AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW\/WAGT) – I\u2019ve told dozens of people about this trick. Not one of them had thought of it before I mentioned it. Every single one of them is using it now. <\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the problem it solves: most of us use AI like a search engine with better manners. We type in a question, we get an answer, we move on. <\/p>\n
One voice, one opinion, one point of view. Even though the whole promise of AI is that it can think from a thousand different angles if you just ask it to. <\/p>\n
So instead of asking one AI assistant for one opinion, build yourself a virtual board of directors. <\/p>\n
How It Works <\/p>\n
Let\u2019s say you own a flower shop. Instead of asking AI, \u201cHow do I grow my business?\u201d and taking whatever generic answer comes back, you build a team of advisors, each with their own lane of expertise, their own personality, and their own opinion. <\/p>\n
Open your AI assistant and start a new project. Call it \u201cMy Virtual Board.\u201d Then assign the seats around the table. <\/p>\n
\u25cf Entrepreneur Mark Cuban as your CEO, thinking big-picture strategy and growth. <\/p>\n
\u25cf Marketing expert Gary Vaynerchuk is handling promotion, social media, hustle, and getting the word out. <\/p>\n
\u25cf Branding expert Seth Godin focuses on what makes your flower shop different from the one three blocks away. <\/p>\n
\u25cf A florist with 30 years of experience who knows what\u2019s actually practical on the ground. <\/p>\n
\u25cf Two loyal customers (maybe a wedding planner and a real estate stager) who tell you honestly what would make them buy. <\/p>\n
That\u2019s your board. Six seats, six perspectives, all built inside a single AI project. <\/p>\n
Call the Meeting <\/p>\n
Now, instead of typing a single question into a blank chat box, you call a board meeting. You ask the whole table at once: \u201cHow can I increase Valentine\u2019s Day sales?\u201d <\/p>\n
Here\u2019s where it gets interesting. Instead of one tidy paragraph of advice, your advisors start talking to each other. <\/p>\n
The marketer pushes for a social media push. The branding expert argues for standing out from every other flower shop running the same Valentine\u2019s Day promo. The florist points out the practical challenges: supply costs, staffing, and what actually fits in a walk-in cooler two days before February 14th. The customers weigh in on what would actually get them to click \u201cbuy.\u201d <\/p>\n
The famous names: Cuban, Vaynerchuk, Godin? AI draws on patterns from publicly available material about that person. Interviews, books, articles, tweets, and speeches that show up in AI\u2019s training data. <\/p>\n
You\u2019re not getting an answer anymore. You\u2019re getting a debate. And that debate forces you to think about your own business from angles you\u2019d never have considered on your own. <\/p>\n
You can make it even more realistic by telling AI to have the board members push back on one another. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s Not Just for Business Owners <\/p>\n
This works for teachers building lesson plans, realtors prepping for a listing, small business owners of every stripe, even hobbyists, and readers. <\/p>\n
Say this is finally the year you\u2019re going to read The Odyssey. Build yourself a board of professors and literary reviewers, and ask them to check in on you as you go, ask questions, keep you honest, keep you engaged all the way to the last page. <\/p>\n
The format bends to whatever you\u2019re trying to figure out. The only real requirement is that you assign real expertise and real personality to each seat, instead of asking one flat, faceless assistant to be everything at once. <\/p>\n
Which AI Should You Use? <\/p>\n
All the major AI platforms can technically do this. But in my own testing, I\u2019ve found Claude handles it the most naturally. <\/p>\n
It gives each advisor a distinct name and voice, lets them genuinely debate back and forth instead of just listing bullet points, and, this is the part that surprised me, it will actually stop and ask you questions before it answers, the way a real advisor would if they needed more information before weighing in. <\/p>\n
In describing it to my friends, I\u2019ve found myself saying \u201cMark Cuban told me this,\u201d or \u201cHere\u2019s what Gary Vee suggests\u201d. It\u2019s a small thing, but it\u2019s the difference between reading a memo and sitting in a real meeting.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s almost like your advisors are sitting around a big table in your own living room, arguing about your flower shop. <\/p>\n
The Takeaway <\/p>\n
Most people ask AI one question and take whatever it hands back. But you\u2019ll get sharper, more useful answers if you ask six people instead of one. Even if all six of them are virtual.<\/p>\n
