AI consulting is reshaping industries, and understanding the statistics behind this transformation is crucial. In the following sections, we delve into insights from Myles Harrison, an expert in AI solutions, and examine academic and government research on AI adoption trends. “There's a lot of inflated expectations and a lot of hype, which is what I usually like to talk about.” — Myles Harrison, Founder & Principal, PRAKTIKAI
In the rapidly evolving landscape of cloud infrastructure consulting, Edward Barrow's data provides critical insights into how businesses are navigating this complex terrain. His expertise, forged through years of experience and collaboration with major cloud providers, offers a firsthand look at the challenges and strategies in managing cloud spend. Cloud infrastructure is now the largest non-human cost for many technology companies and startups. — Edward Barrow, Founder and CEO, Cloud Capital
As of 2026, AI search has fundamentally changed the landscape of public relations. Data collected by Patrick Brightman across numerous engagements reveals that AI tools are becoming crucial for building brand visibility and thought leadership. According to Brightman, ChatGPT and Gemini are leading the charge, with ChatGPT receiving over five billion monthly visits, making it the fourth most visited website globally.
Across AI consulting, cloud economics, and AI search, the pattern is clear: the winners will be the ones who connect strategy to measurable operational leverage. Teams that align AI use cases, control infrastructure costs, and earn visibility inside AI-driven discovery channels will compound advantage faster than those still treating each as a separate problem.
Last month, 375,204 founders and global executives tuned in to the Software Oasis™ podcast network to learn. For the first time, you can stand in front of that influential audience—plus our community of top-3% consulting, SaaS, and creator founders and
executives—through a single sponsorship opportunity.
The next edition lands Tuesday, with a deeper look at how consulting, cloud, and search are converging into one AI-first operating reality.
P.S. Reply with the area you’re most focused on right now—AI delivery, cloud cost control, or AI search visibility—, and I’ll prioritize it in a future issue.
