Profession-specific primary-source research and specialized skills that produce cited answers, memos, checklists, worksheets, and traceable workpapers—ask normally or upload a file.
We’ll select the right profession and jurisdiction before answering.
Or jump straight to your workspace
Ask or attach a file. The assistant selects a skill, runs controlled logic, and returns sources, assumptions, exceptions, and downloadable files you can defend.
Describe the task normally and add a supported file when needed.
The assistant routes the task automatically, or you choose the skill.
Known logic runs the calculation, check, or workbook operation.
Inspect sources, assumptions, exceptions, trace details, and files.
Prepare a GST/HST workpaper and flag exceptions.
Those are flexible, general-purpose assistants. AIFormula is narrower by design: the professional context, source corpus, controlled skills, and review package are already built into the workflow.
It complements general AI when the work needs to be grounded, repeatable, and ready for professional review.

Does TOSI apply to dividends paid to my client's 22-year-old who works 15 hours a week in the family business?
TOSI generally applies to dividends paid from a private corporation to a related adult, but not to an excluded amount — including income from an excluded business the individual is actively engaged in on a regular, continuous, and substantial basis1. The Act deems that test met when the person works an average of 20 or more hours per week2. At 15 hours a week the child falls short of that bright line, so the dividend isn't automatically excluded — you'd need to support "actively engaged" on the specific facts1.
…the individual is deemed to be actively engaged on a regular, continuous and substantial basis … if the individual works … an average of at least 20 hours per week …
Every assistant has its own source corpus, terminology, and skills. The capabilities below reflect what is available in that market today.

The important distinction: this is not an open-ended action agent. It is grounded research plus a catalog of bounded, reviewable skills.
ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are flexible general-purpose assistants. AIFormula is configured for specific professions: it uses a curated primary-source corpus, can route supported requests into bounded first-party skills, packages outputs with review evidence, and—where available—estimates substantive professional learning activity. It is designed for professional workflows, not to replace every general AI use case.
AIFormula is a profession-specific AI workbench. It combines cited primary-source research with first-party skills that can inspect files, run controlled calculations, prepare workpapers, and draft professional documents for review.
A skill is a specialized workflow with known inputs and reviewable outputs—for example, reconciling bank data to the general ledger, preparing a GST/HST workpaper, or running an engineering calculation worksheet. Skills are built and controlled by LearnFormula; they are not arbitrary third-party plugins.
No. Ask normally or attach a supported file and the assistant can select an appropriate skill from your prompt and file profile. You can also choose a skill directly when you want a specific workflow.
AI can help route the request and explain the result, but supported calculations and workbook writes run through controlled server-side skill logic. The output records assumptions, warnings, mappings, and row-level trace details so a professional can review the work.
Eligible file skills accept up to two CSV or XLSX files, with limits of 10 MB, 50,000 rows, and 20 sheets per file. Uploads remain private to the authenticated user and market, are not added to the research corpus, and expire after 30 days.
In eligible markets, self-directed research may qualify depending on your professional body, role, relevance, and supporting evidence. The assistant suggests an activity time, then you confirm the time actually spent, choose your body's category, and record a learning outcome before anything enters your CPD log.
No. Each assistant has its own profession-specific source corpus, skill catalog, terminology, and professional-development rules. The market directory below shows which capabilities are available in each live assistant.
AIFormula is decision support, not a replacement for professional judgment. Verify cited sources, assumptions, calculations, and generated files before using them in advice, filings, designs, or decisions.
