The AI board of advisors for small business
Put your toughest decision before a council that argues back.
A Chairman and four specialist AI advisors — operations, growth, innovation and finance — debate your plan out loud, push back where it's weak, then deliver a decisive verdict with next steps. In your boardroom, in their voices.

They argue so you don't have to guess
In Ask the Board LIVE, viewers drop questions in the chat and the board answers on air. In episode 1, Charlotte (growth) and Alexander (operations) explain how the board helps a business, who it's for, and then argue about whether to fix the process or chase demand first.
How the board works
One chatbot gives you one agreeable answer. A board argues first — so the weak spots in your plan surface before you spend the money.
Bring the decision
Type or say what you're weighing — a price change, a first hire, a new location, a big purchase. The board already knows your business from your profile and what you've connected.
They argue it out
Each advisor takes a position from their own lane. Operations asks if you can deliver it, growth asks if anyone will buy it, finance asks what it does to cash. You hear them disagree, out loud.
Get the verdict
The Chairman weighs the debate and decides: agree or split, the reasoning, and the next actions — saved to your office so the board follows up on them next time.
Meet the board
Five AI advisors, each with one lane and one voice. Together they work like an AI advisory board you can convene any time — about your business, not a blank prompt.
Jonathan Pierce
Runs the meeting and delivers the verdict. Weighs every decision for long-term outcome, not this week's mood.
Alexander Weiss
Turns plans into a process that holds up. Speaks up when execution, crews or capacity are the real bottleneck.
Charlotte Bauer
Customers, pricing, brand and sales. Calls out activity that looks busy but isn't bringing in revenue.
Dr. Sophia Chen
AI, automation and tools. Tells you when new tech changes the game — and when it's a distraction.
Gabriel Morales
Cash flow, margins, deals and funding. Checks whether the ambition still works once the numbers are in.
The board members are AI personas — fictional characters, not real people. Their names and titles describe each advisor's role on the council.
Decisions the board helps with
Pricing
Raise prices, add a cheaper tier, or hold? The board tests the change against your customers, margins and competitors.
Hiring
Is it time for the first salesperson, a second crew, an office manager? What the role must pay back, and how fast.
Cash flow
Slow-paying customers, a big equipment purchase, a lean season. What to cut, what to chase, what to finance.
Marketing & growth
Which channel to spend on, what to say, and how to tell whether it's working before the budget's gone.
Operations
Missed deadlines, rework, a process that only works when you're there. Where it breaks and who should own it.
AI & tools
Which software or AI is worth adopting now, what it replaces, and what it will really cost to switch.

Frequently asked questions
What is an AI board of advisors?
An AI board of advisors is a panel of AI advisors that look at the same business decision from different angles, argue about it, and hand you a verdict, instead of one chatbot giving you one agreeable answer.
Ask the AI Council is a five-member AI advisory board: Chairman Jonathan Pierce and four specialists — Alexander Weiss (operations), Charlotte Bauer (growth), Dr. Sophia Chen (innovation) and Gabriel Morales (finance). They debate your decision out loud, push back where the plan is weak, and the Chairman closes with a decision and next steps.
How is it different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is one model giving one answer, and it tends to agree with how you framed the question. The council assigns each advisor a different lane on purpose — can we deliver it, will anyone buy it, what does it do to cash — so the disagreement surfaces the weak spots before you spend the money.
It also remembers your business between conversations, so you don't paste the same context every time, and the Chairman always ends with a decision rather than a list of considerations. Many owners use both: ChatGPT for drafting, the council for expensive decisions. See the full comparison.
Are the advisors real people?
No. Every board member is an AI persona — a fictional character with a fixed role, point of view and voice. The names and titles (including “Dr.”) describe the character's lane on the council, not a real person's credentials.
Behind the personas, the council runs across multiple leading AI models. Treat its output as a well-argued second opinion, not professional advice.
Who is it for?
Small business owners, founders, solopreneurs and small teams making high-stakes calls — pricing, hiring, cash flow, a new location, a big equipment purchase, a pivot or a partnership — who want to be argued with before they act. There are tailored setups for industries like restoration, trades and agencies; see by industry.
How much does an AI board of advisors cost?
Pro starts with a free first week, then $29.99 a month; it includes the full board, voice and the verdict, saved history and export. Pro Business is $69.99 a month and adds multiple businesses and a shared team workspace. Enterprise pricing is by request. A credit card is required for the free week, and you can cancel anytime from your office profile.
For comparison, a single human advisory-board seat or fractional executive typically costs far more per month — the council is meant to sit alongside those advisors, not replace them.
Do the advisors really speak?
Yes. Each advisor debates in their own distinct voice, so you hear the disagreement and the verdict instead of only reading it.
Is it available in Spanish?
Yes — the council runs in English or Spanish. Switch the language toggle at the top before you start and the whole conversation runs in that language.
Is this financial or legal advice?
No. The council provides general business analysis generated by AI for planning purposes — it is not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Verify independently and consult a licensed professional before acting.
