New AI consultancy builds custom Microsoft 365 Copilot agents for mid-market companies to see progress in days, and launches a Founding Client Program with an initial group of three.
SALT LAKE CITY, UT / ACCESS Newswire / July 7, 2026 / Most companies that have Microsoft 365 Copilot are still waiting to see it deliver. The pilot ran, the priority faded, and it ended up as a glorified search engine. Kinetiv (kinetivconsulting.com), a newly launched AI consultancy, aims to help mid-market companies get faster value from Microsoft 365 Copilot by designing and building custom agents that deliver business results - prototyped in days and adopted in weeks, not months.
Kinetiv's belief is that the hard part was never the technology. For mid-market companies - roughly 100 to 1,000 employees, already on Microsoft 365 - the gap between having Copilot and getting value out of it isn't a software problem. It's a people-and-process one. The capability is there and largely sitting idle; what's missing is a way to put it to work that the business can see quickly and the team will actually adopt.
"Most Copilot projects stall the same way - a long planning phase, a tool-focused pilot, and the priority fades before anything ships," said Daniel Roundy, founder of Kinetiv. "We're helping our clients overcome that. Start with the outcomes that matter and get something working in front of the people who'll use it within a few days. When they see progress early, that momentum is what carries the work all the way to results that stick."
Built for momentum
Kinetiv runs every engagement through its Kinetiv Velocity Method - four phases in a deliberate sequence: Progress (agree on what success and early progress look like, before building anything), Process (map how the work actually flows and where an agent earns its place), People (design with the people who'll use it, so it gets adopted, not resisted), and Platform (build the agent and integrations inside your Microsoft 365 environment - fast, because the earlier phases cleared the path).
The sequence is the point. Most rollouts lead with the technology and stall when the work doesn't fit how people operate. When Kinetiv builds, the outcome is already defined, the process mapped, and the people on board - which is what gets a working agent adopted in weeks instead of months.
Agents that scale your business
Microsoft has made the basics of Copilot accessible - anyone can ask it a question, and its newest features let employees hand off freestyle tasks. The agents that help businesses scale are different: governed, embedded in real business processes and systems, and reliable in daily operations. That's what Kinetiv builds - knowing which Microsoft 365 Copilot capability fits the work in front of it, and shipping the agent that holds up once it's running.
Engagements are senior-led and fixed-fee with defined scope, built inside clients' existing Microsoft 365 environments - no new infrastructure to stand up.
The Founding Client Program
To demonstrate the approach in public, Kinetiv has launched a Founding Client Program working with an initial group of three mid-market companies. Each engagement runs the company's real use cases through the Kinetiv Velocity Method and produces a working agent prototype in the company's own Microsoft 365 environment, with the results documented as a public case study.
