AI agents

We build specialized AI agents that understand your business. They chat by text or voice, analyze images and sounds, and plug into your data and your equipment, in the cloud or as local AI, right on your premises.

  1. 01

    Web & mobile agents

    Specialized agents you can type or talk to, connected to your own data sources: queries, report generation and advice specific to your field. They also talk to your equipment to simplify configuration and to read statuses and alarms.

    • Text & voice
    • Your data
    • Reports
    • Equipment
  2. 02

    Voice agents

    An assistant that actively listens and guides your teams through their tasks in real time: advice, reminders and answers to their questions, hands-free. It runs as local AI, on your own hardware, so your know-how stays yours.

    • Active listening
    • Real time
    • Hands-free
    • Local AI
  3. 03

    Vision & audio AI

    We train specialized models that analyze images and sounds to recognize living beings: growth stages, abnormal behavior, weight estimation, disease detection. They run locally, on your own hardware, right where the data is captured.

    • Images
    • Sound
    • Custom training
    • Local AI

Local AI

Your data never leaves your premises.

Our agents can run entirely on your own hardware (server, workstation or embedded device such as NVIDIA Jetson) instead of a third-party cloud. You keep control of your data and full ownership of your know-how.

  • Runs on your hardware, on site
  • No data sent to an outside cloud
  • Your know-how stays private
Proof of Concept

02 Rapid prototyping

Proof of Concept

We build proof‑of‑concept prototypes in record time to turn your ideas into tangible demonstrators.

Our agile, end‑to‑end approach combines microcontrollers, sensors, firmware, web & mobile interfaces, embedded AI, and cloud services — delivering powerful, connected, and scalable prototypes.

With in‑house 3D printing, cutting, and assembly tools, every POC is ready to be tested, showcased, or evolved into a full MVP.

IoT and Embedded

03 Electronics & firmware

IoT and Embedded

We design custom IoT and embedded devices, managing electronics, firmware, and connectivity end‑to‑end. Our expertise spans STM32, ESP32, NXP, and NVIDIA Jetson for on‑device AI, using C/C++, embedded Python, FreeRTOS, ThreadX, and Yocto Linux. We integrate sensors (GPS, IMU, UWB, cameras), wireless (Wi‑Fi, LTE, LoRa, Bluetooth), OTA updates, and secure protocols — delivering a complete turnkey solution from idea to intelligent prototype.

  • Firmware
  • Sensors
  • Wireless & OTA
Custom Cloud Services

04 Software & infrastructure

Custom Cloud Services

We deliver robust and secure cloud services for connected devices and custom applications.

Our microservices architectures are automated with Terraform and include REST APIs, authentication, reverse proxies, alerts, OTA updates, logging, and encrypted communications (TLS).

We also integrate MQTT queues and provide orchestration via Docker or native environments, tailored to your needs.
  • REST APIs
  • MQTT
  • Docker
  • Terraform
Test Benches

05 Production & quality

Test Benches

We bring proven expertise in production line design and test & certification benches to ensure your products are compliant, reliable, and market-ready.

We automate key steps: programming, testing, inspection, configuration of unique identifiers, label printing, and traceability — with solutions that are robust, easy to use, and optimized to lower your costs.
  • Programming
  • Testing
  • Labels
  • Traceability
Custom Solutions

06 Where others give up

Custom Solutions

Our strength: tailored solutions and interventions where others give up. We design custom solutions and handle atypical systems that are no longer officially supported.

For example, we have reprogrammed adapted vehicle controllers, revived obsolete industrial automations, and restored software after a cyberattack.

Whatever the complexity, we deliver a reliable solution — or connect you with a trusted partner.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

What types of projects do you work on at Cocktails?

We work on innovation-driven projects across various fields such as embedded electronics, IoT (Internet of Things), AI agents, cloud services, rapid prototyping, firmware development, and web services. Our goal is to support our clients from idea to viable product.

Can your AI agents run without the cloud?

Yes. We can deploy our agents as local AI, directly on your own hardware: server, workstation or embedded device (for example NVIDIA Jetson). Your data and know-how stay with you, with no dependency on an outside service.

Do you collaborate with our engineers and external partners?

Yes, we frequently work closely with our clients' internal teams as well as external project partners. We integrate seamlessly into existing teams to accelerate development and ensure overall project consistency.

Can you take over an existing project or work on a system developed by another team?

Absolutely. We often intervene in ongoing projects or on systems no longer supported by their original developers. Our goal is to minimize disruption and ensure continuity of service for our clients.

Do you travel for development work or on-site interventions?

Yes. We regularly travel throughout Quebec (Montreal, Quebec City, Trois-Rivières, etc.) based on project needs: development sessions, technical reviews, troubleshooting, demos, or on-site training.

How can we start a project with Cocktails?

It’s very simple. Just get in touch with us. We can quickly propose a collaboration offer (with a confidentiality agreement if needed), define short-term objectives, and launch the project iteratively based on your real-world context.

Do you have partners you can recommend for complex solution development?

Yes. We work with a network of specialized SMEs in complementary fields such as mechanical design, user interface development, PCB manufacturing, mold design, and machining. We connect you with the right experts at the right time.

What technologies do you prefer to work with?

We favor simple, robust, and open technologies that empower our clients to remain autonomous. We often work with proven open-source solutions that are well documented and supported by large communities. This helps reduce costs, limit dependencies, and ensure long-term scalability.

What are the advantages of working with Cocktails?

Cocktails provides a one-stop, multidisciplinary approach. This reduces the number of intermediaries, simplifies communication, and speeds up development. Our agile, compact structure also allows us to respond quickly to changing needs. Our cross-disciplinary mindset enhances problem-solving and accelerates innovation.

What is your level of experience?

Cocktails Solutions was founded in 2014. Since then, we’ve supported nearly thirty companies — from SMEs to multinationals — in high-value technology projects. Our strength lies in transforming bold ideas into functional prototypes and market-ready products.

Do you offer post-delivery services?

Yes. We offer follow-up, technical support, updates, and feature enhancements when needed. We can also train your teams or provide shared maintenance support.
