Our technology isn’t reserved for organizations: it also serves every citizen through simple, privacy-respecting interfaces.
Two services are already available: GoIA for the general public, and ÉtudeIA for school support.
A technological foundation powering future citizen-focused editions
GoIA and ÉtudeIA are the first steps of a broader public ecosystem. We are working with educational, community, and cultural partners to adapt the same architecture to other areas of collective interest: civic information, digital inclusion, culture and heritage, preventive health, and support for mission-driven organizations. All of these editions rely on the same approach: data sovereignty, Québec hosting, a controlled energy footprint, and full user control.
Why build our own models starting now
AI tools will soon sit at the heart of all digital interactions: what we search, what we produce, how we learn, create, and express ourselves. As AI fuses with search engines, social platforms, and operating systems, those who control the foundations will also shape how citizens think, communicate, and access knowledge.
For Québec, failing to master this base would mean total dependence on global actors whose commercial, cultural, or geopolitical interests may not align with ours. This is precisely why we develop and operate our own models, equipped with an integrated Québec cultural layer by design.
This shared foundation is injected into all our public-facing solutions. It forms a kind of digital continuity: a framework that preserves our way of reasoning, phrasing, and interpreting the world—while remaining open to the international sphere. We are thus building AI that is useful today and durable tomorrow — a common anchor before the major platforms become impossible to catch up with.
Full control of the technology stack
Our infrastructure does not rely on external services: it is operated end-to-end, right here in Québec.
The servers are assembled, configured, and operated locally; the models are hosted and adapted by us; and the data in transit never leaves the province without explicit oversight.
Our hybrid architecture combines:
- Matania, our sovereign orchestration layer, which handles requests on the front line and reduces the energy footprint
- a transparent handoff to world-class models when the task requires it
- measurable progress: each month, Matania expands its capabilities to delegate fewer tasks to external models
This technological mastery enables the controlled, traceable, and culturally adapted introduction of more advanced innovations: secure memory, specialized assistants, complex reasoning, and—tomorrow—true software agents acting on the user’s behalf.
In other words, we don’t just consume AI: we build it, host it, and evolve it. This ensures strategic continuity, real digital independence, and the capacity to grow Québec’s ecosystem rather than making it captive.
