Executive Summary

  • The bottleneck in independent consulting is not thinking; it is the manual labor of documenting, structuring, and formatting what was already thought during the client call.

  • This stack integrates Fireflies.ai for capture, Claude 3.5 Sonnet for synthesis, and Gamma for presentation generation, creating a straight line from voice to deliverable.

  • By leaning on API handoffs and markdown exports, operators can bypass the hours usually spent formatting slides in PowerPoint.

  • At roughly $56 per month, this three-tool system replaces the data-entry and formatting tasks of a junior analyst.
