About QLIA
We build your AI workers, then lock the doors behind them.
QLIA is a North American AI company. We build AI employees and automations that take repetitive work off your plate, and we test your security the way an attacker would. The people who plan your system are the people who build it.

Why QLIA exists
Big-company know‑how, sized for a 12‑person office.
Most small businesses we meet run on spreadsheets, a shared inbox and one person who knows where everything is. They know AI could save them hours. They also know one breach could sink them. What they can’t easily find is someone who will give them a straight answer, build the thing and stand behind it.
Paras Khurana started QLIA to be that someone. He holds postgraduate qualifications in AI from Caltech and in cybersecurity from MIT, plus an MBA, and he set one rule for the company: the people who sell you the plan are the people who build it.
Who does the work
Our team has found vulnerabilities in some of the most heavily defended systems on the planet.
Between us we have 250+ years of combined team experience. One of our team members was recently recognized by NASA for finding vulnerabilities in its systems. That’s the standard we bring to a law office, a clinic or a 20-person distributor.
Consultants trained at Deloitte and PwC
They’ve worked on strategy for large organisations, so they know which problems are worth fixing first and which can wait.
Engineers who build it in-house
Most of our team comes from leading institutes. The people who design your AI worker are the people who build, secure and run it.
Senior people on every audit
Your security audit is done by our senior engineers. That’s why we only take a limited number each month.
What we do
Four services, one team
Pick the one that fixes your biggest problem first. They’re built to work together when you’re ready for more.
The numbers we stand behind
Plain numbers, the same on every page
What a typical AI employee costs per year: about 70% less than the roughly $80,000 a full-time hire costs once salary, benefits and overhead are in.
Where AI Workforce plans start, per month. Final pricing depends on the features you need.
How long the average breach takes to find and stop (IBM, 2026). In Canada it’s 205 days.
Your first security audit, whether we find issues or not.
How we work
Four steps, no six-month discovery phase
A free conversation
We learn how your business runs and where the hours and the risk go. You get a straight recommendation, even if it isn’t us.
A plan with targets
What to build first, what it costs, and the numbers it has to hit. We agree on those before any work starts.
We build and secure it
Our engineers build the AI worker or automation and lock it down before it touches your live data.
It earns its fee
We track it against the agreed targets on your dashboard and keep tuning it until it gets there.
Our side of the deal
No monthly fee until your AI worker hits its targets.
For AI Workforce, Smart Automation and Business Transformation, the upfront fee covers designing, building and securing your custom AI worker. The monthly management fee only starts once it hits the performance targets we agreed on, like the hours it saves or the volume it handles. If it falls short, we keep improving it at no monthly cost until it gets there.
Plenty of AI agencies sell a generic bot and hope you find the return. We’d rather prove it on your dashboard first.
