Perceptis, a startup co-founded by former McKinsey consultant Alibek Dostiyarov and ex-Apple engineer Yersultan Sapar, has secured $3.6 million in funding to automate tedious tasks in consulting with generative AI. The duo aims to streamline manual processes in consulting agencies, allowing professionals to concentrate on client service. With generative AI gaining traction, established firms are also investing heavily, indicating a significant shift in how consulting will operate in the future. Perceptis positions itself as a crucial tool for enhancing the efficiency and enjoyment of the consulting profession.
"A lot of the internal processes are extremely manual labor heavy," Alibek Dostiyarov, cofounder and CEO of Perceptis, told Business Insider of consulting workflows, which he said "lend themselves almost perfectly to what GenAI is capable of doing."
"Perceptis is an operating system for the consultants designed to help them win more business and make consulting - their day job - even more enjoyable and focused on the core of their service," Sapar said.
Advancements in generative AI have disrupted the broader consulting industry, with major firms making huge investments in the technology and establishing dedicated AI units, such as McKinsey's QuantumBlack.
A senior partner at McKinsey told BI last year that he thinks AI is "going to be most of what we do in the future."
