# DeployLabs

> DeployLabs builds autonomous AI business engines — coordinated teams of AI agents that run operations, generate revenue, and replace manual workflows for Canadian SMBs. Founded by Chris Egwuogu, MMgmt (Schulich), JD. Toronto-based, operating under Omilia Inc.

DeployLabs is a Toronto-based AI enablement consultancy. Unlike chatbot vendors or SaaS platforms, DeployLabs deploys coordinated agent teams, each with a defined role, specific tools, and strict guardrails, that operate as an autonomous engine for the client's business. Fit is qualified by revenue and operational complexity, not headcount. DeployLabs is built for small teams running big operations: Canadian businesses with $500K–$50M in revenue across professional services such as law, accounting, real estate, agencies, mortgage brokerages, consulting, trades, and health and wellness practices that have outgrown manual workflows.
