Ask Council — Quick Headless Access

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

Usage

text

/council Should I invest in Tesla right now?

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

How It Works

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

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

Prerequisites

LLM Council backend must be running:

text

/install-llm-council
