From automating repetitive tasks to streamlining complex workflows, AI agents are already everywhere, reshaping how organizations approach productivity and innovation. Yet, adoption remains shallow for many, and agents fail to deliver measurable enterprise-level impact.
Three years after generative AI entered the mainstream, nine out of ten respondents say their organizations are regularly using AI, as per a McKinsey 2025 report on the state of AI. The pace at which the technology is integrated, however, remains largely uneven.
While AI tools are now widely adopted, most organizations have yet to integrate them deeply enough into their workflows to unlock measurable, enterprise-level impact. The MIT Sloan Management Review noted, for instance, that the “jagged frontier” AI has created- where it excels at some tasks while struggling with others- has confused leaders across the board, who need to understand the nuanced reality to guide strategy.
AI adoption outpaces strategy: a solution
In the current fast-paced business environment, where change is the norm, the ability to adapt quickly and efficiently is leadership’s most invaluable asset. Traditional strategies are lagging behind rapid developments, resulting in missed opportunities. AI agents step in- or should- as tools capable of delivering efficient insights and high quality information.
It is within this context that NexStrat AI positions itself. Founded in early 2024 as a strategy-focused AI company by leaders from top consulting firms and the broader industry, NexStrat AI has announced its global expansion phase following positive outcomes from its early enterprise deployments.
NexStrat AI was founded on the promise of such an AI ecosystem. The company provides an end-to-end Strategy AI platform powered by its AI management consultant, Nex, an agentic AI system capable of performing as a real management consultant.
NexStrat AI replaces fragmented AI tools with a unified, enterprise-grade agentic system. The system is designed to deliver AI for strategy, transformation, decision-making, and execution.
The startup launched its agentic AI platform after a year of development, informed by more than 40 years of combined professional consulting and executive experience from its founders, former consultants at Bain & Company, BCG, Deloitte, and PwC.
The results are already tangible: NexStrat AI has been adopted by major enterprises around the world, from Fortune 500 brands to leading global banks and technology companies. Additional pilots and partnerships are also in the works.
The platform’s added value lies in its fully end-to-end approach—which encompasses the entire process- from diagnosis to strategy formulation to execution—instead of focusing solely on isolated tasks.
Its capacity to mirror the structured hypothesis-driven strategic workflows and professional methodologies of elite consultants, while offering unprecedented speed, transparency and scalability, are the true testaments to NexStrat AI’s power.
By providing organizations across the board with strategic analysis, insights, and execution at speeds more than 10 times faster than traditional workflows, acting as a custom AI co-pilot for strategy, and incorporating collaboration features, the platform delivers strategy and action plans, traditionally produced by teams of consultants or internal resources over several weeks in under an hour.
“The traditional consulting workflow hasn’t kept pace with the speed and complexity of modern business,” said Arda Ecevit, co-founder and CEO at NexStrat.
“We built NexStrat AI because enterprises no longer have the luxury of waiting for weeks to get insights and static strategy reports that quickly become obsolete. They need an always-on strategy that’s data-driven and aligned to execution,” he added.
Platform development to global expansion
Since its launch, NexStrat AI has focused on product development in collaboration with its early users. But, while it has already executed major pilots and deployments with leading enterprises across industries, the next big step is crossing international boundaries.
The decision by NexStrat to initiate an expansion phase reflects a broader shift: AI is now being used for strategy, decision making, and execution, moving from a conservative role as an operational assistant to becoming a true strategic partner.
In this context, NexStrat AI is positioned to lead this field through its adoption of end-to-end agentic AI systems purpose built for strategy, transformation, and execution.
“Nex is the first AI agent that can truly deliver this – and actually operate like a consultant,” Ecevit concluded.
