Hear it in action
Listen to how the AI debates at different levels. Same topic, completely different conversation.
AGI Before 2028?
Will Artificial General Intelligence—machines that can reason like humans across any domain—arrive by 2028? Or are fundamental barriers keeping true machine intelligence decades away?
Resolved: Artificial General Intelligence will exist before 2028

What happens after the debate
Listen to two AI debaters argue, then discuss what you heard with your Assistant.
That was a heated round. So—who do you think won?
I'd give it to the Con side. The argument about every AI timeline prediction being wrong was hard to counter.
Interesting call. What do you think was the strongest argument made—on either side?
Pro had a good point about the exponential scaling. But Con's "Bitter Lesson" rebuttal was sharper.
If you were debating the Pro side, how would you have responded to that?
Maybe cite specific capability jumps? GPT-3 to GPT-4 was a bigger leap than anyone predicted.
That's a strong counterexample. Want to try arguing that position yourself in the next round?
Every debate ends with personalized feedback and scoring.
ChatGPT broke assessment
You already know this. Essays don't work anymore.
of students use AI in their studies
use generative AI for assessments (up from 53% last year)
false positive rate on AI detection in real-world testing
The answer isn't better detection. It's changing what we assess. You can't fake a live debate.
Debate is cheat-proof
When students defend ideas in real time against an AI that pushes back, there's nowhere to hide. They have to actually think.
Voice-to-voice, real time
Students speak. The AI listens, responds, challenges. Sub-500ms latency means natural conversation flow—not awkward pauses waiting for a response.
Scored on what matters
Our Dialogical Proficiency rubric measures evidence use, reasoning quality, engagement with counterarguments, and synthesis. Validated against expert human judges.
Lives in Canvas
Add debate assignments like any other. Students launch from their course page. Scores flow back to your gradebook automatically. No separate logins.
What you actually get
Authentic assessment at scale
Every student gets a one-on-one debate. That used to mean weeks of class time. Now it happens asynchronously, and you get scored results.
AI that doesn't hallucinate
76%+ of citations are perfectly validated against real sources. When the AI makes a claim, it can back it up. (ChatGPT: 0%)
Perspectives that stay consistent
The AI embodies 50+ coherent worldviews—not random position-switching. Students engage with genuinely different perspectives.
Grades you can defend
Full transcripts. Rubric-aligned scoring. When a student asks "why did I get this grade?" you have the receipts.
From assignment to grade
Three steps. Five minutes to set up.
Create a debate assignment
Pick a topic or let students choose. Set the format and difficulty. The AI adapts—middle schoolers get accessible arguments, AP students get pushed harder.
Students debate
They click into the assignment from Canvas. The AI introduces the topic, takes a position, and they're off. Voice-to-voice, 5-15 minutes.
You get scored results
Dialogical Proficiency scores land in your gradebook. Drill into transcripts. See where students struggled, what they did well.
Works across the curriculum
Debate isn't just for debate class.
Speech & Debate
Tournament prep. Case development. Rebuttal practice. AI opponent runs the positions your students will actually face.
Practice rounds on this year's resolution—Policy, LD, or PF formats.
English & Rhetoric
Argumentative writing starts with argumentative thinking. Students who can defend ideas verbally write better essays.
Debate the thesis before they write the paper.
Science
Defend experimental design. Argue interpretations of data. Explore the philosophical foundations—like quantum mechanics.
The Spooky Action debate: Is entanglement evidence of hidden variables or fundamental nonlocality?
Social Studies
Take positions on historical decisions. Argue policy from different stakeholder perspectives.
"Should the US have entered WWI?" Argue both sides.
Built on real research
This isn't a wrapper around ChatGPT. It's two years of funded R&D on AI debate systems and dialogical learning.
NSF SBIR Phase I & II
Competitive federal grants validating the technical approach and commercial potential. ~$1.75M non-dilutive funding.
Dialogical Proficiency framework
Assessment rubric grounded in Dr. Robin Alexander's dialogic teaching research—RCT showed +2 months learning gains in English, Science, and Math.
AI that beats human debaters
In double-blind tournament conditions, our system outperformed human experts by 11.6 points and major LLMs by 31.1 points on argument quality.
