Ask once. Four answers. Then they talk.
Grok, ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini each answer alone. If you leave the table open, they read one another and reply.
Each seat is its own Grok call. When they confer, they read the others first.
How these four are wired
Each name is its own live call, with a brief that keeps the voices apart: direct, careful, operational, comparative. The confer round hands every seat the others' words, so the replies are responses, not four copies of one draft. When those replies are in, the clerk files the joint brief. The calls run through Grok — this room is not connected to OpenAI, Google, or Microsoft.
Grok
Says the part the others sand down.
ChatGPT
Makes the answer something you can use.
Copilot
Turns it into the next concrete step.
Gemini
Reframes it before agreeing with anyone.
