Roundtable 0.1.2

Added

• Roundtable finds the AI apps already on your computer, such as Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI. It uses the plans you are signed in to. An API key is only a backup.
• Personas. Give each seat a role, such as CFO, Head of Sales or Security reviewer. Packs cover business roles, expert panels and simulated views of the big AI labs. You can write your own.
• Quick and Deep Think. Quick is the default: short answers and a short verdict in about 2 minutes. Deep Think is for complex decisions. The coach sharpens the question, the table argues for up to 4 rounds, and the chair writes a long verdict with the reasoning, risks, unknowns, a step plan and the full case against. It tells you first how long it takes, about 14 minutes. The coach suggests Deep Think when a question looks complex.
• The question coach. One AI asks up to three short questions, then writes a brief for the table. You can edit it or skip it.
• A suggested panel. From your brief, Roundtable proposes 2 to 4 seats. Keep them, change them or use your own.
• Blind first round. In round 1 each AI answers without seeing the others, so nobody copies the first answer.
• Verdict shapes: a decision with confidence, pros and cons, an action plan, or a vote. Every verdict names the minority view.
• Follow-ups. Ask the whole table or one seat a follow-up question. The conversation goes with it.
• Files and links. Attach a text file, a PDF or a web page for the table to read.
• Delete a past roundtable, or several at once, with Undo.
• A decision model can rate the verdict: Jev from TypeSafe, or Jebadiah running on your own computer. Settings shows how to get Jebadiah.
• Other providers. Add OpenRouter, Ollama, LM Studio, Groq, Together or any compatible service. Each model you tick gets its own seat.
• Updates. Roundtable checks for a new version when it opens and every 6 hours, and shows what changed. Settings, Updates has the switches.
• What's new. This list, in the app after an update and from Settings.
• A Help menu on Mac and Windows. Roundtable Help opens built-in pages that work offline: getting started, connecting your AIs, personas and rounds, Deep Think and Quick, the decision model, using Roundtable from Claude, and keyboard shortcuts. Each page has a search box and a link to the same page online. Help also has What's new, Online docs, Report a problem and About.
• A full menu bar on a Mac (About, Check for updates, Settings, Edit, View, Window and Help), and File, View and Help on Windows.
• Use Roundtable from your AI. Connect Codex and Cursor with one button, like Claude. Any other AI app gets a setup to copy.
• Share with ChatGPT. One switch gives Roundtable a private web link for ChatGPT, the OpenAI API and Claude connectors. Switch it off and the link stops working. Every call is listed in the app.
• Long roundtables report their progress to the AI app that asked, so it keeps waiting. The verdict comes first and the full transcript comes with it.

Improved

• A new look for every screen, in Roundtable's own colors, with each AI's real logo.
• The verdict comes first: one decision, how sure the table is, what would change it, and three next steps.
• Verdicts are Markdown. Copy one or save it as a .md file. Export a whole session as one file.
• Real debate. After each round the chair names the leading pick and the open differences, and the next round argues them.
• When the answer depends on facts you did not give, the chair asks first.
• Each AI answers in a clean, private space. It cannot see your files or run commands.
• Live cards show each AI as it works, with one fix button when something goes wrong.
• Settings, About says who made Roundtable. Saved verdicts end with a short credit line you can turn off.

Fixed

• The question coach and the chair now read the files and links you attach.
• Grok no longer stops early with "max turns reached".
• An AI that fails or runs out of time is asked once more, unless it is signed out or out of credit.
• A slow network on Windows now shows as a time-out, not a connection error.
• A thinking model from another provider that runs out of room is asked once more, with more room.
• Every version now has its own number, so you can tell test builds apart.

Roundtable v0.1.0

🪑 Roundtable v0.1.0 — the first public release.

A council of frontier models — Grok, Codex/OpenAI, GLM, MiniMax, Claude, and Gemini — convened in parallel from the CLI or any MCP harness, with optional chaired deliberation to consensus.

Install

curl -fsSL https://roundtable.sh/install.sh | bash

Also: pip install roundtable · uv tool install roundtable · brew install frontier-infra/tap/roundtable

Highlights

• Council engine — fan a question to up to 7 heads in parallel; advisory (blind) or --rounds N deliberation with a Claude chair that rules CONSENSUS/CONTINUE.
• API keys are enough — no local CLIs required; missing heads are skipped. roundtable auth (masked, chmod-600 config) + roundtable doctor.
• MCP server — roundtable mcp serve exposes one roundtable tool over stdio to any MCP client.
• Harness auto-wire — roundtable install detects and wires Claude Code (skill + MCP), Cursor, and Codex CLI (idempotent, backs up first).
• One binary, four install paths — curl, pip, uv, Homebrew.
