Section 1
The big idea
Debate prep is research + drilling + memorizing. An AI agent can do the slow parts: build a case file, find counter-evidence, and quiz you with rapid-fire questions.
Some examples
- Agent builds a case outline with 3 contentions and supporting evidence.
- Agent generates the strongest counterarguments your opponent might use.
- Agent quizzes you with 'gotcha' questions and rates your answers.
- Agent tracks which contentions you keep losing on so you can rebuild them.
Try it!
Pick a debate topic. Ask AI to be your prep coach: build a case in 5 minutes, then drill you with 10 hard questions. Spot any made-up sources.
