Built by someone who competed

Made by a national APDA champion, for people who take rounds seriously.

This is not a generic chatbot in a debate costume. Every format runs on the real structure, evidence rules, and register of how that format is actually judged.

Questions

Who do I debate?

Real people. You join the queue and get matched with another debater who is online. If nobody is available, you can fall back to an AI opponent so a round is always one tap away.

Who judges the round?

An AI judge writes a full ballot the moment the round ends. No house style, no favoritism, weighed on the flow.

Which formats can I run live?

Quick Clash, APDA, British Parliamentary, World Schools, Asian Parliamentary, Lincoln-Douglas, Public Forum, and Policy.

Is it free?

Yes, you can start a round for free. Sign in with Google to keep your record, your ballots, and your spot in the community. Google shares only your name, email, and photo. We never sell your data.
