Summary: Dmitri conducted a webinar on AI-assisted consulting discovery, focusing on how AI agents and agentic workflows can be used to improve efficiency and leverage in professional services firms. He explained the three pillars of AI in professional services - efficiency, leverage, and growth - and demonstrated how AI can be applied during the discovery phase, which includes information intake, research activities, stakeholder mapping, and interview planning. Dmitri provided a detailed example using AnyQuest platform to show how AI agents can perform Porter's Five Forces analysis, conduct stakeholder interviews using the Five Why's methodology, and analyze interview results to synthesize problems and issues. He also demonstrated how mini-apps can be generated to create dynamic presentations from the analysis. The webinar concluded with Dmitri offering to share a Discovery Workspace template containing the defined agents discussed during the session.
In consulting, stakeholder interviews are essential — but scheduling and conducting 18 individual conversations takes weeks. In this clip, Dmitri demonstrates a smarter approach: an AI chatbot agent trained to conduct Five Whys interviews autonomously with every stakeholder on the list.
Once the stakeholder interviews are complete, the real analytical work begins — and traditionally, that's where consulting teams spend the most time. Synthesizing dozens of transcripts, identifying patterns, reconciling conflicting perspectives, and distilling it all into a boardroom-ready report can take days. In this clip, Dmitri shows how a fleet of parallel AI agents handles the entire synthesis pipeline automatically.
