Working with the Council

Council uses multiple models at once and helps decide which answer holds up best.

In Council mode you choose 2 to 5 models and ask a question. Each model answers independently. Then they can vote on the best answer or synthesize one consensus.

Three Council modes

Classic Council compares model answers. Expert Council is for extremely difficult topics where models should challenge each other. Research Council connects to the internet and grounds the result in current sources.

When to use it

Strategy, legal or technical questions where one model is not enough.
Deciding between multiple options.
Checking arguments, analysis or presentation drafts.
Current topics where web research is required.

Continue in chat

After the result, you can continue with the winning model in regular chat. This is useful when you want to refine the best answer in detail.

Process

Open Council mode.
Choose 2 to 5 models for the task.
Enter the question and choose voting or consensus.
For Research Council, allow internet access.
Use the result directly or continue with the winning model in chat.

When not to use Council

For simple translations, short emails or quick explanations, AI Chat is more efficient. Council is worth it when accuracy matters more than speed.

Expect longer processing

Council runs multiple models. The result is more robust, but slower than a single-model answer.

Common situations

Models disagree

Disagreement is useful signal. Watch why models vote differently and choose consensus or the winning model depending on your goal.

I need speed

Use Chat and a fast model such as Flash, mini, nano or Haiku. Enable Council only for final review.

How to get the most out of the Expert and Research Council?

Our Councils don't use standard AI. They operate in the background with Deep Research class models (Perplexity, Opus, GPT-5.5) and analyze your prompt through strict analytical frameworks. For the system to do its best work, it needs the right input.

The Council automatically detects what you are asking and switches into one of three modes: Business, Science, or Conceptual Analysis.

Tips for the perfect prompt:

Provide context: Before asking your question, tell the Council what situation you are in. (e.g., 'We are a company with $2M revenue and...' or 'I am writing a thesis on...')
Formulate a hypothesis to verify: Councils work best when you give them a thesis to confirm or refute.
Set boundaries: Specify what you are interested in and what the experts should ignore.

Examples of great prompts by domain:

💼 Business and Strategy

Bad: How should I improve my marketing?

Great: "We run a B2B SaaS for logistics. We are considering dropping monthly fees and switching to a model where we take a % of the client's saved costs. Stress-test this decision, identify cascading failure risks (Black Swan), and give a clear GO/NO-GO recommendation."

🔬 Science and Technology

Bad: What are small reactors?

Great: "Analyze the current state of Small Modular Reactors (SMR) development. Find realistic estimates for operational deployment in Europe from primary sources, describe the main engineering bottlenecks, and predict the impact on the energy grid by 2035."

🏛️ Philosophy, History, and Society

Bad: When was Rome founded?

Great: "Analyze the socio-economic factors that led to the fall of the Roman Republic. Apply these historical mechanisms to the current global political situation and identify warning signs that are similar today."
