An AI Advisory Board for every strategic decision.
An AI advisory board is a panel of expert AI advisors who debate your decision in real time and produce a synthesized recommendation with consensus scoring. Not one voice — a room.
What is an AI advisory board?
An AI advisory board is a panel of expert AI advisors, each with a distinct perspective and expertise, that debates a strategic question with you in real time and produces a synthesized recommendation backed by consensus scoring. Unlike a single AI chat, an AI advisory board is structurally adversarial — advisors are assigned different roles and incentives, so genuine disagreement surfaces blind spots a single model would miss.
The concept extends a pattern every experienced operator already knows: the best decisions come from the friction of multiple strong perspectives. A CEO's gut instinct gets sharper when a CFO contradicts the unit economics, when a customer-facing PM asks whether the user wants this, and when a skeptic demands proof before approving the spend. An AI advisory board makes that friction available on demand — across 24 expert advisors, 10 session modes, and every strategic question you bring.
SynthBoard is the first platform purpose-built around the AI advisory board model. Every session ends with a clear recommendation, the reasoning behind it, the dissenting views that were overruled, and next steps you can act on or share with your team.
What an AI advisory board gives you
Every session is structured to produce signal, not noise. Every advisor does a specific job. Every recommendation comes with receipts.
24 expert advisors
Strategy, analysis, finance, operations, marketing, human perspectives. Each advisor has a distinct remit and argues their corner.
10 session modes
Boardroom, Devil's Advocate, Red Team, Shark Tank, War Room, and more. Each mode shapes how the advisors engage with your question.
Consensus scoring
Every recommendation shows where advisors agreed, where they split, and how confident each was. Strong consensus means something. Weak consensus means something too.
Engineered to challenge
Advisors are incentivized to disagree — not to please you. That is the difference between a chatbot and a board.
Minority opinions preserved
When an advisor dissents from strong consensus, the dissent is highlighted — not buried. Often the minority view is the one that saves you.
Shareable outcomes
Export the full session — reasoning, recommendations, dissents, next steps — and share it with your co-founder, team, or real advisors.
