About FifthRow

FifthRow replaces human-driven analysis and consulting work with a dedicated agentic workforce tailored to your function. Choose from 150+ expert-built apps or build your own. Research, synthesis, validation, reporting: the structure and depth a real team would produce, delivered in minutes instead of weeks.

The Problem

Corporate teams are already 40% understaffed. Generic AI tools make it worse.

Most teams lose 1-2 days each week to research, analysis, and consultant communication. The work that never gets done piles up because of lack of people, time, or budget.

Instead of adopting AI-native processes, most teams layer generic AI tools onto legacy workflows. Every output must be verified, stitched together, and quality-checked. Consultants follow the same playbook, layering tools behind the scenes while presenting them as proprietary advantage.

The end result is more complexity, not more bandwidth.

The Solution: Agentic Workforce

FifthRow delivers your research, analysis, and reporting with an autonomous workforce that runs your entire function: faster, cheaper, and always on.

Flows: Teams of agents working together to achieve a singular goal. Complex consulting processes where agents share context and follow structured approaches according to best practices.

Apps: 150+ expert-built apps encoding proven consulting playbooks. Each powered by autonomous teams of agents working in concert to deliver complete, cited, presentation-ready outputs.

Shields: Supervisor agents checking quality and hallucinations. Source insight quality vetting and cross-checking. Immutable ledger of used sources.

Datasets: Tenant-level vector database for your company. Combine intelligence from both public and private data. SOC2 and GDPR compliant.

Why FifthRow Is Different

Agentic, Not Assistive: This is not a chatbot. FifthRow runs end-to-end processes with teams of autonomous agents. Research, analysis, synthesis, reports. The entire workflow, not a single task.

Consulting-Quality Outputs: Every app encodes proven consulting playbooks designed by domain specialists. Outputs are exportable to PDF, Word, or PowerPoint. Every run is benchmarked against analyst hours.

Trustworthy AI Infrastructure: Source insight quality vetting and cross-checking. Supervisor agents checking quality and hallucinations at every layer. Immutable ledger of used sources.

Enterprise-Ready Security: SOC2 and GDPR compliant. No training on private data. No reselling of your data. Private data saved in separate per-account database.

Continuous, Not Project-Based: Build it once, run it always. Turn one-off projects into always-on workflows with memory and context. Run it daily, weekly, or on demand.

Scale Without Headcount: FifthRow keeps working after hours, handles more volume than a full team, and logs every step so results stay transparent. Add 40% more FTEs to your team without hiring.

Why I Partnered with FifthRow

"I've watched great commercial ideas stall because research cycles drag and teams wait for decks. FifthRow fixes that.

It's the first platform I've seen that turns AI agents into repeatable, enterprise-grade market research, innovation, and strategy workflows. Not a chatbot. Not an assistant. A workforce.

The proof is in the outcomes: A Fortune 500 tobacco company saved 3 months of manual work. A Japanese auto manufacturer hit their full-year venture target in Q1. An insurance company saved $100,000s in professional services.

When enterprise clients need to move faster than their consulting engagements allow, FifthRow is the answer. Months of strategy work collapse into hours. Teams move before the market shifts."

- Jason Hauer, CEO, HauerX Holdings
