The Council
Terms of use
Last updated: 29 August 2026.
Purpose
The Council is an online service published by EICA. It lets you assemble a council of three to five voices, put a real situation in front of them, and receive an exchange, then a decision. The advisors are artificial-intelligence systems built from the writings of the people they are named after.
By using The Council, you accept these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
Access
During early access, the service is free, limited to three full sessions. Paid plans (Member, Founding member) will open later, at the prices shown on the site at the time of subscription.
The Council may change, suspend, or interrupt the service, including during early access.
Account
An account is required to keep a session. A short trial is possible without one. You are responsible for the information associated with the account and for how it is used.
What The Council is not
The Council is not therapy, legal advice, medical advice, or a substitute for a friend, a lawyer, a doctor, or any qualified professional. Replies have no contractual value. You remain solely responsible for the decisions you take.
If your situation is an emergency, serious distress, or a matter that needs a professional, speak to someone qualified.
Your content
You keep your rights in what you write or say in a session. If you speak, the recording is turned into text and then discarded. Only the text is kept, as if you had typed it. Sessions are private. Nobody reads them. They are not published, sold, or used to train a model.
You agree not to use the service to harm others, break the law, or attempt to compromise the working of The Council.
Liability
The Council is provided as is. EICA cannot be held liable for decisions taken from a session, or for indirect damage arising from use of the service.
Changes
These terms may be updated. The date at the top of the page is the one that counts. Continued use after a change counts as acceptance.
Governing law
These terms are governed by French law. If a dispute cannot be settled amicably, the French courts have jurisdiction.
