14 consultants became 3

McKinsey had a problem. They charge premium rates for smart people to research and analyze - work AI can now do faster.
Their solution: build an army. 12,000 specialized AI agents trained on 100 years of firm knowledge. Teams that once needed 14 consultants now run with 3.
The grunt work - research, synthesis, document formatting - dropped 30%. The humans focus on client relationships and strategic insight.
