Meet the New Face of Product Development Consulting, Powered by AI
At LA New Product Development Team (LA NPDT) we’ve always believed that great products begin with great conversations, the kind where ideas are explored, questions are answered, and insights spark innovation.
Today, we’re excited to announce a major leap forward in making those conversations more accessible than ever.
Our AI Product Development Consultant, which has already helped hundreds of inventors, startups, and businesses refine their ideas and gain clarity on their next steps, has just received its most advanced upgrade yet.
A Consultant You Can See, Hear, and Talk To
The new version of our AI Consultant isn’t just text-based. It’s a photorealistic video avatar that interacts with you in real time, simulating a one-on-one meeting with a professional product development consultant.
You can speak naturally or type your questions, and it will respond with detailed, accurate, and context-aware guidance, just like a real conversation.
It’s powered by advanced AI trained on our own methods, knowledge base, and best practices, which represent years of product development experience distilled into an interactive, always-available expert.
What the AI Product Development Consultant Can Do
Whether you’re an aspiring inventor or an established company exploring new opportunities, this tool can help you:
• Analyze and refine your idea, identify strengths, weaknesses, and potential improvements.
• Explore market opportunities, get data on market size, trends, and potential demand.
• Estimate development costs and timeframes, understand what it takes to move from idea to product.
• Brainstorm and innovate, explore new features, applications, and opportunities.
• Plan your next step, from concept design and prototyping to go-to-market strategy.
It’s like having a 24/7 innovation consultant in your pocket, free, fast, and insightful.
Why We Built This
At LA NPDT we understand that not everyone is ready to hire a human consultant from day one.
Maybe you’re still shaping your idea, exploring feasibility, or looking for clarity before investing in development. Maybe you just need quick feedback, or a second opinion, or want to brainstorm freely before reaching out to a team.
That’s why we created this AI tool , to make high-quality product design consultancy and one-on-one invention consultant support accessible to anyone, anywhere, anytime.
It’s not a replacement for human expertise, it’s a bridge, a way for innovators to gain knowledge, direction, and confidence before diving deeper.
The Place of AI Consultants in Product Development Consulting
Product development consulting, by definition, involves a partnership between a business and an outside expert or firm that specializes in guiding businesses through the complex process of creating new products and bringing them to market.
In that role a product development consultant can collaborate across departments to help research, plan, design, and refine new products, ensuring all aspects of the development process align with business goals and market demands.
AI-enabled tools like ours help broaden access to this expertise, making what used to be a premium service available to smaller innovators, early-stage startups, and individual inventors.
Human experts bring intuition, empathy, experience and contextual judgment; AI brings speed, data, and accessibility. When combined, they unlock something powerful:

Human experts bring intuition, empathy, experience and contextual judgment; AI brings speed, data, and accessibility. When combined, they unlock something powerful:
- Faster validation of ideas.
- Smarter early decisions.
- Fewer wasted resources.
- Broader access to expert knowledge.
We see this technology not as a replacement for human experts but as a democratizing force helping people who might otherwise never have access to professional product development consulting support get started on the right path.
How Our Approach Embeds the Best of Product Development Consulting and Product Design Consultancy
From the earliest phases of concept generation through to prototyping, testing, and launch, our AI product development consultant reflects the best practices of a full-service product design consultancy.
In practice that means:
- Starting with ideation and guided exercises to explore your product concept from multiple angles, as a traditional product design consultancy would.
- Moving into market and competitor research, validating assumptions and sizing opportunity.
- Designing out potential feasibility and cost challenges, ensuring the design is manufacturable, scalable, and efficient, which is a core role of a product development consultant.
- Aligning go-to-market strategy, regulatory considerations (especially for industries such as medical device design consultancy), cost modelling and lifecycle planning.
- Offering iterative feedback loops, prototype refinement, and decision support that mirror what you’d get from a human innovation consultant.
By embedding all this into an interactive video-AI format we’re making the support of an invention consultant accessible at an introductory level without the need to immediately hire a full consulting team.
Special Focus on Medical Device Design Consultancy
If your focus is the medical sector, you’ll appreciate that medical device design consultancy has unique demands: regulatory compliance, safety and usability requirements, clinical validations, and manufacturing traceability.
A good product development consultant in the med-tech field will ensure your concept moves through ideation and feasibility with an eye on ISO standards and FDA (or equivalent) pathways. Our AI tool reflects those pathways in its guidance , framing your questions around medical-device style considerations, risk mitigation, and market entry hurdles.
That means if you are an inventor or startup in med-tech, you can receive early-stage support to explore feasibility, cost, and strategy tailored for medical device design consultancy, before you scale up with humans.
