Open source. Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Mistral and local models.

Debate it before you build it.

Several AI models design your software project separately, challenge each other's plans, and an independent arbiter turns the debate into a decision report.

From €3 per debate, no subscription required. Prefer to host it yourself? The code is open source on GitHub.

Quorumind is a service, online or installed on your own server, where several AI models from different companies debate a software or technology decision before you commit to it. Business owners, agencies and consultants describe their project, each model proposes a solution and criticises the others, then an independent arbiter delivers a decision report: the option to choose, its risks, its costs and the conditions for it to work.

Why several models

One model has blind spots. A panel has fewer.

Ask one AI and you get a plausible answer that nobody challenges. Quorumind makes models from different vendors argue first.

One model

Three models from different vendors

Illustration, not a measurement: each model raises a different set of issues, and their union leaves fewer gaps.
  • Plausible is not enough

    A single model can sound sure and still be wrong. A second model with its own plan is the cheapest reviewer you will find.

  • Different vendors, different blind spots

    Models trained by different companies miss different things. Mixing them brings out what one alone would skip.

  • Disagreements stay visible

    When the models do not agree, the report says so. Nothing is averaged out or smoothed over.

  • Hard constraints decide

    If an option breaks your budget, your deadline or a rule you set, it is marked not feasible, however good it looks.

Your panel

Up to four debaters, each with an expert persona, plus a devil's advocate and an independent arbiter.

  • Cloud architect
  • Security
  • Cost control
  • UX
  • Data-protection lawyer

Devil's advocate

Attacks every option, including the favourite.

Arbiter

Spots a too-easy consensus and raises the angle nobody examined.

How it works

From your first answer to a decision

Eight stages. You stay in control at the two that matter: validating the requirements and answering the questions that change the outcome.

  1. 01

    Interview

    An AI interviewer asks about goals, budget, team, existing tools, constraints and priorities.

  2. 02You

    Requirements

    You review the requirements sheet and validate it before any design starts.

  3. 03

    Blind proposals

    Each debater designs a solution without seeing the others, so nobody anchors on the first idea.

  4. 04

    Critiques

    Debaters read each other's plans and file critiques rated blocking, major or minor.

  5. 05You

    Your answer

    When your answer would change the outcome, the debate pauses and asks you.

  6. 06

    Revisions

    Each plan is revised against the critiques it received, or defended with reasons.

  7. 07Arbiter

    Verdict

    An independent arbiter rules on each option, scores the matrix and raises any angle nobody examined.

  8. 08Arbiter

    Report

    You get a decision report to read, share or hand to your coding agents.

Debate replay

Watch the arguments land

A short replay of a textbook case (a chain of 12 clothing shops that wants to sell online), then its decision matrix. Move the weights and the ranking follows, as it does in the app.

Demo with sample data
  1. Debater A, software architect

    A turnkey e-commerce platform on subscription: online in about six weeks, and payments are handled for you.

  2. Debater B, cost control

    An open-source shop installed by the agency: more flexible, and no commission on every sale.

  3. Devil's advocate

    Who applies the security updates every month, and who answers on a sales Saturday if the site goes down?

  4. Arbiter

    Nobody has looked at the stock. Your till software updates it only once a night: how do you avoid selling online an item already sold in a shop?

  5. You

    Our till provider offers real-time stock sync, as a paid option.

Use cases

  • Agency pre-sales

    Turn a client brief into a defended proposal before the quote.

  • A startup's first version

    Decide what to build first, with the budget and the team you actually have.

  • Migrating an existing system

    Move it as is, adapt it or rebuild it: compare the three against your real constraints.

  • Challenge my idea

    Bring your own plan and let the models hunt its flaws.

The deliverable

Anatomy of a decision report

The arbiter does not just name a winner. It shows its reasoning, so you can check it, share it and act on it.

  1. 1

    Recommendation

    The option to build and the conditions that come with it.

  2. 2

    Interactive decision matrix

    Each option scored against your priorities. Re-weight the criteria and watch the ranking change.

  3. 3

    Debate map

    Where the debaters agree, where they are divided and where they are opposed.

  4. 4

    Risks and mitigations

    What could go wrong, how likely it is, and what to do about it.

  5. 5

    Cost per option

    Build cost and monthly running cost for each option, marked as estimates.

  6. 6

    Architecture diagram

    A generated diagram of the recommended option.

  7. 7

    Roadmap and claims

    Phases and milestones, and every claim marked verified, estimated or assumed.

For coding agents

Debate before your agent writes code

Quorumind runs as an MCP server, so Claude Code, Codex or Cursor can call a debate before they start a feature. The verdict comes back as a plan they can follow.

  • A hand-off pack with CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md and PLAN.md
  • Decisions recorded as ADRs in your repository
  • Works with any MCP client
Example session

Before adding sign-in, run a Quorumind debate: build it or use a provider?

Debate started: 3 debaters, 1 devil's advocate.

Verdict: use a managed provider, feasible with conditions.

Your data

Private by design, local if you host it

Choose what reaches the AI providers. Self-hosted in fully local mode with Ollama, nothing leaves your machine.

  • 100% local mode

    Self-hosted, run every role on local models with Ollama. No AI provider account, nothing sent over the internet.

  • Personal data masking

    An option replaces e-mails, phone and card numbers, IBANs, IP addresses and secret keys before anything is sent to a provider.

  • Export, deletion, retention

    Export all your data, delete it, and set how long sessions are kept.

  • Share on your terms

    Share a read-only link, or publish a debate to the public gallery when you choose to.

  • European models only

    Run a debate, or every debate in a workspace, only on models from Mistral AI, a European company, running in the EU; self-hosted, you can use local models instead. The report says which route the requests took.

  • Compliance checks

    Add the rules that apply to your project, such as GDPR, health data, the public sector, finance or online sales. The report shows how each option meets them.

  • Web research without your data

    To check prices, versions or rules, a debate can search the web with short, generic queries only: never your documents, your answers or personal data. Debates on European models only do no web research.

Cost

What a debate costs, and the cap that holds

Every debate has a running cost: AI providers charge for the text their models read and write. In the cloud, you pay the fixed price of the debate's tier and never more, because that price caps what the models may cost. Self-hosted, the app shows the cost by role as it runs and stops at the cap you set.

Illustration, not a measurementCap
How the cost of a debate splits by role, drawn as an illustration. Self-hosted, the amount depends on the models you choose and the size of the project, and the app shows it live; in local mode, the models cost you nothing. In the cloud, the price of the tier covers it.

Features

Everything a hard decision needs

Built for decisions you will have to explain to a client, a manager or your future self.

  • Framing templates

    Start from a web app, a mobile app, data and AI, a migration or an online shop.

  • Capped costs

    Cloud: the fixed price of the tier, never more. Self-hosted: the cost by role as it runs, and a limit you set.

  • Mix vendors per role

    Claude, OpenAI, Gemini or Mistral, chosen for each debater and the arbiter, and Ollama models when self-hosted.

  • Ten languages

    Debate and report in your language. Arabic is displayed right to left.

  • E-mail notifications

    Get an e-mail when the debate needs your answer or the report is ready.

  • White-label reports

    Agencies deliver reports under their own brand on hosted plans.

  • Open source

    AGPL v3. Read the code, run it, change it.

Four modes

Pick the depth of the debate

A full comparison for a big decision, a quick round for a small one, a stress test of the plan you already have, or an audit of the quote you received.

  • A few questions

    Express

    One set of interview questions, then a single short round. A clear answer in a few minutes.

  • Your solution

    Challenge my idea

    Describe the solution you have in mind. The models hunt its flaws and tell you what would make it hold.

  • A provider's quote

    Audit a document

    Attach the quote, statement of work or architecture a provider sent you, and say what it is for. The models check it against your need: what is missing, what is vague, whether the days and the price hold up, and the questions to send back.

    Example: a web agency quotes €38,000 for a booking website. Is it consistent? What is missing?

FAQ

Questions and answers

What is Quorumind?

A second opinion on a software or technology decision, given by several AI models instead of one. You describe your project or your question, models from different companies (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Mistral and others) each propose a solution and challenge the others, and an independent arbiter writes a decision report. It is used to compare solutions, test an idea before investing in it or check a quote from a provider, in ten languages.

How does a debate work, and how long does it take?

An AI interviewer first asks about your goals, budget, team and constraints, and you validate the requirements it writes. The debaters then design their options without seeing each other, criticise each other's plans and revise them; when your answer would change the outcome, the debate pauses to ask you. The arbiter rules last. An Express debate gives a clear answer in a few minutes; a full comparison takes longer, and you get an e-mail when the debate needs your answer or the report is ready.

How is it different from asking a single AI?

A single AI gives a plausible answer that nobody challenges. In Quorumind, models trained by different companies, with different blind spots, design their options separately, then look for each other's flaws, and a devil's advocate attacks every option, the favourite first. Disagreements stay visible in the report, and an option that breaks your budget, your deadline or a rule you set is marked not feasible.

Who is it for?

For anyone who has to make or defend a technical decision, developer or not: business owners, freelancers and consultants, web agencies preparing a proposal, and teams comparing software or planning a migration. The report can be rewritten for a technical lead, an executive or a non-technical client.

How much does Quorumind cost?

In the cloud, each debate has a fixed price, AI models included, shown before it starts: €3 for Express, €7 for Standard (compare solutions, challenge an idea or audit a document) and €15 for Deep. Credits start at €10. Monthly plans include debates of any tier (a Deep debate counts as two): Solo at €49 a month for 6 debates and one person, Team at €199 for 25 debates and up to 5 people, Agency at €499 for 60 debates and any number of people. Self-hosted, you pay your AI provider directly for what your debates use, under a cap you set, or nothing with models running on your own machine.

What does the report contain?

A recommendation, the feasibility of each option, an interactive weighted matrix, a debate map, risks with mitigations, estimated build and monthly costs, an architecture diagram, a roadmap and claims marked verified, estimated or assumed. It can be rewritten for a CTO, an executive or a non-technical client, and exported as Markdown, PDF, Word or ADR.

Which AI models can I use?

In the cloud, Claude, OpenAI, Gemini and Mistral models, among others, through OpenRouter, with no account of your own at these providers. Self-hosted, the providers you connect with your own accounts, and local models through Ollama. You choose the model for each role: interviewer, debaters, devil's advocate and arbiter, and you can mix vendors.

Is my data sent to AI providers?

Yes, to the providers of the models that play the roles: in the cloud, through OpenRouter; self-hosted, only to the providers you configure. An option masks e-mails, phone and card numbers, IBANs, IP addresses and keys before sending. Self-hosted in fully local mode with Ollama, nothing leaves your machine. You can export or delete your data and set how long sessions are kept. Quorumind does not use your debates to train models, and nobody at Quorumind reads them unless you share them, ask us to, or the law requires it.

Can my data stay in Europe?

Yes, with conditions. Self-hosted with local models, nothing leaves your machine. Otherwise, the European models only option has every role played by a model from Mistral AI, a French company, on its servers in the EU, but the requests reach it through OpenRouter, a US company: debate content stays in Europe only when OpenRouter's EU region is used, and even then OpenRouter may store account and billing metadata in the United States. In the cloud, the service and its data are hosted in France, and payments go through Stripe, which may transfer data to the United States. Each report says which route was taken. Owners and admins can turn the option on by default, or make it required, for their whole workspace.

Is Quorumind free, and can I host it myself?

The self-hosted version is free and open source, under the AGPL v3: you install it on your own server with Docker and pay your AI provider directly for what your debates use, or nothing with models running on your own machine. The cloud version is paid: a fixed price per debate from prepaid credits, for one person, or a monthly plan with debates included, for one person or a whole team.

How do I cancel a plan?

A plan renews every month until it is cancelled. An owner or an admin of the workspace cancels it at any time from the Billing page, through the "Invoices and payment methods" link, which opens Stripe's customer portal. The cancellation takes effect at the end of the current month, and the plan stays usable until then; the month already started is not refunded. Credits, for their part, never expire.

Can coding agents use it?

Yes. Quorumind runs as an MCP server, so Claude Code, Codex or Cursor can start a debate before coding. Every report also exports as a hand-off pack with CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md and PLAN.md.
