Founder, RenoTrend · Independent builder · Montréal

I build with AI.

I turn useful ideas into real products—exploring where artificial intelligence can make creative work faster, clearer and more human.

Working at the intersection of renovation, design and intelligent software.

02 / The approach

Curious by
default.

I’m Alain Gervais—an entrepreneur, product maker and lifelong learner.

My favourite question is simple: could this work better? AI has opened a new way to answer it. I use it as a creative partner to design, prototype and ship tools grounded in real needs—not technology for technology’s sake.

I’m the founder of RenoTrend, where I’ve spent years combining renovation expertise, visual design and software to help people see a project before building it. Lately, that same maker energy has taken me into memory, music, sales and sport.

01

Start useful.
Solve something real.

02

Build to learn.
Progress beats theory.

Keep it human.
AI is the tool, not the point.
