How Council Counsel Works

Three AI advisors debate your dilemma, then give you synthesized guidance on your decisions.

Meet Your Council

Every dilemma is analyzed by three AI advisors, each powered by separate language models trained by Council Counsel to think differently and provide a varied perspective:

📐 Max

Strategic & Analytical

Max maximizes strategic clarity. Trained to build frameworks, analyze tradeoffs, and provide data-driven guidance, Max cuts through complexity to find your optimal path forward.

Powered by Claude (Anthropic)

🌿 Sage

Creative & Caring

Sage sees the bigger picture. Optimized to reframe problems with empathy, identify opportunities others miss, and help you feel heard and understood, Sage champions your growth while staying grounded in reality.

💬 Frankie

Critical & Honest

Frankie cuts straight to the chase. Honing in on risk mitigation, and keeping you grounded in reality, Frankie stress-tests ideas not to kill them, but to make them stronger.

How It Works

1

You Share Your Dilemma

Describe where you're stuck. Career change? Relationship crossroads? Business pivot? Family conflict? Major purchase? Give as much context as you want—the more detail, the better the guidance.

2

The Council Asks Clarifying Questions

To give you their best guidance, the council needs to thoroughly understand your specific situation. They'll ask 3-5 clarifying questions about constraints, priorities, tradeoffs, and your goals. The more details you give, the more nuanced the recommendations.

You Get Your Analysis

Max, Sage, and Frankie each analyze your decision independently, then debate each other's perspectives. Following their deliberation, you will receive a unified recommendation with clear next steps. Want the full debate? Expand each advisor's response for more detail on each perspective.

Why Three AIs?

Different Models = Different Thinking

Claude, Gemini, and GPT-5 were trained differently and excel at different things. Claude is analytical and strategic. Gemini is creative and holistic. GPT-5 is direct and pragmatic. By using all three, you get perspectives you wouldn't get from one model alone.

Debate Beats Consensus

When AIs agree too easily, they miss blindspots. We force them to challenge each other. Max's framework might miss Sage's opportunity. Frankie's caution might overlook Max's data. The debate surfaces tensions that matter for your decision.

You Get Synthesis, Not Confusion

Three perspectives could be overwhelming. That's why the synthesis pulls it all together—where they agreed (strong signal), where they disagreed (tension to navigate), and what you should actually do.

What Can You Use This For?

Council Counsel works best for decisions where:

Not ideal for: Simple factual questions ("Should I buy this phone?"), decisions where you already know the answer, or situations requiring professional advice (legal, medical).

Privacy & Pricing

Your Data

Your decisions and answers are processed by AI providers to generate responses. We don't store your decision text long-term—we only log session metadata (timestamp, decision length) for rate limiting and service improvement. We use commercial enterprise APIs that do not train on your data. Furthermore, we operate on a "Zero-Retention" policy: we process your dilemma, generate the advice, and then immediately scrub the content from our servers. Because we don't store your data, we offer an ability to use the Resend API to securely email your full Council Report directly to your inbox. You keep the record; we don't.
