# Ask the AI Council

> Ask the AI Council is an AI board of advisors for small business owners, founders, and solopreneurs. Instead of one chatbot answer, a five-member AI advisory board — a Chairman and four specialist advisors (operations, growth, innovation, finance) — debates your business decision out loud, in their own voices, and the Chairman delivers a decisive verdict with next steps. Available on the web and on iPhone, in English and Spanish.

The council is used for high-stakes calls such as pricing, hiring, cash flow, new locations, equipment purchases, pivots, and partnerships. It remembers your business between conversations. It runs across multiple leading AI models (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok) with voices by ElevenLabs. Output is AI-generated general business analysis for planning purposes — not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.

## The board

All five board members are AI personas (fictional characters, not real people); names and titles describe each advisor's role.

- Jonathan Pierce — Chairman: runs the meeting, weighs the debate, delivers the verdict
- Alexander Weiss — Operations: execution, crews, capacity, process
- Charlotte Bauer — Growth: customers, pricing, brand, sales
- Dr. Sophia Chen — Innovation: AI, automation, tools
- Gabriel Morales — Finance: cash flow, margins, deals, funding
