Ask Council — Quick Headless Access

Get LLM Council's synthesized answer without leaving your chat.

Usage

/council Should I invest in Tesla right now?

Returns the Chairman's synthesized answer after all models have debated.

How It Works

1. Sends your question to the LLM Council backend
2. Waits for Stage 1 (all models respond)
3. Waits for Stage 2 (models rank each other)
4. Returns Stage 3 (Chairman's final synthesis)

Takes 30-60 seconds — models need time to deliberate.

Prerequisites

LLM Council backend must be running:

/install-llm-council
