Use AI to facilitate a consensus-building conversation by generating a discussion guide that surfaces concerns and builds agreement.
When you need to bring people together around a decision but know there are different opinions in the room, going in unprepared can lead to a circular debate that wastes everyone's time. AI can help you design a structured conversation that acknowledges concerns, moves through key decision points systematically, and guides the group toward consensus without anyone feeling steamrolled. Give AI the decision you need to make, the stakeholders involved, and what you know about their differing priorities or hesitations. It will generate a discussion guide with opening framing, sequenced questions that surface concerns early, prompts to identify shared goals, and language to test for agreement at key moments. You'll walk into the meeting with a roadmap that keeps the conversation productive and inclusive. This works especially well for decisions where emotions run high or past attempts have stalled—budget allocation, process changes, vendor selection, or team restructuring. Instead of hoping the conversation goes well, you're actively facilitating movement toward a decision everyone can live with.

“I need to facilitate a meeting where my team decides [describe the decision, e.g., 'whether to switch to a new project management tool']. The stakeholders are [list roles, e.g., 'project managers who want better tracking, team members worried about learning curves, and leadership focused on cost']. Create a 30-minute discussion guide that: acknowledges each concern early, asks questions that reveal shared priorities, helps us evaluate options fairly, and includes check-in language to test for emerging consensus. Format it so I can follow it step-by-step during the meeting.”
