Why Multi-Agent Debate Works

Multi-agent debate outperforms single chat

Argue · Critique · Converge

Multiple agents propose answers, cross-examine one another, and then a selector aggregates the strongest chain. Across tasks, this consistently beats a single model's one-shot reply, using the same base model.

  • Arithmetic accuracy rose from ~67% to ~82% when using multi-agent debate vs. single model output (same base LM).
  • Grade-school math improved from ~77% to ~85% under debate protocols.
  • Reduces invalid steps and improves factual consistency compared to single-pass or simple self-reflection.

Orchestrated Structure

The Adversarial Synthesis Protocol

We don't accept the first answer an AI gives. Instead, we force multiple Agents to debate your question. This stress-test burns away errors and "hallucinations," finding the flaws that a standard chat window misses.

Frame the brief
1

Question & Setup

Define the Challenge Describe your situation and your goals. The system automatically recruits a team of up to 12 AI Agents tailored to your specific problem, ensuring you have the right experts to argue every side.

Gather evidence
2

Research

Before the debate begins, every Agent investigates the topic separately. They gather real-time evidence and cite their sources. This ensures that when the argument starts, it is based on verified data, not just opinion.

State positions
3

Opening Positions

Each Agent presents their case based on the evidence they found. We map out their specific claims, ensuring clear battle lines are drawn before the cross-examination begins.

Structured debate
4

Debate Rounds

Just like a courtroom, the Agents challenge each others evidence. They spot contradictions, rebut attacks, and refine their points. It is a disciplined process designed to filter out weak ideas and keep the focus on the truth.

Synthesize consensus
5

Red Team & Convergence

We look for the holes in the argument one last time. Then, we bring the different viewpoints together into a clear summary, noting where the Agents agree and rating the certainty of the final decision.

Board-ready output
6

Defensible Brief

You receive a polished, board-ready document that withstands scrutiny. It includes the final strategy, full citations, risk assessments, and a record of where the Agents disagreed. It is built to be audited, trusted, and acted upon immediately.

For Product Managers, Founders & Startup Builders

Product Strategy & Go-to-Market

A SaaS team is debating whether to launch a new feature called 'Adaptive Billing.' They need fast, multi-angle reasoning across product, engineering, marketing, finance, and legal to decide if it is worth building and how to validate it before launch.

  • Simulate an AI executive board to stress-test your roadmap.
  • Expose technical, market, and compliance blind spots early.
  • Produce a one-page go/no-go Decision Brief and rollout plan.

For GTM Leaders, Sales Managers & Chiefs of Staff

Enterprise Deal Strategy

A B2B sales team is pursuing ACME Corp. They have an RFP, a known competitor, and limited internal coordination. They need a unified win plan covering stakeholder mapping, ROI story, objection handling, and negotiation levers.

  • Convene an AI deal-desk braintrust spanning sales, legal, and finance.
  • Generate stakeholder maps, ROI narratives, and proof-of-value plans.
  • Deliver a concise Close Plan with next actions and decision owners.
Premium Reasoning Stack

The Best of All Worlds

No single AI is perfect at everything. Some are creative visionaries; others are strict logicians or fact-checkers. We combine them into a single team so they cover each other's blind spots. The creative Agents generate ideas, while the logical Agents check the math giving you a complete, balanced result.
