Small tourism businesses need HR support but don't have time for it. Greg Klassen and Stavros Karlos built a solution.


KATE is a free AI HR assistant trained on 80+ trusted sources of Alberta employment standards, labor policies, and tourism-specific resources. Instead of watching hundreds of hours of training videos or reading thousands of pages of documentation, operators can now ask questions and get vetted answers instantly.


In this episode, we discuss how KATE was built, why small language models matter for tourism, and how this approach could be replicated across the industry. Greg and Stavros explain the labor challenges facing tourism (closed hotel floors, restaurants unable to open for all meals) and how better HR practices directly impact profitability.
