Cutting research and drafting cycle time in half with agent-assisted delivery
A professional-services firm put agents on its highest-volume work — research, first drafts, and client intake — and redeployed senior talent to the judgment clients pay for.
High document and process volume — research, first-draft proposals and memos, and client intake — pulled senior professionals off billable, high-value work. Proposal turnaround was slow, and quality depended on who happened to be free.
KOI built agents for the firm's repeatable knowledge work: a research-synthesis agent that gathers and summarizes source material, a drafting agent that produces structured first drafts of proposals and memos in the firm's voice, and an intake agent that captures new-client information into a clean brief. Everything runs through the firm's own systems, with a professional reviewing and owning every output.
- ◆Research synthesis
- ◆First-draft generation (proposals, memos)
- ◆Structured client intake
First drafts arrived in hours instead of days, senior staff spent their time sharpening rather than starting, and the firm won more of the proposals it chased — while every deliverable still carried a named professional's judgment.
“Our people do the thinking; the agents do the assembling. Clients get better work, faster.”
