Nathan Buckmire is the founder of Everline Solutions, a Toronto-based consultancy that gets local businesses recommended by ChatGPT and Google AI. He spent over a decade in the GTA trades, from rookie painter to general contractor, before building AI systems for the businesses he used to work beside.
Paintbrush to prompt.
For over a decade I quoted jobs, chased invoices, and missed calls while I was busy working, in almost every GTA trade. I didn’t learn AI in a lab. I learned it the only way I could afford to: tired, skeptical, and needing my evenings back. Now I build the systems I wish I’d had, for the businesses I used to work beside.
From rookie painter to general contractor, diagnosing problems for every trade type.
Built AI systems for my own work. Broke them. Fixed them. Gained a deeper understanding.
Everline is the same advice friends and family came for. I’m not ten steps ahead of you. Maybe a year, and at the rate AI moves, anyone who starts today closes that gap in months.
Rec’d by AI, and the work underneath it.
Nathan runs Rec’d by AI, Everline’s service for getting local businesses named when customers ask ChatGPT or Google AI Mode for a recommendation. In October 2026 he ran the live test behind it: 93 top-ranked Toronto businesses (97 Google listings) across ten categories, checked against 58 logged-out answers. Only 26 of the 93 were named.
Underneath Rec’d is the work he started with: phones that get answered at 7pm, follow-up that goes out whether or not anyone remembers to send it, and listings and websites for trades and clinics around Ontario.
His rule for the sprint guarantee, in his words: “I’d rather turn one of these down than take money I’m going to hand back.”
