Session Mode

A preset configuration that shapes how Synths behave during a SynthBoard session. The 10 session modes include: Strategic Analysis (balanced multi-perspective analysis), Devil's Advocate (maximizes contrarian analysis), Red Team (focuses on vulnerabilities and attack vectors), Innovation Lab (emphasizes creative and unconventional approaches), and more.
