Founding story + community Debate it
Speaker points, winner, reason for decision. AI does this well, at a fraction of what a human judge costs.
The round turns on Pro's structural-harm framing against Con's network-value defense. Pro documents declining adolescent mental health, algorithmic misinformation, and attention moving away from local institutions. Con answers with crisis coordination, diaspora reach, and small-business access.
Pro wins on persistence: captured attention does not return to local institutions, and the mitigations Con relies on do not exist yet. Con's counterfactual-access argument keeps the margin narrow at 28 to 26.
Today, the AI judge explains who won and why. Next, the people watching will vote on which side persuaded them. Across many rounds, those votes can show which arguments move DebateIt participants. That is platform feedback, not a scientific poll of the wider public. See where rounds happen in the Debate Atlas.
The Polymarket of debate. Every round is a market on one question: which side will the AI judge vote for? Take a position while they are still speaking. The ballot settles it seconds after the round ends, and the earlier you called it, the more it moves your Sharp Score.
The market model, applied to rounds instead of world events. The AI ballot is what settles every market.

Ranked across every format.
BP sits next to APDA sits next to PF. The ballot is written by the same judge either way, so the scale means the same thing in every row.

The real gap between circuits isn't talent, it's access to quality practice. Debatable closes it. The AI argues back at full strength, and the ballot tells you exactly where the round was won or lost.
Proof that AI can sharpen critical thinking rather than replace it. You can tell how much thought went into every layer, from case generation to the objectivity of the judging.
In four years of British Parliamentary, I'd never seen a tool able to summarize, refute, and analyze high-level argumentation until I used Debatable. It would have made a real difference in my prep for international majors.
In a world where we can outsource our thinking to AI, we need more tools to keep us sharp. Debatable is the chess.com of debate.
Short answers. If something's not here, the last one routes to a real inbox.
A sparring partner with a clock and an opinion. Pick a motion and a side; the AI takes the other and argues.
You speak against the clock. It interrupts with POIs. At the end an AI judge writes the verdict: who won, why, a score per speech.
Fifteen formats. Fourteen languages. Free in beta.

It argues, it does not fabricate. It presses soft claims, asks for warrants, and tells you when your logic collapses. It will never invent studies, cards, or tournament lore.
The harder problem is the opposite: it can sound too complete, missing the texture of a real round.
Most hand you a wall of generic text. No clock, no format, no judge.
This runs a live round: a motion, a side, a clock that does not pause. It takes POIs in WSDC, reads at Policy speed, stays impromptu in APDA, then writes a real ballot.
It still says wrong things. Catching them is the drill.
Fourteen. English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Mandarin, Arabic, Hindi, and more. Switch from the language pill and the AI argues, takes POIs, and writes the ballot in whichever you pick.
Quick Clash. Three-minute rounds, no rules to memorize. You take a side, the AI takes the other, the clock runs.
When that feels easy, /learn covers each format with rules, sample topics, and how judges score.
Not for the first round. After that, sign in with Google to save ballots across devices and switch on style learning, where the next opponent is biased against your habits.

No.
What would be cheating: running it mid-round at a live competition, or passing AI-written case copy off as your own original prep.
You pick. Quick Clash is three minutes. A full APDA round is about 45, BP about 60. Stop mid-round and it counts as practice.
