SynthBoard is built to get you from a question to a structured recommendation without a setup screen. Here is how your first room goes, step by step. The same flow is in the quickstart docs.
Step 1: Tell Her What Is Going On
After you sign up you land on Home: one thread with your Chief of Staff. Say what you are carrying — who you are, what you do, what you are in the middle of — then bring the call in plain language. Be specific. The more context you give her, the sharper the experts will be.
Good example: "We're a B2B SaaS company with 200 customers doing $80K MRR. Should we raise a Series A now at a lower valuation, or wait 6 months to hit profitability milestones that would support a higher valuation?"
Weak example: "Should I raise funding?"
The difference matters. Specific context lets the experts engage with your actual tradeoffs rather than generating generic frameworks. She keeps what you tell her on file, work and personal in separate contexts, and every fact stays yours to correct or wipe. Talking to her is free within a daily allowance.
Step 2: She Proposes the Room
If she can answer it herself, she does. If the call needs judgment, she shows you a card: one named expert for a Consult, or a board for the biggest calls. The card says who sits, how long it takes — about a minute for a consult, 6–10 minutes for a board — and the most it can cost, before anything runs. A consult's card says up to 65 credits; a board's says its own number. Neither bills above its card.
You can change the room on the card. Each of the 24 experts holds a point of view of its own. A few combinations to try:
- Strategic planning: The Strategist + The Devil's Advocate + The Operator + The Data Scientist
- Product decisions: The Designer + The Product Manager + The Futurist + The Skeptic
- Investment analysis: The Analyst + The Skeptic + The Investor + The Ethicist
How many seats a board has depends on your plan. Every board is built with someone whose job is to argue against the obvious answer. On a decision, at least two experts are assigned opposed positions, and the seats are spread across model families.
Step 3: Tap
Nothing runs until you tap the card. On a board, each expert researches alone, then reacts once to the others. When one changes position, the memo says so. You do not need to sit and watch; the memo lands when it is done.
Step 4: Read the Memo
This is where SynthBoard differs from every other AI tool. The memo gives you:
- The call, and the conditions it holds under
- Who disagreed and why, kept on the page rather than averaged away
- A confidence that drops with dissent and is never rated above 90
- A first step with a date, which becomes a commitment
Open the room in place to read it whole, ask the experts a follow-up, or bring a second expert in — they read the conversation so far. You can share the memo as a read-only page anyone can open without an account, and come back tomorrow with new information.
