Parley
About Parley
Parley provides a shared conversation space where users, teammates, and multiple AI models interact simultaneously. Unlike standard AI chat tools, it facilitates real disagreement among participants rather than consensus-building. The platform allows users to invite AI models from different providers into the same room, where they can challenge assumptions, review each other’s claims, and conduct peer reviews before finalizing answers. Participants can assign specific roles such as Skeptic, Advocate, or Premise Challenger to structure debates. The tool supports web research with source citations and drafts shared documents that evolve as the conversation progresses. Consensus summaries highlight areas of agreement, disagreement, and uncertainty without forcing a majority vote. A Chrome extension enables on-page discussions without copying content into separate tabs.
