The brief

Consilium asks several AI models to debate a question before answering. The process is unusual and easy to dismiss as a gimmick. The homepage needed to make it feel serious and accountable, show the debate itself rather than describe it, and be dramatic and still easy to read.

The idea

A council. Old Master paintings of councils and courts already show people deliberating and reaching a verdict, which is exactly what the product does.

Key decisions

Paintings hung on a light wall

Why

Pages full of dark paintings felt heavy and hard to read.

Effect

The art keeps its drama while the interface stays calm and easy to scan, like a gallery.

One worked example throughout

Why

Abstract claims about accuracy are easy to dismiss.

Effect

Following a single question from prompt to signed verdict shows the process and the audit trail in action.

Show the disagreement

Why

Teams in regulated industries need to see disagreement.

Effect

A recorded dissent in oxblood makes the product look more trustworthy, not less.
