Consulting
Client-ready research without the analyst hours
Probe AI helps consultants, strategy advisors, and professional services firms produce structured research for client engagements. 16 parallel agents search the web and X/Twitter to build comprehensive briefings, market analyses, and expert syntheses with full source citations.
The Problem
Consulting engagements run on research. Market entry analyses, competitive assessments, industry briefings, and client background research consume a significant portion of billable hours. At major firms, junior analysts spend 40-60% of their time on desk research—aggregating data from industry reports, news, company filings, and expert networks.
Independent consultants and boutique firms face the same research demands without the analyst headcount. A solo consultant preparing for a client meeting needs the same depth of market intelligence as a Big Four team, but has hours instead of days to prepare it.
The quality bar is high. Clients expect structured, well-sourced analysis—not AI-generated summaries without citations. Every claim needs a verifiable source. Every recommendation needs supporting evidence. Generic research output wastes more time than it saves.
How Probe Helps
Market entry analysis
Probe's 16 agents simultaneously research market size, competitive dynamics, regulatory environment, customer needs, distribution channels, and success/failure case studies for any target market. The structured report provides a starting framework that consultants can refine and augment with proprietary insights.
Client and industry briefings
Before a client meeting or new engagement, run a Probe query to assemble current context: recent news, strategic moves, financial performance, market position, and relevant industry trends. The report is structured with an executive summary and key findings that map to a briefing deck format.
Expert perspective synthesis
Probe searches both web publications and X/Twitter to find expert commentary, analyst opinions, practitioner insights, and academic perspectives on any topic. The report synthesizes multiple viewpoints with attribution, giving consultants a landscape of expert thinking they can reference in recommendations.
Collections for recurring clients
Create collections with custom context prompts for each client or engagement. Probe remembers the context—client industry, focus areas, previous research—so each new query builds on accumulated knowledge rather than starting from scratch.
Example Queries
Why Web + X/Twitter
Consulting research requires both depth and recency. Industry reports and published analyses provide the structured data and historical context that clients expect. But the most current signal—executive commentary, customer reactions, practitioner debates, and early trend indicators—increasingly lives on X/Twitter.
A client asks about a market trend. The formal reports are 6 months old, but the practitioners debating its implications are posting on X/Twitter today. A competitor announces a strategic shift—the press release is on the web, but the industry reaction and expert analysis unfold in real-time threads. Probe captures both, giving consultants the combined depth of web research and the recency of social intelligence.
