What is AI good for?

To be fair, it’s a trillion-dollar question. If you believe the latest from J.P. Morgan, AI investment contributed 1.1% to GDP growth in the first half of 2025 — more than the contribution of every U.S. consumer combined. Play with ChatGPT for 20 minutes and you see that LLMs have the potential to be useful. But between the mind-boggling capital outlays, the unwelcome summaries of emails that were one sentence to begin with, and the neat Studio Ghibli edits, it’s hard not to see a gap. For all the talk about replacing workers, we need human experts more than ever.

Clairvoyant Research was founded upon this insight. What is AI good for? At the moment, it’s the little things. It can turn text into speech, summarize a conversation, and answer basic questions fluently. What it can’t do is map a noisy market for a high-stakes investment. It can’t say what real people think about a particular product or use judgment to peer through hype and hallucination. For all that, your firm still needs to be speaking with the right people.

Using AI to Power Human Insights

I wouldn’t be launching Clairvoyant Research if I weren’t well acquainted with the problems of old-school expert networks. As a consultant at L.E.K. Consulting, I remember running seven hours of back-to-back interviews, typing verbatim notes until my hands cramped. Teams would source experts themselves because the networks struggled to put the right people in front of us. And the issues went beyond inconvenience. We would have held hundreds of interviews if that had been possible. Instead, we were limited by how many people our team had time to speak with.

That experience made one thing clear: expert networks hadn’t kept pace with the modern research process. At Clairvoyant Research, we’re building a world-class business to change that. Gone are the days of manual primary-research campaigns. Our next gen AI platform surfaces industry leaders, conducts interviews, and synthesizes insights into clear, compliant takeaways. It’s AI doing what AI is good at — asking questions instead of answering them. With a scaled research motion out of the box, your team will be free to focus on the important part: making sense of what the market is saying. Hear from all the right experts. That’s your firm’s AI crystal ball. That’s being clairvoyant.
