Join the founding phase of a unified digital ecosystem where local purchases fund student meals, support responsible alcohol awareness, and strengthen communities across Canada — with AI tools and merchant infrastructure built for independent businesses.
Cocendo is a merchant empowerment platform and the parent ecosystem behind mmercato.com, askmariak.com, mpass.live, the Diewert Foundation, BAM.memorial, and a growing family of AI chatbot products for business.
We build the digital infrastructure that independent businesses rarely have access to on their own — commerce tools, loyalty programs, AI-powered customer engagement, and community pathways that turn everyday spending into local impact.
Our flagship lab store is Anderson's Pharmacy and Postal Outlet — the real-world environment where we test and validate every product before rolling it out across the network.
Local businesses compete against platforms built at scale — with AI, logistics, loyalty, and marketing infrastructure that most small businesses can't replicate on their own. Cocendo changes that equation by giving independent merchants access to the same kind of coordinated digital infrastructure, without requiring them to build it from scratch.
Cocendo delivers custom AI chatbots at a flat monthly fee — not the per-resolution billing that makes platforms like Intercom unaffordable at scale. Your costs stay predictable while your customer engagement grows.
Merchants on Cocendo benefit from shared loyalty, a student marketplace, coordinated promotions, and digital tools that are designed to work as a unified system — not a pile of disconnected apps.
A portion of activity in the Cocendo ecosystem supports the Diewert Foundation, creating a direct link between local business and student food security, responsible alcohol awareness, scholarships, and community programs — no extra effort required.
Cocendo delivers dynamic AI chatbots tailored for small and medium businesses. Each chatbot is built on a shared 80% core engine and customized 20% to your business — which means you get a powerful, branded AI tool without the enterprise development cost.
No per-resolution billing. No surprise overage charges. One predictable monthly cost regardless of how many customer conversations your chatbot handles.
Conversations are not stored or used to train external models. Your customers' questions stay private — a critical advantage for health, pharmacy, and financial guidance chatbots.
Our AI chatbots are built on verified, authoritative databases — not scraped web content. Customers get consistent, accurate answers backed by trusted sources.
Cocendo AI chatbots are designed to connect digital engagement back to your physical store — routing customers to your pharmacy counter, retail floor, or service desk when they need in-person help.
Start with one AI chatbot and add more as you grow. Every plan includes setup, onboarding, and ongoing updates — no per-conversation billing, ever.
Add additional AI chatbots to any plan for $100/mo each. All plans billed monthly, cancel anytime.
Cocendo connects merchants, AI tools, students, and community programs in one coordinated ecosystem. The platform is built for trust, service, and shared reach.
Independent businesses set up their digital storefront, loyalty programs, and AI chatbot through Cocendo's tools and onboarding team.
Your custom AI chatbot answers questions, routes customers, and keeps your business accessible around the clock — without per-conversation billing.
mmercato.com draws students into the ecosystem through utility chatbots and vouchers — feeding demand to local merchants and POD products.
A portion of platform activity flows to the Diewert Foundation, supporting student food security and scholarships with zero extra effort from merchants or customers.
Independent merchants can use Cocendo to improve their online presence, launch an AI chatbot, and join a shared commerce network. We support pharmacies, restaurants, food-focused merchants, health and wellness providers, and retail trades.
Our solutions are designed to help merchants focus on what they do best while Cocendo handles the surrounding digital infrastructure — storefronts, AI engagement, loyalty, and community programs.
We validate every product in our flagship lab: Anderson's Pharmacy and Postal Outlet. If it works there, it works anywhere.
Every merchant in the Cocendo network gets access to the tools and reach that independent businesses rarely have on their own.
Cocendo is not just a commerce platform — it is also a mechanism for directing everyday activity toward local good. Through our ecosystem, business participation helps support food security, student access, and community remembrance initiatives.
When merchants partner with Cocendo's advertising platform, 80% of the fees collected are not retained by the platform — they are returned directly to the participating local merchants in the form of consumer vouchers distributed through mpass.live. This creates a closed loop: merchants pay a fee to reach students, and 80% of that fee comes back to them as pre-loaded student spending. It is not a donation model — it is a merchant acquisition engine that funds itself.
Every platform in the Cocendo network serves a distinct role — and together they create a model where local commerce, AI tools, student access, and charitable impact work as one.
Student marketplace and community commerce hub — utility chatbots, POD products, and local merchant discovery.
Digital wallet for loyalty points, gift cards, charity points, and product vouchers across the network.
Our flagship lab store — where every Cocendo product is tested and validated in a real community pharmacy setting.
AI chatbot platform for independent pharmacies — ask-a-pharmacist and health assistant tools sold B2B.
AI health authority chatbot — pharmacist-verified guidance powered by Ms. Maria K., our first AI influencer.
AI-powered local dining discovery — connecting community members with independent local restaurants.
CRA-registered foundation supporting student food security, scholarships, and community healing programs.
A respectful digital space for community remembrance, family legacy, and collective healing.
Cocendo is designed so that merchants, employers, professionals, and community members can all contribute to and benefit from the network — each in a way that fits their role.
Integrate your business into the Cocendo ecosystem — from independent pharmacies to local retailers. Access AI chatbots, loyalty programs, and digital tools while automatically contributing to community impact through every transaction.
Support the mission through employee payroll deduction programs, CSR budgets, and workplace giving initiatives. Engage your team in meaningful community impact through a model that ties everyday business activity to charitable outcomes.
Retired realtors and retail sector professionals: join our founding advisory network to help scale community commerce across Canada. Bring your network and expertise to a platform built to last.
Simply shop at participating merchants, use mpass.live, or make a direct donation to the Diewert Foundation. Every interaction in the Cocendo ecosystem creates real community benefit without any extra effort.
We are in the founding phase of the Cocendo platform, working directly with early merchants and community partners to build the ecosystem right. If you are a local business owner, nonprofit leader, employer, realtor, or community organizer, we want to hear from you.
Get In TouchCocendo AI chatbots are custom, branded conversational tools built specifically for independent merchants. Unlike platforms such as Intercom that charge per resolved conversation — meaning your costs grow with every customer interaction — Cocendo charges a flat monthly fee. Your chatbot also integrates with your physical store to route customers in-person when needed, and operates with zero data retention for customer privacy.
We currently offer chatbots for pharmacies, health and wellness providers, restaurants, food-focused merchants, financial advisors, and general retail. Our chatbot family includes: Ask a Pharmacist, Health Assistant, Health & Beauty Advisor, Recipe & Nutrition Guide, Restaurant Finder, Financial Coach, and Investment Guide — each available as a standalone product or as part of a merchant package.
We work with pharmacies, food-focused merchants, health and wellness providers, and community-facing businesses. We are expanding across sectors as the ecosystem grows. If you are an independent business owner interested in joining, reach out to operations@cocendo.com.
A portion of activity in the Cocendo ecosystem supports the Diewert Foundation, a CRA-registered Canadian charity. This happens automatically through the platform model — merchants and customers do not need to take any additional steps to contribute.
mpass.live is the digital wallet that powers loyalty points, gift cards, charity points, and product vouchers across the Cocendo network. Customers use it to collect and redeem rewards from any participating merchant in one place.
mmercato.com is the student marketplace and community commerce hub within the Cocendo ecosystem. It attracts students through utility AI chatbots, connects them to local merchants, and offers print-on-demand products — creating a marketplace flywheel that feeds customer flow back to participating businesses.
All transactions within the Cocendo platform are processed through Stripe Connect. Gift cards and vouchers issued through the platform are non-redeemable for cash. Full payment and gift card terms are available on mpass.live.
Yes. Cocendo is built and operated in Canada. Our charitable partner, the Diewert Foundation, is a CRA-registered charity. All platform operations are designed to align with Canadian privacy, charity, and commerce regulations.
