What You’ll Learn
- How Fusion mode works
- What the synthesis looks like
- When to use Fusion vs. Sequential
- How to get the best fused results
How It Works
- You send a message
- All 5 AIs process your question simultaneously (not sequentially)
- A synthesis engine reads all 5 responses
- You receive one unified answer that combines the best of all perspectives
What You See
Instead of 5 separate response cards, you get:- The Fused Response - One comprehensive answer synthesizing all 5 perspectives
- Consensus Points - Where all or most AIs agreed
- Divergence Points - Where AIs disagreed (highlighted so you can explore)
- Sources - Which AI contributed which insight
When to Use Fusion Mode
| Scenario | Why Fusion |
|---|---|
| Quick decision needed | One answer, not 5 to read |
| Time-sensitive questions | Parallel = faster than sequential |
| Clear, focused questions | Convergence is likely |
| Need a single recommendation | Synthesis provides one answer |
| Team briefings | One shareable answer |
When NOT to Use Fusion
| Scenario | Use Instead |
|---|---|
| You want to see different perspectives | Sequential |
| The question is controversial | Debate |
| You want to stress-test an idea | Red Team |
| You need a specific AI’s strength | Targeted (@mention) |
| Exploring unknown territory | Sequential |
Timing
Fusion mode typically takes 20-40 seconds:- AIs respond in parallel (not waiting for each other)
- Synthesis adds a few seconds
- Total is faster than Sequential’s 50-100 seconds
Example
Your message:Recommendation: Value-based penetration pricing with rapid escalation. Start below market rate (79-149/mo) to accelerate adoption, then introduce usage-based tiers that naturally grow with the customer. Consensus points:Divergence:
- All sources agree: don’t compete on price long-term in dev tools
- Free tier is essential for developer adoption (3-5% conversion benchmark)
- Value metrics should align with customer success (API calls, builds, deployments)
Bottom line: Launch at 99/seat/mo (team), with a generous free tier. Plan to raise individual pricing within 12 months once market position is established.

- Claude cautions that too-low initial pricing signals low quality to enterprise buyers
- Perplexity cites data showing freemium works for sub-$50K ACV but not above
How Fusion Differs from Sequential
| Sequential | Fusion | |
|---|---|---|
| AI interaction | Each sees previous responses | Independent, parallel |
| Output | 5 separate responses | 1 synthesized answer |
| Time | 50-100 seconds | 20-40 seconds |
| Best for | Deep exploration | Quick decisions |
| Compounding | Yes (AIs build on each other) | No (synthesis combines after) |
| You see disagreements | Inline in responses | Flagged separately |
Tips
- Use Fusion when you want one answer, Sequential when you want the journey.
- If the Fused Response flags a divergence that interests you, switch to Sequential or @mention the relevant AI for a deeper dive.
- Fusion works best with specific, answerable questions. Open-ended exploration works better in Sequential.
- For important decisions, try both: Fusion for the quick recommendation, then Sequential for the deeper validation.
- Fusion is ideal for generating Master Documents quickly - the fused response is already synthesized.
