How to use Council Mode
Council Mode lets you run 2-4 AI models simultaneously on the same prompt. Compare answers side by side, get an automatic Summary and Analysis of the group, and upload files for all models to analyze together. Mix open source and closed source models in the same session. You can jump straight into Council from the Council entry in the sidebar.

Steps
Step 1: Start a new chat
Tap New Chat from the sidebar, or open an existing conversation.
Step 2: Open the model selector
Tap the model selector at the top of the chat to see the list of available AI models.
Step 3: Enable Council Mode
Toggle on Council Mode. The interface switches to multi-select, allowing you to choose multiple models.
Step 4: Select your models
Pick 2-4 models to compare. Each selected model appears as a chip with an X button to remove it. You can mix open source models (Qwen, Kimi) with closed source models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini).
Step 5: Send your prompt
Type your question and send. Each model generates its own response. You can compare answers side by side.
Step 6: Review the Summary and Analysis, then keep the best response
Once two or more models finish, Anuma automatically runs a judge pass and shows a Summary and Analysis rail (a panel on web, a card on mobile). No button to press — it appears on its own:
- Summary — A single synthesized answer that combines the strongest parts of every model’s response.
- Analysis — A read-out that scores the group on consensus, confidence, reasoning quality, and any remaining uncertainty, so you can see how much the models actually agreed.
From there you can:
- Keep selected — Use the filter to pin only the responses you like, hiding the rest. When you have just one response left, Council Mode auto-commits that response and continues the conversation with the model that produced it.
- Continue with this — Select your preferred response and continue the conversation with that model.
Uploading files in Council Mode
You can attach files (PDFs, images, documents) to your Council Mode prompt. All selected models receive and analyze the same file, so you can compare how different AI models interpret the same document.
Good to know
- Council Mode uses credits for each model that responds. Running 4 models costs 4x the credits of a single model. Learn about credits.
- Most models are available on every plan. Most premium models unlock with Starter; a small set of flagship models (currently Claude Fable 5) is Pro-only.
- You can mix open source and closed source models in the same Council Mode session.
- Council Mode works with the same memory context — every model sees your relevant memories and uses them in their responses.
- The Summary is generated automatically once the models respond; it combines the strongest elements from all of them into one answer.
- When “Keep selected” leaves only one response, Council Mode auto-exits to a normal chat with that model — no extra tap required.
