About

Debatable.

Debatable is one of the names for the AI debate sparring app at debateai.com — a voice-first product that lets you pick a motion, take a side, and argue out loud against an AI opponent in the register of the chosen debate format. At the end of the round, the AI writes a judge ballot: speaker points, central clash, winner. The product surface uses three names interchangeably: Debate AI (the canonical product name), Debatable (the personality word — this page), and Debate it (the CTA verb on most buttons).

What Debatable does

Debatable is built for the kind of practice debaters actually do: speak under a clock, get pushback, take POIs, then read a judge's reasoning. The AI opponent is format-aware — Policy spreads tagged cards, APDA stays impromptu, BP runs whip extensions, LD argues value/criterion. The whole engine is engineered for the register switching a general-purpose chat tool can't do.

Ten formats

The AI side

Debatable's AI runs on six brains: Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, and Open Lab (Nous Hermes / Mistral / Qwen pool). Different brains handle different tasks — case generation, judging, rebuttals — based on what each model does best. Voice rounds go through OpenAI Realtime over WebRTC with sub-200ms latency, so the AI can interrupt and take POIs without feeling like a chatbot.

The learning loop

Every typed turn and every voice transcript writes to an internal corpus. A nightly pass distills the top-rated rounds per format into a "patterns that work" block that gets injected into the system prompt on every subsequent round. The AI on a given motion this week is meaningfully different from the AI on the same motion last month.

Is Debatable the same as DebateAI?

Yes. The product is Debate AI, hosted at debateai.com. Debatable is the personality word the brand uses for body copy + this page — same engine, different name, same domain. The three names you'll see across the surface (Debate AI, Debatable, Debate it) are all the same product.
