Quick Overview

This chat-driven workflow uses Anthropic Claude to act as a virtual Board of Directors, sending your business idea to five executive agents (CMO, CFO, CPO, COO, and CLO) and then synthesizing their feedback into final board meeting minutes with a verdict.

How it works

  1. Receives a business idea from an n8n Chat trigger session.
  2. Packages the chat input with shared output rules so each executive responds in a consistent rating/pros/cons/action format.
  3. Sends the idea in parallel to five Anthropic Claude agents acting as CMO, CFO, CPO, COO, and CLO for domain-specific critiques.
  4. Merges the five executive responses and formats them into a single Markdown document grouped by role.
  5. Sends the consolidated opinions to a Chairman/CEO Anthropic Claude agent that mediates disagreements and produces final board meeting minutes with priorities, risks, and a GO/NO-GO/PIVOT verdict.
  6. Uses a buffer window memory keyed to the chat session ID to keep the Chairman’s responses aware of recent conversation context.

Setup

  1. Add an Anthropic API credential and select the Claude model for each executive agent and the Chairman/CEO agent.
  2. Use the Chat trigger in an n8n chat interface and copy the generated chat/webhook URL into the client that initiates the conversation.
  3. Optionally edit the output rules text to change the required response schema or level of detail.
