For small service businesses in Calgary
Bornara sets up a simple AI assistant in the email you already use. It sorts new inquiries and drafts replies in your voice. You check each one and press send.
Hi, my water heater is leaking, can someone come this week?
You're on a roof, under a sink, or with a client. Three inquiries come in. By the time you're back in the truck it's evening, you're tired, and one of them has already booked someone else.
It's not that you don't care. There just isn't time to write a good reply to everyone, right away.
01 / Inquiry Starter
We go through how customers reach you today and what happens to their messages.
One assistant inside your existing email. New inquiries are sorted, and a reply draft is waiting for you, written the way you write.
A one-page guide, a 30-minute walkthrough, and 30 days of fixes. You own every account.
Hi, my water heater is leaking, can someone come this week?
Fixed price, written scope, agreed before any work starts.
AI drafts the replies and helps build the system. I design the workflow, test it on your kinds of inquiries, check where your data goes, and hand it over only when it works.
Nothing is ever sent without you.
02 / Your data
Messages and drafts stay in your mailbox, as they always have.
To draft a reply, the message text is processed by an AI provider outside Canada. This is stated plainly on a one-page data sheet you get before anything is set up.
Bornara keeps no copies.
You own every account and can switch it off any time. Your email keeps working as before.
03 / Services
Each project has a fixed scope and a fixed price. Ask for a quote.

05 / About
Hi, I'm Mahdi.
I'm a Calgary-based software engineer with 7+ years of experience building web applications, and I build production software with AI every day. I started Bornara to bring the same practical approach to small businesses: small, useful tools you understand and own.
Bornara is a one-person business. You'll deal with me directly, from the first call to the handover.
LinkedIn06 / Founding pilots
Bornara is taking its first few Inquiry Starter clients at a reduced pilot price, in exchange for honest feedback and permission to measure the before and after.

Your inquiries still arrive in your inbox as normal. Fixes are included for 30 days, handled by the next business evening.
No. Nothing is sent without you pressing send.
