What is Council of Voices?

Council of Voices is a tool designed to gather multiple perspectives on a single question or topic. Rather than getting one answer, you submit a question and receive responses from various viewpoints, helping you see issues from different angles. This approach is useful when you need to consider a problem thoroughly before making decisions. The tool works on a freemium model, meaning you can try basic functionality for free with limited questions per month, or upgrade for higher usage. It's straightforward to use: ask your question, see what different perspectives emerge, and use those insights to plan your next steps.
