Work moves
forward with agents.
I help businesses bring AI agents into everyday operations—connecting people, documents and work steps so teams spend less time chasing details and more time moving the work forward.

01 / Operations, connected
The work keeps
moving.
A virtual operations agent works in the background to keep a file coherent, coordinate the next steps and bring important decisions back to the people who own them.
Coordinate the handoffs
Track ordering, delivery, installation and service, and keep the right people informed as work progresses.
Ask when it matters
For a straightforward file, aim for one or two confirmations. Flag mismatches, missing details and exceptions for review.
People keep the decisions. Agents handle the follow-through.

I’m Alain Gervais—an entrepreneur and AI operations builder.
My favourite question is simple: could this work better? My latest focus is helping businesses integrate AI agents into everyday work: connecting systems, organizing follow-through and reducing repetitive tasks so people can focus on useful, interesting work.
I’m the founder of RenoTrend. Years spent close to renovation operations taught me how much work gets lost between a customer, a document, a supplier and the next step. I build AI-supported ecosystems around those real handoffs, with people in charge of meaningful decisions.
