What it does

Every AI chatbot tells you your idea is brilliant. That's not validation. That's a yes-man. Council assembles 13 AI expert personas powered by different AI models, each chosen best for their task. They debate your idea, argue with each other, score it independently, and deliver a verdict: Should you: Pursue or Reconsider? Want to go deeper? Market Simulator puts your idea in front of 100+ simulated customers to test real demand. 2,000+ ideas validated. Free tier available.

Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
