Get a second opinion before you hit send

Run high-stakes emails, pitch decks, and strategy documents past built-in advisor personas before they go out the door.

For: anyone about to send a high-stakes email, proposal, or pitch

If you’ve ever hesitated before clicking send on a critical client proposal, hard email, or strategy memo wishing you had an expert colleague to sanity-check it — this is for you.

When you’re drafting high-stakes material — a client proposal, an investor update, or a sensitive contract response — you need objective feedback. But asking busy colleagues for a quick review takes hours or days, while standard AI chat assistants tend to give generic, overly agreeable praise instead of sharp, constructive critique.

How Council reviews a draft

Dori’s Council feature gives you a panel of advisor personas, each with a distinct role and way of reviewing work. You can consult a single advisor or run your draft through a multi-pass pipeline where each stage builds on the last.

What’s actually driving this, and what it costs

Routing your draft to the right advisor and assembling background vault context are local vault operations, at zero API cost. The review synthesis and critique itself is the part that uses your connected AI provider.

How to use Council for reviews

Depending on what you’re sending, you can choose the depth of feedback you need:

• Single Advisor Review: Ask a specific advisor to evaluate your draft against one angle.
• Multi-pass Pipeline: Run a sequence of advisors, where each stage sees the previous one’s output — for example, a logic check first, then a tone-and-clarity pass.
• Context-Aware Feedback: Advisors review your draft alongside background files in your vault — checking whether your proposal matches past client promises or agreed pricing.

Quick setup

A real-world example: Reviewing a $50k client proposal

Say you’re preparing a major consulting proposal for Meridian:

1. The Initial Draft: You write the proposal using context Dori already knows about Meridian’s Q4 priorities.
2. Consulting an advisor: You run the draft past a skeptic-style advisor. Instead of saying “Great job!”, it highlights a vulnerability: “You promised a 4-week delivery timeline, but previous meeting notes show Meridian’s IT team requires a 3-week security review phase.”
3. Refining the Proposal: You adjust the timeline, run a tone-focused pass, and click send with complete confidence.
