Problem
Consulting and advisory teams spend extensive time drafting proposals, pitchbooks, and market assessments, which slows deal cycles and reduces time for high‑value analysis. Additionally, using generic AI tools raises concerns about data security and compliance, limiting adoption in regulated financial services.
Solution
AnswerGrid (Kenley) provides firm‑specific AI agents that generate client‑ready materials by leveraging a company’s own knowledge base, document templates, and style guides. The agents operate within Microsoft Office applications via add‑ins for PowerPoint, Word, and Excel, enabling rapid last‑mile edits without leaving the productivity suite. All processing occurs on the client’s infrastructure with strict data governance, SOC 2 Type II compliance, and granular access controls, ensuring that proprietary information never leaves the firm. The platform also offers white‑glove implementation to align the agents with each firm’s unique processes, allowing consultants to focus on insight and client impact rather than manual document creation.
Target Audience
Primary customers are consulting firms, advisory boutiques, and investment banks that require fast, high‑quality document production while maintaining strict data security and compliance.
