Getting started
Run your first AI council
A practical walkthrough from entering a question to reading the synthesis and token receipt.
The basic idea
The fastest way to understand AI Deliberator is to run one bounded question, inspect where the models disagreed, and then refine the question with a follow-up. The visible transcript matters as much as the final memo.
Try a reversible decision with several real constraints, such as whether to apply for a leadership role or begin a certificate program.
How to do it
- 1
Open Ask the council and either use a saved experiment or begin a quick decision.
- 2
Enter the decision and the facts that materially constrain it.
- 3
Choose the roster and rounds, then review the estimated credits. The run proceeds without another approval when the balance covers the estimate.
- 4
Watch positions arrive, then read the synthesis, Consideration Map, token usage, provider cost, and customer charge.
What to watch for
- A consensus can still be wrong; verify important factual claims.
- If a model fails, read the failure policy before treating the remaining responses as a complete panel.
- Do not use the service as emergency or professional advice.
What a useful result looks like
Your first run should leave you with a recommendation, visible disagreement, concrete follow-up questions, and an exact usage receipt.
