Ownbox for consulting firms
The machine we'd build
for your consulting firm.
A consulting firm runs on inquiries, proposals, projects, hours and invoices. This is the AI business machine we would build around them, and what your Ownbox already does on day one.
Running today
Your inbox at 8 AM and this morning's review.
You don't wait for this machine to start. On any Ownbox foundation, the Inbox Machine, our unified inbox, and the AEO Machine already work for a consulting firm.
Jordan L.Thanks for the proposal. Could you split the work into two phases so we can start smaller?
Happy to. I'll put together a two-phase version, with the first phase covering the audit and the plan. When do you need it by?

What it would do
One machine, every department of a consulting firm.
Sales
- Every inquiry answered and a first meeting booked
- Proposals drafted from your rates and past work
- Proposals that went quiet, followed up on a schedule
Marketing
- Client results turned into each channel's post, with permission on file
- A case study drafted when a project wraps
- A monthly note to your network on what you're seeing
Operations
- Project milestones watched, with anything slipping flagged early
- Meeting notes turned into tasks and follow-ups
- Each client's documents kept in one place
Finance
- Hours tracked against each project's budget
- Invoices sent on schedule and overdue ones chased
- A weekly one-pager of revenue by client
People
- Who is on which project, and who has room, every morning
- Contractor agreements watched before they lapse
- Onboarding checklists for new consultants that actually run
What it keeps
Its own records, and the agents that work on them.
- Clients, contacts and their history
- Proposals and what they were priced at
- Projects, milestones and hours
- Invoices and what's still owed
- Your rates and past work
The agents inside
- IntakeAnswers every inquiry and offers times to meet.
- ProposalsDrafts each proposal from your rates and past work.
- ProjectsWatches milestones and hours, and flags what's slipping.
- BooksSends invoices and drafts the chase.
Nothing goes out that you haven't allowed: every message, proposal and invoice waits for your OK until you tell it otherwise.
