Problem
Enterprises often struggle to initiate AI projects because they lack systematic methods to gather, analyze, and synthesize stakeholder insights at scale, leading to costly trial‑and‑error and delayed value realization.
Solution
Lichen AI provides an agentic platform that automates the early stages of AI product discovery. Its conversational AI conducts large‑scale interviews via voice or text, capturing rich qualitative data from users and business stakeholders. The platform then applies automated social‑science techniques, such as thematic analysis, to transform raw transcripts and contextual documents into structured insights. Based on these insights, Lichen AI generates actionable deliverables—including product requirement documents, PRDs, operational specifications, and strategic recommendations—to guide buy‑build‑partner decisions. The solution is complemented by consulting experiences like workshops, mentorship, and code‑athons that help teams adopt AI‑centric processes and accelerate implementation.
Target Audience
Primary customers are enterprise product teams, innovation labs, and corporate strategy groups that are planning or early in AI implementation projects.
