How AI Eats Consulting

The AI landscape is rapidly evolving, with major players reshaping industries through strategic hires, partnerships, and new service models. As AI systems become more integrated into business operations, traditional consulting firms and enterprise platforms are being forced to adapt or risk obsolescence.
OpenAI is adopting a consulting model similar to Palantir's by embedding engineers directly with clients for custom AI development, often requiring multimillion-dollar investments. Meanwhile, Meta is aggressively recruiting top AI talent and forming a 'Superintelligence' division, while Apple considers partnerships with OpenAI and Anthropic to enhance Siri. The consulting industry is also undergoing disruption as AI automates tasks previously handled by human consultants, challenging the traditional revenue models of firms like McKinsey and Accenture. Additionally, Cursor has launched a new web-based platform for AI coding agents, signaling a shift toward broader accessibility and mobile integration in AI-driven development tools.
