Maybe it’s a personalized business partner powered by AI - developed using methodologies featured in Harvard Business Review and recognized by Thinkers50.
WE CAN CREATE YOUR PERSONALIZED PARTNERS
What is a personalized partner? It's a digital collaborator that knows your business like an insider, tailored to your unique way of working and industry challenges.
Unlike generic chatbots or off-the-shelf tools, it reflects your logic, language, and priorities — and helps you think, decide, and act.
While the possibilities are endless, here are some of the most common and field-tested examples we've developed either for our own use or for client projects.

HOW WE CREATE THEM
Building an AI Partner that truly works requires a proven methodology.
It’s about capturing your logic, tone, and way of thinking — and turning them into a consistent, smart digital presence.
Development Method across 6 Steps
1. Strategic Scoping – Define vision and optimal archetype
2. Methodology Design – Structure the thinking process
3. Knowledge Integration – Embed your frameworks and insights
4. Behavioral Engineering – Tune interaction patterns and boundaries
5. Validation Testing – Ensure real-world effectiveness
6. Launch & Evolution – Deploy with ongoing refinement
Not just a configuration
Each step involves navigating critical trade-offs: autonomy vs control, speed vs depth, generalization vs specificity.
These design variables require expertise we've developed through years of creating high-performance AI partners.
Technically
AI partners are built using flexible technologies including Custom GPTs, Claude Projects, or other custom solutions — depending on your needs, technical environment, and integration requirements.
TIming
From concept to deployment: 3–8 weeks depending on complexity.
Collaborative process
Walk the Talk Lab works closely with the client to co-design and fine-tune each AI Partner.
We aim to keep things light for you: we do the heavy lifting, especially in the setup, while your input helps shape tone, logic, and boundaries.
Privacy-first approach
All development happens in secure environments. Your business data and methodologies remain completely confidential.

WHO'S BEHIND THIS
Walk the Talk Lab S.r.l is an italian innovative start-up founded by Paolo Cervini, Harvard Business Review author, Thinkers50 Radar-recognized thought leader, and former Capgemini Invent VP.
Paolo pioneered the AI Co-Thinker concept — the idea that AI should amplify human expertise.
What makes our AI partners different isn't just the technology, but the proprietary methodology Paolo created by building them for real businesses.

Our secret isn't the AI models (everyone uses the same ones). Our advantage is knowing how to make them think and work like seasoned experts instead of generic chatbots.
This comes from Paolo's unique combination of:
• 25+ years of strategic consulting across industries and geographies
• Deep AI implementation experience — we work with our own AI partners daily
• Proprietary creation methodology developed through hundreds of iterations
• Thought leadership credibility (HBR, Thinkers50) that attracts sophisticated clients
