests the job, and the office confirms.
Photo requests turned into scoping questions
Today: Customers send photos of a renovation or repair job and the owner calls back to ask the same questions each time.
With automation: The app reads the photos and message, asks the standard follow-up questions, and hands the owner a short summary to quote from.
