polylogue

Multi-LLM structured debate CLI. Enter a topic, and AI assembles an expert panel with distinct personas to run a structured discussion using deliberation protocols.

Quick Start

npx polylogue "Should AI systems be open-sourced?"

Or install globally:

npm install -g polylogue
polylogue "Should we adopt microservices?"

Setup

On first run, polylogue will interactively prompt you to choose a primary provider (Anthropic or OpenAI) and enter your API keys. Credentials are saved to ~/.config/polylogue/credentials.json.

You can reconfigure at any time:

npx polylogue configure

Features

• 6 deliberation protocols: Round Robin, Devil's Advocate, Dialectical Inquiry, Nominal Group Technique, Stepladder, Delphi Method
• Auto protocol selection: LLM picks the best protocol for your topic
• Role-based model assignment: Each persona gets a model suited to its role (reasoning, creative, web search)
• Multi-model support: Claude Sonnet, Claude Haiku, GPT-4o with web search
• User intervention: Pause and redirect the discussion at any time (Esc×2)
• Session transcripts: Auto-saved as JSONL
