Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Consensus Studio
What's a deliberation?
When you ask a question, Consensus Studio queries 4-5 leading AI models simultaneously—Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, DeepSeek—then analyzes where they agree. Each deliberation includes multiple rounds of discussion, resulting in 15-25 individual AI responses. You're not getting one AI's guess—you're getting verified agreement.
Why fewer messages than ChatGPT?
Each Consensus deliberation isn't a single message—it's a full multi-model analysis. When you ask one question, 4-5 AI models respond independently across multiple rounds. Your 50 monthly deliberations represent 750-1,250 individual model responses.
What models are supported?
300+ models including OpenAI (GPT-4o, o1), Anthropic (Claude 3.5 Sonnet), Google (Gemini 2.0), DeepSeek (R1 Reasoning), xAI (Grok), Perplexity (Sonar), and many more. We add new models as they're released.
How is this different from just asking multiple chatbots?
Consensus Studio orchestrates a structured deliberation where each model sees and responds to previous answers. It then analyzes patterns of agreement and disagreement—something you can't easily do manually across 4-5 different chat apps.
What is Blind Deliberation?
During deliberation, models appear as 'Agent A', 'Agent B', etc.—you don't know which AI said what. This eliminates brand bias so you judge responses on merit alone. When you're ready, click 'Complete' to reveal identities and get a full audit trail.
Who is this for?
People making decisions that matter: career moves, business strategy, investments, medical questions, technical architecture. When you need more than one opinion—and want to know if the experts agree.
What does the Studio subscription include?
~50 deliberations per month, access to all AI models, custom studios, and priority support. That's roughly 2 important decisions per day with full multi-model consensus.
Do deliberation packs expire?
Purchased deliberation packs are valid for 12 months from purchase date. Subscription deliberations reset monthly.
Is my data private?
