What is a synthetic advisory board?

A synthetic advisory board is a panel of AI-powered expert advisors that operates like a human advisory board — multiple perspectives, structured debate, synthesized recommendation — but available on demand. Where a human advisory board takes months to recruit and costs real equity, a synthetic board convenes in under a minute and costs pennies per session.

The word synthetic is not a disguise. It is the point. These advisors are not impersonations of specific real people. They are archetypes — the strategist who maps leverage points, the CFO who stress-tests numbers, the skeptic who hunts fatal flaws, the customer champion who asks who this is actually for. Exactly the roles you would try to recruit if you were building a real board from scratch.

SynthBoard is the first platform purpose-built around the synthetic advisory board model. 24 expert advisors. 10 session modes. Multi-LLM under the hood. Shareable sessions you can bring to real advisors, teammates, or stakeholders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a synthetic advisory board?

A synthetic advisory board is a panel of AI-powered expert advisors that operates exactly like a human advisory board — multiple perspectives, structured debate, synthesized recommendation — but available on demand, with no equity, no scheduling, and no politics. Every session ends with a clear recommendation, the reasoning, and the dissents, all shareable.

Who is a synthetic advisory board for?

Anyone making strategic decisions. Founders pre-Series-A who do not yet have a board. Operators and executives who own a single-threaded decision. Consultants running structured reviews for clients. Professionals weighing high-stakes career and partnership choices. The mechanics — multiple perspectives, engineered disagreement, memory, governance — apply universally.

Is a synthetic advisory board trying to replace a real one?

For people who already have a real advisory board, no — it complements one. A synthetic board is a pressure test. Real advisors bring relationships, accountability, introductions, and judgment that AI cannot replicate. The synthetic board makes sure you arrive at the human boardroom with your best thinking. For the many people without a real advisory board, the synthetic board is the version that actually exists.

How is it different from just asking ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is one voice trained to agree with you. A synthetic advisory board is multiple voices with different roles, different incentives, and structural disagreement. A single model cannot genuinely contradict itself — a panel of advisors can. SynthBoard runs each advisor on the LLM provider that best fits its persona, so disagreement is real rather than theatrical.

How much does a synthetic advisory board cost?

SynthBoard is free to start with 250 credits to start plus 150 credits monthly — no card required. Typical sessions cost a few cents to a few dollars. Compare to real advisors at 0.5–2% equity per year, consulting fees in the thousands, or executive coaches at $500+/hour.

Can I invite real humans into the synthetic board?

Yes. Shareable sessions let you bring co-founders, teammates, executives, or real advisors into the room. The AI advisors hold the floor; your humans hold the gavel. Many users use SynthBoard to prepare thinking that they then share with real advisors, boards, or stakeholders.

What decisions does it help with?

Strategic, operational, financial, technical, and personal — anywhere a single confident voice would be dangerous. Pivots, fundraising, pricing, hiring, vendor selection, M&A, product roadmaps, market entry, career moves, partnership decisions, investment analysis. The mechanics are universal; specific session modes shape the panel for the decision type.

Are the advisors impersonations of specific real people?

No. They are archetypal experts — strategist, CFO, skeptic, customer champion, ethicist, futurist — designed to embody the roles you would want on a real board. Each has a distinct remit, cognitive style, and argumentative voice. Each runs on the LLM provider that fits its persona.
