Argument Research Assistant
An AI research partner that finds credible sources, fact-checks claims, and suggests evidence to strengthen your arguments.
The Vision
Great debates are won with great evidence. The Research Assistant is your AI-powered research partner that scours credible sources, finds relevant statistics, and helps you fact-check both your arguments and your opponent's claims.
Instead of spending hours searching, describe your argument and let AI find supporting evidence from academic papers, reputable news sources, and verified databases. It even suggests counter-arguments so you can prepare rebuttals.
