AI Advisory Board

An AI advisory board
for every strategic decision.

A board of named AI experts who argue your decision and hand back one call — with who disagreed, and what would change it. Your Chief of Staff seats them; nothing runs until you tap.

A board’s card, before anything runs: who sits, the ask, the price. How many seats a board has depends on your plan.

In short

What is an AI advisory board?

An AI advisory board is a panel of named AI experts, each with a distinct remit, that argues a strategic question and hands you back one call — with a confidence that drops when the board splits, never above 90.

It extends what every experienced operator already knows: the best calls come from the friction of strong, different views. A CEO's instinct gets sharper when a CFO contradicts the unit economics and a skeptic asks for proof before the spend. SynthBoard makes that friction available on any question, across 24 named experts.

Who sits
Your Chief of Staff proposes the seats from the bench; name anyone you want on the board. Someone always argues against the obvious answer.
How it runs
Each expert researches alone, then reacts once to the others. Seats are spread across model families.
What comes back
A memo: the call, the conditions it holds under, who disagreed and why, and a first step with a date.
What it costs
A board on Free reads up to 135 credits on its card; one expert reads up to 65 credits.

A market-entry offer and a seed round, each argued from the seats that matter. Examples, trimmed for length.

Germany, or the UK first?

Work · Board of 3

We sell HR software to 40-person companies: $1.1M ARR, all in the UK. A German reseller wants an exclusive deal for next year. Take it, or go deeper in the UK first?

Chief of staff

This is a board call: The Strategist, The CFO and The Skeptic. Each researches alone first, then they react to one another — and on a decision, two of them take opposed sides.

  • The StrategistCompetitive Expert
  • The CFOFinancial Controller
  • The SkepticRisk Assessor

Asked first

Has the reseller sold software like yours before?

Yes, in HROther softwareNot really

The board’s call

Go deeper in the UK this year, and offer the reseller a non-exclusive pilot in one German region instead.

Germany adds works-council rules and German payroll to the product, and an exclusive deal hands the market to a partner you cannot yet measure. A one-region pilot shows within two quarters whether the demand is real.

Confidence64 · Moderate

The Strategist disagreed

“A competitor takes Germany while you wait. A non-exclusive offer tells the reseller you are not serious.”

Raise now, or grow first?

Work · Board of 3

Two angels offered $400k on a $4M cap. We make $18k a month and grow 8% a month. Raise now, or keep growing on revenue for six more months?

Chief of staff

Your board: The Investor, The CFO and The Operator. The Investor thinks like a board, an LP and a later acquirer at once; the CFO checks the months the money buys.

  • The InvestorVC Partner
  • The CFOFinancial Controller
  • The OperatorCOO

Asked first

Are you after the biggest outcome, or the most certain one?

The biggestThe most certainNot sure

The board’s call

Take the $400k now, on the cap — with a twelve-month plan that never needs a second round.

At 8% a month you reach about $36k a month in nine months. The money buys the hires that make that growth repeatable, and the cap is fair for the stage.

Confidence70 · Moderate

The Operator disagreed

“Two hires at once will slow you for a quarter. Hire one, then decide on the second.”

What it gives you

A board that argues.
Then one call you can act on.

Sized to the question

Not every question needs a board. She answers the small things herself, puts one named expert on a question that needs one, and convenes a board for the biggest calls.

Confidence that drops with dissent

Every call shows how sure the board is, what would flip it and who disagreed. A split board is information too — and the minority view stays on the memo.

It starts from your numbers

What you tell her stays on file, with where it came from, so every board starts from your business — not a blank page. Nothing is kept until you say it is still true.

Take it to your real board

Share the memo — the call, the dissent, the first step — as a read-only page anyone can open, or export it as PDF or Markdown.

They ask before they answer

When the answer turns on something only you know, the expert asks first. Tap a chip, or ask for their best guess. Being asked is never charged.

Each one holds a position.

Your Chief of Staff proposes who sits for the call, and every board is built with someone whose job is to argue against the obvious answer. Name an expert and they take a seat; tell her who you want on your board and they sit by default. How many seats a board has depends on your plan.

Questions

Fair questions.
Straight answers.

What people ask before they convene their first board.

What is an AI advisory board?

An AI advisory board is a convened panel of expert AI advisors that argues a strategic decision and hands back one call, with the dissent kept on the memo. Instead of a single AI response, you hear a strategist, a CFO, a skeptic, a marketer, and others argue different sides of the same question.

How is an AI advisory board different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT returns one reply from one model, and it is trained to be agreeable. An AI advisory board runs multiple advisors with different perspectives and different incentives, so disagreement is the default — not the exception. You get a room, not a reply.

Who uses an AI advisory board?

Founders and CEOs running strategic pivots, product leaders prioritizing roadmaps, investors evaluating deals, consultants stress-testing client work, operators making hiring or pricing calls, and anyone facing a decision where the cost of being wrong is significant.

Can an AI advisory board replace a human one?

No — and it is not meant to. Human advisors bring judgment, relationships, and accountability that AI cannot replicate. An AI advisory board is a pressure test you can run at any hour, on every decision, before it reaches your real board.

What kinds of decisions does it help with?

Market entry, pricing strategy, fundraising timing, executive hiring, product prioritization, acquisitions, pivots, co-founder conflicts, career moves, and investment analysis. Anywhere a single confident voice would be dangerous.

How long does a session take?

The card shows the time before anything runs: about a minute for a consult, about 6–10 minutes for a board. You read the memo when it lands; nothing needs you to sit and watch. You describe the decision, your Chief of Staff proposes the advisors (name anyone you want seated), and a memo with the board’s call, the conditions it holds under, who disagreed and why, the risks, and what would change the call. Its confidence drops with dissent and is never rated above 90. Your first move becomes a commitment with a date.

What does it cost?

Free to start — 150 credits every month + 250 to start. Talking to your Chief of Staff is free within a daily allowance. A consult or a board shows its price on the card before anything runs, and nothing runs until you tap.

Is it secure enough for confidential decisions?

Your data is encrypted and isolated per account. Rooms are private by default and shared only when you share them, and a room can run off the record, leaving nothing on file.
