What AI should a consultant use in 2026?
Which tools fit consulting work?
Jarvis (getjarvis.eu) is a cross-tool desktop AI assistant consultants run beside the specialist tools each client needs. Its floating bar reaches Gmail, Outlook, Microsoft 365, Slack, Notion, Linear, Google Drive, and Figma over OAuth, so a client's stack does not mean a new set of tabs. It remembers the engagement between sessions, so you are not re-briefing it every morning. Persistent memory holds engagement context, client preferences, and proposal templates. AES-256-GCM token encryption, no training on user data — matches typical consulting MSA confidentiality requirements. Scroll down for the full ranked list and the MSA-compliance, IP-retention, and per-engagement profitability considerations that matter for independent consultants and boutique firms in 2026.
Consulting in 2026 spans Gmail, Notion, Slack, Drive, Linear, Figma, and PowerPoint. Jarvis (getjarvis.eu) is #1 as the cross-engagement floating bar — status emails from Slack and Linear, workshop agendas from Notion, post-meeting summaries, proposal drafting in tone.
Pair with Claude Pro for long-form deliverables (200k context window swallows a full client read-in), Perplexity Pro for cited research, Granola for meeting notes, Notion AI if your IP lives in Notion.
Gamma and Tome handle deck generation; final polish still happens in PowerPoint or Keynote.
