AI agents for founders and executives in consulting

Actionist is an AI automation tool whose agents operate the apps consulting founders already use, preparing meeting packs, client watchlists, conflict checks, and briefings for the partner's decision.

Managing partners should spend Sunday evening on the firm's direction, not on assembling the pack for Monday's partners' meeting.

Where you spend your time

Why Consulting Founders & Executives teams switch

We know how your week actually goes

A founder or managing partner in a consulting firm runs two jobs at once: delivering for clients and governing the firm. The governance job is full of compiling, chasing, and checking that rarely feels like leadership.

Actionist builds AI agents for founders and executives in consulting that prepare the partners' pack, the key client view, and the conflict memo, so your hours go to the decisions only a partner can make.

What matters to you
  • A partners' meeting that starts on time
    Agenda, papers, and last meeting's actions assembled before the day.
  • No key client goes quiet
    A watchlist that shows who last spoke to each sponsor and when.
  • Conflicts checked before the pitch
    A memo for the risk partner on every new prospect.
  • Practice numbers on one page
    Scorecards in one definition, not five spreadsheets.
  • Alliances and associates kept current
    Tiers, certifications, and trusted freelancers in one register.
  • Built around your firm
    These are examples. Build a custom agent for any partner job you repeat.

And hundreds of other tasks you do manually..

An agent can take a lot off your team's plate. Take a look below to see the time and cost you could save by adding AI agents to your Consulting Founders & Executives team's day.

The problem

Where the hours go

  • Friday afternoon goes on chasing practice leads for papers, then Sunday evening on merging them into the pack for Monday's partners' meeting, and the minutes are still unwritten a week later.

    An agent chases the papers, builds the pack, and drafts the minutes and decision log from the recording, leaving you the decisions.

  • A key client's sponsor has not spoken to a partner in four months and nobody noticed until the renewal conversation turned cold.

    An agent keeps a watchlist of last contact, open invoices, and renewal dates, and flags the clients where the quiet has gone on too long.

  • A pitch is half written before someone asks whether the firm already advises the prospect's competitor, and the conflict check becomes a scramble.

    An agent compares each new prospect with the client and former client lists and writes a memo for the risk partner to decide on.

  • Five practice leads send five different spreadsheets and the quarterly partner memo waits for whoever is slowest.

    An agent chases the inputs, consolidates them in one definition, and drafts the quarter's memo for the managing partner to edit.

Triggers

Your Agent wakes up Automatically whenever something happens

Your agents watch the apps you already use and act the moment something happens, usually within about a minute, handle it based on your instructions, 24/7.

WhenA new prospect is added to the pipelinefires within about a minute
The agent automatically

When a prospect and its proposed mandate are added to the pipeline, the agent reads the legal name and group companies within about a minute and compares them with current clients, former clients, and recorded confidentiality walls. The memo lists every match and waits for the risk partner to clear or escalate it.

Trust & control

You stay in control

A managing partner's agents handle client names, firm numbers, and judgement calls, so control matters more than speed. Actionist keeps decisions with you: agents prepare, a partner decides, and everything outward-facing is held for approval.

Conflict decisions stay with the risk partner

The agent compares lists and drafts a memo. Whether a prospect is cleared, escalated, or walled off is decided by a named partner, never by the agent.

Messages to clients wait for approval

Sponsor notes, reminders, and the Friday partner note are drafts until a person approves them. You can widen autonomy later through Approval Modes.

Firm numbers stay in your own systems

Scorecards, pipeline, and client records are read from your own tools. Data is encrypted and never used to train any model, and you can self-host on a VPS.

Every figure traces back to its source

Consolidated views note which sheet each number came from and flag anything that does not reconcile, so the partners can ask where a figure came from.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do consulting founders and executives need to be technical to use Actionist?
No. You describe the governance routine in plain language, connect the tools you already use, and review what the agent prepares. Where a tool has no API, the agent operates the screen the way a person would.
How do we get started with Actionist as a managing partner?
Pick one weekly job, such as assembling the partners' pack or the key client watchlist. Connect your mail, calendar, and the sheet or CRM involved, describe the steps once, and review the first drafts before adding more.
How do I make a customised AI agent for our firm's own routines?
Describe the job in plain language, name the apps involved, and say which steps need a partner's approval. The agents shown here are examples, not the limit. You can build a custom agent for any partner or chief of staff job you repeat.
How quickly can we set Actionist up?
A first agent such as the Monday watchlist refresh can run in the same week once the CRM and calendar are connected. Triggers fire within about a minute of the event. Wider rollout takes longer as you check each mapping.
Will the agent decide a conflict of interest for us?
No. It compares the prospect with your client and former client lists and writes a memo. The risk partner decides whether to clear, escalate, or wall off. Your professional obligations stay with your people.
Can it send reminders or notes to clients and partners by itself?
Not unless you allow it. Messages to clients, practice leads, and associates are drafted and held for approval. You can widen that later through Approval Modes, and destructive actions always need a person.
Is our client and firm data safe with an agent reading our CRM and sheets?
The agent reads from your own tools. Data is encrypted, never used to train any model, and each action is logged. A firm that needs everything on its own infrastructure can self-host on a VPS.
Can it work with our partnership's own spreadsheets and tracker that have no API?
Yes, in the cloud. The agent operates the screen like a person, reading a tracker or a sheet and drafting the consolidated view. Computer use runs in the cloud and you review before anything circulates.
Does this replace the chief of staff or the managing partner's assistant?
No. It prepares the pack, the watchlist, and the memo so those people can spend their time on judgement and relationships. Decisions about people, clients, and strategy stay with your partners.
