Anthropic and OpenAI are both building PE-backed consulting arms to deploy AI inside companies.
Let that sink in for a second.
The two companies building the most powerful AI on earth looked at the market and said "businesses can't figure out how to use this. We need to go in and do it for them."
They are literally telling you where the gap is.
Companies have access to the best AI models ever built. And most of them are still running on spreadsheets, disconnected tools, and manual processes because nobody showed them how to actually implement it.
That's the whole game right now. Not building better models (obviously) or shipping new features.
IMPLEMENTATION.
Getting AI inside real workflows.
Mapping the processes, building the systems, and making it stick.
I've been doing exactly this for 4 years and have worked with 80+ companies at this point.
It started with automation and naturally flowed into Ai.
And every single engagement starts the same way. Not with AI or automation but with a process map.
Because AI alone won't fix broken operations.
Companies now understand that. They have not yet seen true ROI from Ai.
You have to understand how the business actually runs before you touch a single tool.
Where does the data live? Where are the bottlenecks? What's manual that shouldn't be? What breaks when volume goes up?
That's the work, and that's what Anthropic and OpenAI just told the entire market is worth billions.
Every company is going AI-first over the next 3-5 years.
The demand for people who can actually make that happen is about to be unlike anything we've seen.
The labs told you where the gaps are.
Now go fill them.
