How to Build an AI Advisory Board for Any Aspect of Your Life or Work

Imagine having 25 experts on speed dial who know your entire situation. That's what this is.

This is the most powerful thing I’ve built with Claude, and I’m not exaggerating.

I have a 25-person advisory board that lives inside Claude Cowork. It has a fractional CFO, a brand strategist, a behavioral psychologist, a content director, a legal advisor, an SEO specialist, and 19 other experts. They all know my business — my revenue, my services, my audience, my goals, my constraints.

When I need to make a big decision — pricing, launches, pivots, hires — I bring it to the board. They debate it. The CFO says one thing, the brand strategist says another, the psychologist points out a blind spot I missed. Then I get a synthesized recommendation with dissenting opinions noted.

It’s not real people. But the advice is real. Because the context is real, the expertise frameworks are real, and the multi-perspective analysis surfaces things I would never think of alone.

You can build this for anything. Business decisions. Health and wellness. Parenting challenges. Creative projects. Career changes. Financial planning. The structure is the same — you define the experts, load your context, and run meetings whenever you need perspective.

I’ll help you build your first advisory board in a 1:1 session. You pick the domain, we design the experts, and you leave with a working board you can use immediately.

Intended Audience

This is for you if:

  • You make decisions alone and wish you had a board of advisors to bounce ideas off
  • You want AI advice that's specific to YOUR situation, not generic internet wisdom
  • You're building a business, managing a household, or navigating a career change and need perspective
  • You've seen people talk about AI advisory boards and want to build your own

Curriculum

What you'll learn

Module A

Design Your Board

Who do you need on your board? A CFO? A therapist? A marketing strategist? A nutritionist? Pick your experts based on the decisions you actually face.

Module B

Write the Expert Profiles

Each board member gets a persona — their expertise, their perspective, their communication style. The more specific you are, the better the advice you get.

Module C

Load Your Context

Give the board your full situation. Business numbers, family dynamics, health goals, whatever's relevant. They can't advise you well if they don't know your situation.

Module D

Run a Board Meeting

Bring a real decision to the table. Watch 10-25 experts debate it from different angles. Get a synthesized recommendation. Make a better decision than you would have alone.

FAQ

Anything. I have a business advisory board (33 experts), a baking operations board (26 experts), and a personal brand panel (25 experts). People build boards for health decisions, career changes, parenting, finances, creative projects — whatever you need perspective on.

Surprisingly good. The key is specificity — the more context and expert detail you provide, the better the output. It's not going to replace a real financial advisor or therapist, but it's remarkably useful for thinking through decisions from multiple angles.

Start with 5-10. You can always add more. My biggest board has 33 members. My smallest has 12. The right number depends on how many perspectives you need for your specific domain.

Yes. Teams can share an advisory board as a decision-making tool. It's especially useful for small teams that don't have in-house expertise in every area.
