AI
Updated October 12, 2026 • 7 min read
We help professional services firms identify where AI can create real commercial value, then design and build the products, platforms and workflows to make it happen. From transforming how work gets done to creating entirely new services and propositions, we turn AI opportunity into something that works in the real world.

Studio Graphene is an AI-native digital product studio headquartered in London, with studios in Delhi, Lisbon and Geneva. We combine our experience designing and building complex products for professional services businesses with an AI-native approach to product strategy, design and development.
Our work ranges from using Claude Sonnet to help businesses navigate complex procurement opportunities and OpenAI models to match clients with financial advisors, to building bespoke platforms that transform how global professional services teams deliver their work.
AI creates a particular opportunity for businesses built around knowledge and expertise. It can change how work is produced, how knowledge is accessed and how clients are served, while opening up new ways to scale expertise beyond traditional people-led delivery.
Where AI creates advantage in professional services.
Professional services businesses hold huge amounts of knowledge across their people, processes, documents and previous work. AI creates new ways to make that knowledge accessible and useful, while reducing the manual work involved in finding, interpreting and acting on it.
We start with where that creates commercial value. That could mean improving productivity and margins, accelerating client delivery, making expertise more accessible or creating entirely new products and services around the knowledge a business already holds.
The opportunity isn’t simply to automate more work. It’s to identify where technology can make expertise more useful, scalable and valuable.
What AI looks like in practice.
The opportunity goes beyond giving teams access to AI tools. Intelligent workflows, knowledge systems and agentic technology can increasingly research, analyse, interpret and act across processes that previously relied heavily on people.
We've already put that into practice.
For Cimple, we used Claude Sonnet to help suppliers understand procurement opportunities, assess whether they're worth pursuing and navigate complex requirements and timelines.
For ReachX, we used contextual and generative AI to interrogate a database of more than 7,000 advisors and identify the people and teams best matched to individual client requirements. We design these systems around the judgement and expertise that make professional services valuable, combining AI with the right human oversight, existing technology and workflows rather than treating AI as a replacement for them.
Who we work with in professional services.
We work with businesses built around expertise, knowledge and complex service delivery, helping them improve existing operations and client experiences or create entirely new technology-enabled propositions.
Our work with Cimple created a more intelligent supplier experience for public-sector procurement, including AI-powered guidance and smarter opportunity matching. Following launch, supplier onboarding increased by 33%, supplier logins by 56% and 67% of suppliers used the new AI features.
For ReachX, we built an AI-powered system that helps its financial advisory platform identify advisors and assemble teams around specific client needs.
And for global multilingual content agency Locaria, part of Stagwell Group, we designed and built Adaptria, a bespoke platform bringing translation, localisation, SEO, content adaptation and design workflows into a single system, replacing fragmented third-party and manual tools.
Together, those projects reflect the opportunity we see across professional services: using technology to make complex expertise easier to access, deliver and scale.
Why Studio Graphene.
AI-native isn’t a feature we add. It’s how we work. We bring product strategy, design and development together, combining commercial thinking with product, design and engineering expertise to take an opportunity from idea through to production.
Our professional-services experience spans AI-powered products, knowledge and advisory systems and large-scale operational platforms. That means we understand that the value doesn’t come from adding AI for its own sake. It comes from designing technology around the expertise, workflows and judgement that make the underlying business valuable.
300+ high-impact products delivered. Studios in London, Delhi, Lisbon and Geneva. In-house expertise across strategy, design, engineering and emerging technology. Built for today, ready for what’s next.
