# Board of AI Advisors

> A board of AI advisors is a convened panel of expert AI personas that argue with each other on purpose, take positions under pressure, and produce a synthesized recommendation. SynthBoard is the productized version — 24 expert Synths, 10 session modes, free to start.

## What a board of AI advisors is

The same idea as a human advisory board — diverse perspectives, structured debate, synthesized recommendation — implemented with AI advisors. Available on demand, with no equity, no scheduling, no politics. SynthBoard ships 24 expert advisors (Synths) organized across strategy, finance, operations, customer, contrarian, and frontier dimensions.

You convene 2–12 Synths per session, pick a mode, and run.

## Why "board" not "chat"

A chat is one-on-one. A board is many-on-one. The geometry is the entire product:

- A single AI gives you the convergent center of its training distribution.
- A board of AI advisors gives you the divergence — every angle, every framing, every objection — before convergence.

The boardroom is structurally adversarial. Each Synth's incentive is to defend their lane: the CFO defends the numbers, the customer champion defends the user, the skeptic defends evidence, the contrarian argues the opposite case. What survives that pressure is your recommendation.

## What a session looks like

1. **Bring a hard call.** "Should we move enterprise pricing from $50 to $99?" "Should we hire a Head of Growth or a third engineer?" "Is this term sheet aggressive enough?"
2. **Pick a session mode.** 10 modes — Boardroom (collaborative), Idea Lab (divergent), Lightning Round (fast), The Arena (debate), Shark Tank (stress-test), Command Center (option-scoring), War Room (crisis), Deep Dive (long-form), Crystal Ball (forecast), Research Lab (evidence-first).
3. **Pick your advisors.** 2–12 Synths from the 24-expert library. Smart Setup picks for you if you do not want to.
4. **Run the board.** Synths argue, take positions, change their minds when justified, hold firm when not. Multiple rounds. You can intervene mid-session.
5. **Read the synthesis.** Consensus score, primary recommendation, preserved minority opinions, and the audit trail of how the board got there.

## What it costs

Free to start: 250 bonus credits on signup, 150 every month, no card required. A typical Lightning Round burns 30–80 credits. A full Boardroom session with frontier models burns 400–1,200 credits. See [pricing.md](https://www.synthboard.ai/pricing.md) for the full breakdown.

## What separates this from "ask ChatGPT five times with different prompts"

- **Persona depth** — each Synth runs on a 6-layer persona stack, not a system prompt. They hold positions across rounds.
- **Multi-LLM** — Synths are routed to OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google models based on the question. You are not exposed to any single model's blind spots.
- **Synthesis** — purpose-built layer that maps consensus, surfaces minority opinions, and produces an actionable recommendation. Not just five answers concatenated.
- **Memory** — every decision is captured. Cross-session memory means the next call benefits from the last one.
- **Outcomes** — the loop closes. Outcomes are inferred from connected tools, and the board evolves toward what works for *your* problems.
- **Action** — board recommendations can be executed against connected tools (Slack, Gmail, Linear, Notion, 62 integrations) with your approval and 30-second undo.

## Who uses this

- **Founders** — pricing, fundraise timing, hires, pivots, customer fires.
- **Operators and executives** — Heads of Growth, COOs, single-threaded decision-makers, vendor selection, M&A.
- **Consultants and operating partners** — running structured decisions for clients or portfolio companies.
- **Professionals and individuals** — career moves, partnership decisions, personal calls where the cost of being wrong is high.
