Montréal-based Solving.AI has secured $1.1 million CAD in pre-seed funding to launch ShowMe, an LLM-powered software guidance tool designed to bridge the gap between complex enterprise software and employee proficiency.
The company identifies a massive inefficiency in corporate environments: companies invest heavily in expensive platforms like Salesforce and HubSpot, yet employees often struggle with navigation and workflow execution. This 'adoption drag' is also a common pain point for enterprise software vendors themselves, who want users to actually use the underlying platform features.
Solving.AI is targeting the enterprise software adoption gap by offering an LLM-powered 'coach' that works across multiple platforms, rather than just one.
Why it matters: For corporations, faster onboarding reduces overhead costs and time-to-value for high-ticket items like business intelligence tools. For workers, it replaces tedious manual training sessions and manager-led tutorials. Instead of learning a complex dashboard first, employees can ask ShowMe in text or voice to guide them through specific tasks as they navigate their screens in real-time.
What changed: Solving.AI is moving from an idea into a go-to-market strategy using capital from AQC Capital and Québec angel investors. The lean team has significant experience from companies like Talent.com, Talent.com’s former CTO, and Lightspeed Commerce, and they are leveraging these understood enterprise workflows to build a solution that fits seamlessly into existing software stacks.
What to watch next: Watch for how Solving.AI faces competition from built-in native AI assistants within the SaaS giants (e.g., Salesforce’s Einstein or HubSpot's CRM tools). The startup must prove its third-party bolt-on can offer a unified guidance layer across multiple disparate platforms.
