Consulting Firms Are Losing 10+ Hours a Week to Work AI Can Handle

You bill clients for your thinking, not your admin. But right now, a big chunk of your week goes to drafting proposals, summarizing research, writing meeting notes, and assembling client reports. Shane Brady builds custom AI systems that take those tasks off your plate, so your team spends more hours on billable work and less time on everything around it.

Updated April 21, 2026

The AI workforce that handles this for your consulting firms business.

We don't build one giant AI bot. We build twelve specialists, each one trained on your consulting firms business and each one focused on a specific revenue leak. They work together as a team. You hire one or hire all of them. Here's what each agent does:

Riley, the AI Receptionist. Answers every call, qualifies the caller, books the job. 24/7.

Riley picks up the phone the moment it rings. She asks the right questions, looks up your calendar, and books the appointment before the caller has a chance to try the next contractor on Google. Every missed call becomes a captured job.

Cole, the AI Lead Closer. Responds to inbound web leads in under 60 seconds.

Cole is the first responder for every form fill, chat, or lead source. The second a lead lands, he's already replying in your voice with the right question, the right context, and the right next step. Response time goes from hours to seconds.

Ava, the AI Scheduler. Confirms, reminds, reschedules. No-shows go to zero.

Ava runs the calendar like a hawk. Day-before confirmations, morning-of reminders, and the second a customer says they can't make it she finds them a new slot before they ghost. Booked-to-completed ratio jumps.

Marcus, the AI Collector. Chases unpaid invoices. Polite. Persistent. Paid.

Marcus runs the AR follow-up your bookkeeper doesn't have time for. Day 1 friendly nudge, day 7 firmer reminder, day 14 escalation with a payment link. He recovers cash you'd otherwise write off and shrinks DSO.

Maya, the AI Support Agent. 24/7 customer service across web chat, SMS, and email.

Maya handles the customer service queue your team can't keep up with. She answers FAQs from your real knowledge base, processes refunds and returns, books rescheduling, and escalates only when a human truly needs to step in.

Quinn, the AI Quote Closer. Sends quotes, follows up, recovers ghosted deals.

Quinn takes the quotes that went out and never came back. She runs a multi-week follow-up sequence built from what's actually closed your past deals, surfaces objections, and pulls ghosted prospects back into the pipeline.

Reese, the AI Onboarder. Walks every new customer through the first 30 days.

Reese owns the first 30 days. She welcomes every new customer, walks them through setup, checks in at the right milestones, and surfaces issues before they become churn. The customers who stick around are usually the ones who got onboarded right.

Sage, the AI Reviewer. Asks every customer for a review. At the right moment.

Sage asks every customer for a review the moment they're happiest. She times the ask perfectly, sends through whichever channel they prefer, and routes negative feedback to you privately before it lands on Google.

Drew, the AI Dispatcher. Routes incoming work to the right person, fast.

Drew triages every incoming job. He looks at location, skill required, tech availability, and customer priority, then routes it to the right person in seconds. Dispatch goes from a full-time job to a background process.

Beck, the AI Bookkeeper. Categorizes, reconciles, flags weirdness. Daily.

Beck handles the bookkeeping grind. He categorizes transactions, reconciles accounts, flags anything that looks off, and keeps your books month-end ready every single day. Your accountant gets clean data, your CPA bill drops.

Indi, the AI Marketer. Content, social, email campaigns. In your voice. At 5x output.

Indi runs the content engine. Blog posts, social, email campaigns, ad copy, review replies. She writes in your voice using your actual brand voice doc, ships on schedule, and measures every piece against real conversions.

Owen, the AI Reporter. Daily business dashboard, delivered to your inbox.

Owen pulls every number that matters every morning. Revenue, jobs booked, jobs completed, AR aging, lead source ROI, customer NPS. He delivers the dashboard at 6am so you walk into your day already knowing what's up.

Every agent is custom-built around how your consulting firms business actually runs. The voice your phone agent uses, the questions it asks, the calendar it books into, the CRM it writes to, the pricing rules it follows: all configured to your operation. No generic chatbot energy. No off-the-shelf. The agents sound like you because they are trained on you.

Build with one agent first if you want to start small. Most clients pick the single biggest revenue leak (usually missed calls or slow follow-up) and ship that agent in 2 to 4 weeks. From there, the next agents stack on top because the foundation is already in place: the integrations, the knowledge base, the brand voice, the analytics. Each new agent is faster to build than the last.

Common questions

We already use HubSpot and Notion. Do we have to switch to anything new?

No. The systems Shane builds connect into the tools you are already using. HubSpot, Notion, Pipedrive, Salesforce, and Asana are all tools he regularly integrates with. The point is to make your existing workflow faster, not to replace it with something new your team has to learn.

How long does it actually take to get something running?

Most single-use-case builds, like proposal automation or meeting note logging, are live within 4 to 6 weeks. More complex builds that cover multiple workflows run 6 to 10 weeks. Shane will give you a clear timeline before any work starts, and it does not change unless the scope changes.

We have tried ChatGPT and it did not really change anything. Why would this be different?

Using ChatGPT directly in a browser is different from a custom system built around your firm's data, templates, and workflow. The systems Shane builds pull from your actual proposals, your CRM records, your client files. They are triggered by your existing processes, not by someone remembering to open a new tab and type a prompt. That is the difference between a general tool and a system built for your firm.

How do we know this will actually save time and not just add something else to manage?

Shane starts every engagement by mapping the specific tasks where your team is spending the most time. If the math on a particular automation does not make sense, he will say so. The builds are scoped to things with a clear and measurable payoff, like proposals, reports, and meeting notes, where the time savings show up in the first few weeks and are easy to track.

Is this right for a small firm, or do we need to be a certain size?

It works well for firms with 2 to 25 people. The sweet spot is a firm that already has a CRM or project management tool in use and has clear, recurring tasks that eat into billable hours every week. Smaller firms often see the biggest impact because each hour saved is a higher percentage of total capacity.

What does the first call look like and is there a pitch?

The first call is a working conversation. Shane asks about your current workflow, what tools you use, and where the biggest time drains are. He will tell you honestly whether a custom AI system makes sense for where you are right now, or whether something else should come first. There is no slide deck and no pressure close.
