Towards Autonomous Teams

Introduction

Wholegrain’s vision is to progress towards fully autonomous agent teams capable of working on complex consulting projects for extended periods—days, weeks, or even months—with minimal human intervention.

The Evolution of AI in Consulting

The journey of generative AI in consulting has been one of rapid advancement. It began with giving each consultant an assistant like ChatGPT, capable of automating and collaborating on many diverse tasks. Many have subsequently made documentation chattable, enabling new ways to find and connect information, and constuct material for proposals and client work.

Wholegrain has pushed one step futher, providing agents that perform the roles of consultants—such as, engaging clients in conversation and empowering the best consultants to scale their skills. While our agent-as-consultant model represents a significant paradigm shift, allowing AI to take on tasks traditionally reserved for human consultants, these agents still operate within a human-directed framework.

The next revolutionary step—autonomous Agent Teams—takes this concept to an entirely new level. These teams represent a self-organizing, self-directing collective of AI agents working in concert to tackle complex consulting challenges over extended periods.

Autonomous Agent Teams

Autonomous Agent Teams are not merely a collection of individual AI consultants working in parallel. Instead, they represent a cohesive, interdependent network of agents that self-configure the Wholegrain Conversation Architecture to adapt their collective approach to solve multifaceted consulting problems.

Conclusion

We believe autonomous AI Agent systems will unlock tremendous value for consultancies and their clients. We are committed to be leaders in autonomous agent systems for the industry.
