Our client, a consultancy with 30+ employees, started using AIAIAI a few months ago. Together with the management team, AIAIAI discussed what AI means for the consulting industry: automating preparatory work, generating strategic ideas faster with clients in the room, and questioning the evolving role of experts.

Honest feedback and fresh ideas are scarce at board level

In the consulting industry, the demand for experienced expertise is high. AI is increasingly handling baseline work itself. The true value lies in the conversation: someone who asks the right questions, challenges assumptions, and introduces new options.

The problem: senior consultants are scarce, expensive, and not always available. And at board level, you rarely get the candid story — people tend to mind the dynamics in the room.

The agents make every employee more productive. Less routine work. More time for high-value contributions.

The firm builds digital copies of experts

The solution the firm devised: agents that emulate an expert. They call these agents "digital copies". A digital copy behaves like the person it represents — in both knowledge and style.

The agent learns from what a person has written and said, which can include public publications or interviews. For their own employees, there is often more: emails, notes, calendar, and past conversations. The more input, the better the agent aligns with that individual.

ABOUT THE PLATFORM

The personal agent knows one person's writing style, calendar, and way of thinking.

In AIAIAI, you build an agent that works with an employee's or expert's own documents, emails, and notes. The digital copies in this case are an example of this: the agent mimics not only knowledge, but also the way someone responds and reasons. In this way, every employee will soon have a second brain that truly resembles them.

Three concrete applications — each with its own value

The firm developed three applications for the digital copy agents.

1. Knowledge retention — the expert remains available, even after departure

When an employee leaves, their knowledge goes with them. A digital copy prevents this. The firm estimates that every senior consultant represents an average of 6 to 9 months of accumulated client knowledge. That knowledge now remains searchable — even after they leave the company.

2. Better strategy sessions — more options in less time

Digital copies excel at devising alternatives. They ask the questions that people in the room might not. This makes strategic meetings more concrete and efficient.

The firm reports that preparation for client workshops takes an average of 40% less time. Consultants walk in better prepared — and clients notice.

3. Scalability — one expert, ten conversations at once

A senior consultant only has time for a limited number of clients. Their digital copy does not. Three consultants now effectively serve double the number of client projects per quarter via their agents, without additional FTEs.

The results — in three figures
