How it works

  1. Pick a topic

    Choose a debate from the ladder, from beginner-friendly questions to expert-level resolutions, or write your own custom topic.

  2. Argue out loud

    You are assigned PRO or CON. Speak your opening, rebuttal, and closing into your microphone while an AI opponent argues the other side. Practice mode lets you type instead.

  3. Get judged

    An AI judge scores both sides on logic, responsiveness, clarity, delivery, and persuasiveness, then gives you specific feedback on what to improve.

  4. Climb the ladder

    Ranked wins raise your ELO (everyone starts at 500); losses lower it. Practice and custom debates are unrated, so you can experiment freely.

New accounts get 100 free credits. A debate costs about one credit per minute of speaking time; more credits are available any time.
