EVERY HARD DECISION IS A BAD DEBATE
We build Council because we believe important decisions deserve more than one voice.
I lead teams, teach at university, run side projects, and organize everything for my family. Every time I face a real decision in any of these roles, the same question hits me: am I biased? Am I getting this right? AI should be able to help me think — not just answer.
THE PROBLEM WE SEE
The voices in your head arguing about a big decision are biased, emotional, and unequipped. You deserve better than your own echo chamber.
A board of advisors, a consultant, a therapist — the people who help you think cost money most people don't have. Good deliberation shouldn't be a luxury.
Modern life demands fast decisions. But fast and thoughtful are enemies. Something has to give — and it's usually the thinking.
WHY EXISTING TOOLS FALL SHORT
One model, one perspective, one pleaser. It tells you what you want to hear. That's not deliberation — it's a mirror.
Asking 100 people gives you popularity, not wisdom. The best answer isn't always the most common one.
Real committees have egos, agendas, and lunch breaks. Good in theory. Broken in practice.
The kid choosing a university and the NGO allocating disaster funds both deserve thoughtful deliberation. Neither can afford McKinsey.
THE INSIGHT
What if the debate happened between agents that actually represented different stakes? Not one AI trying to be everything — but many, each with a real perspective, arguing for real. A financial advisor that knows your mortgage. A partner that knows your values. A strategist that challenges your assumptions. What if everyone could have a personal board of advisors?
WHAT DROVE US HERE
I wanted to build my own interactive narrative. So I built autodestroy.xyz — and used a council of characters to push the story forward. It worked. That was the seed of Council Zero.
A friend works with children on the autism spectrum. Each kid is different. Imagine an ecosystem per child — their traits, their triggers, their progress — helping her anticipate and act, not just react.
A friend is running a search fund. He needs to evaluate hundreds of companies against criteria he can barely articulate. A council that debates each opportunity from financial, operational, and market perspectives — that's what he needs.
We're building this from Leganés. It's early. It's ambitious. And we think it matters. If you believe decisions deserve more than one voice, join us.
