Are Robot Advisors the Future?

The Slow-Moving Consulting Industry is Ripe for Disruption

Some industries exude innovation. Others, like consulting, have remained largely unchanged for decades—until now. The reliance on traditional methods has made consulting ripe for disruption, and artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to shake things up in a big way.  

With the rise of AI-powered platforms, consulting is no longer just about gut instinct and manual analysis. Companies like Sobo and RAD AI are leading a wave of intelligent consulting solutions that optimize decision-making, enhance efficiency, and deliver real results.

RAD AI: The AI-Driven Marketing Consultant

Poorly executed marketing campaigns cost businesses billions annually. Enter RAD AI, the first AI marketing platform designed to understand emotion and drive ROI-based decisions. Built on $20 million in research and development, RAD AI helps businesses create high-performing content strategies, influencer campaigns, and persona-driven creative decisions.

RAD AI's approach is already making waves, with companies like UBS and Splinterlands leveraging its technology for measurable success. By removing uncertainty from marketing strategies, RAD AI is redefining how businesses engage with audiences and measure impact.

Sobo: AI-Powered Consulting for Real Business Growth

Sobo is set to redefine consulting by integrating AI into the traditional consulting marketplace. The upcoming Sobo Platform is designed to connect the top 1% of fractional consultants with small and mid-sized businesses, ensuring that companies receive high-level strategic insights without the prohibitive costs of full-time hires.

The Sobo Method: AI-Driven, Results-Focused

Unlike traditional consulting firms that rely heavily on manual processes, Sobo’s AI-powered approach streamlines the consulting experience:

  1. Assess: AI-driven data profiling helps identify business performance gaps.
  1. Recommend: A network of top consultants provides diagnostics and tailored recommendations.
  1. Fix: Actionable insights are delivered, ensuring measurable improvements and growth.

Who Stands to Benefit from AI Consulting?

Small and mid-sized businesses are often priced out of traditional consulting services, despite needing expert insights the most. With AI-powered fractional consulting, these businesses gain access to executive-level expertise at a fraction of the cost.

Why AI Consulting is a Game-Changer: Affordability: More businesses can engage top consultants without full-time salaries. Scalability: Companies can access expertise when they need it most, without long-term commitments. Efficiency: AI accelerates analysis and recommendations, allowing businesses to act faster.

The Future of AI in Consulting

While some major firms like McKinsey’s QuantumBlack and Infosys Ltd. have begun exploring AI consulting, smaller, more agile startups like Sobo are pioneering change at a much faster pace. AI-powered consulting is still in its infancy, but its potential is undeniable.  

As Robert Burke, founder of Sobo, puts it: “If left in good hands, AI-powered consulting will lead to more engagements at a more affordable price point. Smaller to mid-sized businesses will be able to weather economic headwinds, human capital challenges, and operational issues, coming out bigger and stronger on the other side.”

The AI revolution in consulting is here. Will your business be ready to embrace it?
