AI for consultancies and advisory firms

We build AI for consultancies that sell expertise by the project: management, IT and engineering firms and advisory practices. Proposals start from your best past work, consultants find the right reference in minutes, and the admin between CRM, planning and invoicing needs far less manual work.

Where the work gets stuck.

  • Proposals rewritten every time

    Every tender and proposal needs references, CVs and a method section that already exist somewhere in SharePoint or Notion. Finding and rewriting them takes time senior consultants should spend on the client's problem.

  • Knowledge that leaves with people

    Project learnings sit in final reports and in the heads of whoever ran the engagement. When those people move on, the firm loses the context and repeats the research.

  • Utilisation hidden behind admin

    Hours are written late, project budgets are checked at month end and invoices wait for someone to reconcile Simplicate or AFAS with the contract. Partners learn a project overran after the fact.

How we improve consultancies.

Each one is scoped around your systems and rules, and each one keeps a person in charge of the decisions that matter.

  • Proposal and tender assistant

    The assistant reads the request for proposal, finds matching references, CVs and method text from past bids and drafts a first version in your template. The bid manager edits it, and the responsible partner approves every submission.

    Built as internal copilots

  • Project knowledge search

    Consultants search final reports, workshop notes and deliverables across SharePoint, Confluence or Notion, and get answers that name the project and the document. Client-confidential material stays restricted to the people cleared for it.

    Built as semantic search

  • Account research before a pitch

    An agent reads the prospect's annual report, recent news and CRM history and writes a one-page brief into the HubSpot or Salesforce deal. The consultant walks into the meeting knowing the client's situation.

    Built as agentic workflows

  • Time and budget tracking

    Draft time entries are suggested from calendars and the documents people worked on, and budget use is checked daily against the contract. Project leads confirm the entries and get a warning before a budget runs out.

    Built as back-office automation

  • Client tools from engagement models

    Many engagements end in a spreadsheet model that the client keeps asking for. We turn the ones worth keeping into a web tool the client logs into, which the firm can offer as an ongoing service.

    Built as web and mobile apps

  • CRM, planning and finance integration

    A won deal in HubSpot creates the project in Simplicate or AFAS with budget and team, and approved hours flow to invoicing in Exact. Client data is typed in once.

    Built as API integrations

Built around the rules.

What we design for from the first week. Your legal and compliance people keep the final word.

  • Client confidentiality and NDAs

    Engagement letters and NDAs often restrict where client material may be stored and whether it may be used with AI tools. We map those terms to access rules and keep restricted material out of shared search.

  • GDPR and processing agreements

    Proposals, CVs and project files contain personal data of staff and client contacts. We work under a data processing agreement, share our sub-processor list and keep data in EU regions.

  • Security questionnaires from enterprise clients

    Large clients ask consultancies for ISO 27001 or SOC 2 aligned controls before they share data. We build with logging, access reviews and documentation that make those questionnaires easier to answer.

  • AI literacy under the EU AI Act

    Organisations that use AI systems must make sure their staff understand them well enough to use them responsibly. We hand over short guidance on what each tool does, where it fails and when to check its output.

Works with what you run.

If a system has an API, a database, an export or an inbox, we can build on it. These are the ones we meet most.

Where to start.

Proposal assistant for one service line

We take one service line with a steady flow of proposals and index its past bids, references and CVs. The first release drafts reference sections and CV summaries for a live tender, which your bid team compares with its own version.
