AI tools are transforming the daily operations of consulting agencies. They provide a generative solution capable of optimizing project management. From time savings to anticipation and reliable deliverables, AI has become a true strategic lever.
AI Tools: Transforming the Consulting Agency Sector
Artificial intelligence is no longer a curiosity reserved for laboratories or major American tech platforms. It is now part of the daily operations of consulting agencies. Project management, deliverable production, operational tracking, client relations: everything is included. Concretely, how do AI tools change the game? And above all, how can you leverage them intelligently?
AI does not replace the role of a consultant, but it reconfigures the rules of the game. According to a McKinsey study, between 60 and 70% of tasks in consulting can be partially automated or accelerated with AI. In France, many firms are already integrating generative AI into their work methods.
The question is therefore not whether to use a generative solution to improve agency productivity, but how to implement it and for which use cases?
Types of AI Tools for Agencies
No need to overcomplicate things. The most commonly used AI tools fall into three main categories:
Generative AI
Writing summaries, responding to RFPs, automatically populated PowerPoint presentations: a generative solution like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini can save several hours per week without reducing quality.
Machine Learning
Predictive models for sales forecasts, anomaly detection in financial data, dynamic customer segmentation: ML allows firms to move from diagnosis to prediction.
NLP (Natural Language Processing)
To quickly extract insights from reports, contracts, or client verbatims. Who hasn’t dreamed of an assistant that reads 300 pages to highlight the five contentious points in less than 10 seconds?
Smoother Project Management: More Profitable Missions
Where AI tools make a real difference is in project management and task planning daily tasks. Here’s what changes for firms…
Fewer Repetitive Tasks
Automatic note-taking, reports written in 3 minutes, pre-filled dynamic pivot tables: all these time-consuming micro-tasks can be delegated to AI tools. The result? Your teams refocus on analysis, consulting, and value.
Faster, More Consistent Deliverables
No more last-minute presentations or inconsistent slides between consultants. The artificial intelligence allows for standardizing deliverables, generating intelligent templates, and improving readability. Bonus: less stress at the end of a mission.
Data-Driven Organization
Thanks to AI tools embedded in project management platforms (Notion, Asana, ClickUp), you can visualize in real-time the progress status, bottlenecks, budget deviations, or workload peaks. No need to chase after information; it comes to you.
AI-Based Technological Assets
What if generative AI tools also allowed for reinventing the business model of agencies and consulting firms ? Too often, consulting is limited to selling man-hours. However, a firm that structures its assets—internal AI tools, methodologies, databases—can offer high-value packaged solutions.
Here are some very concrete examples:
- A sector benchmark continuously enriched via AI.
- A semi-automated strategic diagnostic platform.
- A ready-to-use customer feedback database.
These assets allow for improved billing, increased efficiency, and most importantly, differentiation from the competition.
Integrating AI Tools to Meet Expectations
Let’s face it: clients are becoming more demanding too. They want faster responses, more refined analyses, more interactive formats. AI tools help you check these boxes… provided you integrate them well into your approach.
More Dynamic Presentations
Instead of the usual 80-page PDF report, why not offer an interactive dashboard, a voice summary, or even a chatbot for presentation? Pioneer firms are already doing this—and clients love it.
More Targeted, More Relevant Advice
Thanks to AI tools and ERPs like Furious, you tailor your recommendations to the sector, context, and client’s digital maturity level… without starting from scratch each time. You gain precision, and thus credibility.
“Thanks to Furious, we’ve gained transparency with our clients. They have access to real-time information, such as project progress or delays, which allows us to increase communication with factual data rather than a simple Excel file that can be modified at any time.”
Quote from Nicolas Quilliet – Wokine
AI Tools in Agencies: Project Management Facilitator
It cannot be emphasized enough: AI does not replace humans; it enhances them. This means supporting your teams during implementation. Therefore, plan for:
- Training on AI tools (and their proper use).
- Workshops to decipher limitations and risks.
- Valuing human skills: critical thinking, interpersonal skills, synthesis.
You become the conductor between human expertise and the algorithmic power of AI tools.
Making AI an Ally, Not a Gimmick
Artificial intelligence is profoundly transforming the daily life of agencies. It doesn’t just “save time”: it allows for elevating the quality of advice, enriching offerings, and retaining clients.
So, do your tools really simplify your life or do they weigh down your processes?
What if now was the right time to transform your routines into lasting assets and make your AI… an asset as reliable as a senior consultant?
The integration of AI tools profoundly transforms the functioning of agencies: automation of repetitive tasks, better anticipation of project risks, more responsive deliverables, more targeted advice. However, for these technological innovations to have a real impact—and not just be a pile of isolated tools—they must be integrated into a coherent, cross-functional, and manageable system.
That’s precisely what the ERP Furious offers. By centralizing commercial, operational, and financial data in a single intelligent environment, Furious allows agencies to make the most of AI while maintaining fine control over their overall performance. Designed for agencies and consulting firms, the management tool centralizes all of a company’s processes, promoting comprehensive and precise activity management through a single dashboard.
Predictive analysis, assisted resource allocation, automated quoting, task planning, billing, real-time profitability tracking: Furious acts as a catalyst. It turns AI promises into concrete results for teams and leaders alike.
You might be Asking Yourself these Questions?
01 What is Automatic Transaction Categorization?
This is an AI-based feature that automatically categorizes your expenses according to their nature, for simplified and more reliable financial tracking.
02 how Does Furious AI Work to Categorize Transactions?
With each import or bank synchronization, the AI analyzes the label, amount, and context to suggest a relevant category and tags. You validate, adjust if necessary, and the tool learns from your choices.
03 What are the Benefits of Automatic Categorization for Financial Teams?
Less manual entry, better accounting consistency, reduced human errors, and significant time savings on recurring tasks.
04 Can You Maintain Control over the Categories Suggested by the AI?
Yes, you remain in control of the suggestions: each classification can be accepted, modified, or refined. Automation supports, not replaces.

Absolutely. The more you use the feature, the more the AI learns from your corrections and offers categorizations tailored to your habits.
06 who is this Feature for?
For financial managers, executives, or anyone looking to automate accounting processing, optimize cash flow, and focus on analysis rather than data entry.
