AI for consulting should produce more than answers: work you can audit, repeat, and hand to a client. Here’s one from Capitol: AI, measured against America’s big bets since 1803. americanledger.usecapitol.co…
A consulting firm's decades of expertise should be the starting point for its AI.
At @capitolai, we’re helping firms like EY turn that expertise into world-class work product, with their own methods, sources and standards built in. For consulting and financial services, our ambition is to make that institutional memory useful in every assignment.
This new film introduces what we’re building, and the conviction behind it:
You can’t prompt your way to trust. You have to design it.
2026 is the year water cooler conversations go from ideas to full flight in a matter of days on the @capitolai platform. Meet the Prop 40 tracker. It's an interactive voter information source that two members of our team came up with and built in a day because they found California's paper voter information pamphlet confusing.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella wrote that a company renting an AI model “essentially pays for intelligence twice”:
Once in money, and again in the proprietary knowledge it has to reveal to make the model useful.
This mechanism is called the learning loop: every prompt and correction captures some of the company's know-how.
That knowledge is distilled and, with a closed model, the provider keeps that information.
If your usage data is worth more than the token cost to serve, providers might end up paying you to use their models. The precedent exists: OpenAI created an opt-in program that gives accounts up to 1M free tokens a day on certain models in exchange for training rights on that traffic.
Chips can be rented and algorithms can be leaked or distilled, but the prompts and corrections flowing through a model compound privately for whoever holds them.
Government services touch us every day, moments big, small, and sometimes frustrating. Accessing them should be simple. Good design is how that’s done.
Good design is an experience that just works. And my dear friend @jgebbia and the @ndstudio just made the biggest step forward in digitally enabled government services for the United States, since the internet was invented.
What impressed me most was everything Joe and his team did to make this pipe dream a reality. He brought together tier 1 talent from industry and worked across government to turn a vision into something people can actually use. That takes craftsmanship, creativity, and care. This is a bi-partisan foundation where the bar is high.
Congratulations to the National Design Studio. 10/10, no notes. 🇺🇸
