Meridian
Ex. OpenAI, Palantir, Sandia Labs building the AI operating system for consulting firms
About
Every consulting firm runs on knowledge that's unstructured, unsearchable, and lost when people leave. Generic AI tools don't fix this - they're stateless by design, starting from zero every conversation. Meridian is the system of record that fixes this. Every document organized automatically. Every prior engagement retrievable in seconds. Deliverables generated in the firm's exact templates. After two months, a firm's Meridian instance is irreplaceable. But the software isn't the bet. The bet is the data - behavioral signal on how consulting work actually gets done. You can't download it. You have to earn it one engagement at a time. 4 months in. ~$700K contracted. 3x growth every month since January. Managing partners referring us unprompted. Won bake-offs against Databricks and Palantir.
From their website
trymeridian.dev ↗Meridian is an agentic operating system for management consulting that runs long-horizon advisory work end-to-end inside a firm’s own cloud, grounded in the firm’s own precedent. It unifies the firm’s knowledge into a single source of truth and turns research into deliverables through AI-assisted workflows.
Meridian provides a knowledge-driven workflow: (1) Research – AI-assisted search over the firm’s knowledge base and connected sources to retrieve past work and client context; (2) Synthesize – Smart Folders to organize knowledge by project, client, or topic and connect documents from existing tools with no migration; (3) Draft – AI-generated proposals, decks, and deliverables that adhere to the firm’s templates and voice; (4) Deliver – Client-ready outputs with citations, editable exports to Word/PowerPoint, and end-to-end flow from research to final deliverable. The system is deployed single-tenant inside the firm’s own cloud and integrates with existing tools without migration overhead.
Who it’s for: Management consulting firms seeking an AI-enabled operating system to unify knowledge, accelerate deliverables, and maintain control over precedent and templates within their own cloud environment.
