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.
