Vertical AI for how a consulting firm actually runs
Lumiere is the vertical AI platform for IT consulting firms. We didn't build a generic AI tool and ask consultancies to bend their workflows around it. We built our schema, our matching, and our content tools on the operating shape of a real consulting firm - the people, the requirements, the rates, the bench.
Why we built this.
We came out of consulting firms ourselves, so we knew the operating reality before we started building. The answers to most daily questions — who's free, what's open, where are margins going — already exist somewhere in the firm's data. They just live across five systems and three Slack threads, and assembling it takes up valuable time.
​
Generic AI tools don't help with that. They were trained on the public internet, not on your bench.
Lumiere is the alternative: a live data layer over the firm you already are, an LLM that has read your records, and AI tools that know what an SOW looks like and what a senior architect with the right Azure certifications is worth on a Tuesday morning.
What we believe.
The data is the asset.
A consulting firm's edge is in its records — the consultants, the engagements, the rates, the bench. Most firms can't read their own records fast enough. The fix isn't more dashboards. It's making the records fresh, queryable, and yours.
AI should write your firm. Not the other way around.
Generic AI tools ask you to flatten your operating language into theirs. Vertical AI inverts that. Lumiere speaks consulting because it was built on consulting firms' data and workflows. Your team edits substance, not boilerplate.
Your model. Your tenancy. Your call.
AI is moving fast and procurement is moving slowly. The right answer is to give consultancies the choice, bring your own LLM inside your own cloud, or use ours with the same security guarantees. Switch when you're ready. Never train on your data, ever.
Who's building Lumiere
Our team is built of industry experts in both consulting and AI. Our founders built their own consultancies and sold them to global firms. Lumiere is the tool we wish we'd had while running them. Headquartered in Montreal, the second-largest AI community outside Silicon Valley, with global reach to consultants and firms worldwide.
