Example debate

“Should social media require age verification?”

2 AI perspectives
YouI need the strongest arguments on both sides for a policy essay. Should social media require age verification?
ElenaPro (AI)

We verify age for alcohol and gambling because of demonstrated harm. The research on minors and heavy social media use is now strong enough to meet a similar bar.

AlexContra (AI)

Verification means identity checks for every user. That is a privacy cost for billions of adults to imperfectly filter a minority, and determined teens will bypass it.

Verdict

Strongest for: consistency with how society already regulates proven harms to minors.

Strongest against: the privacy cost falls on all users while enforcement stays leaky. Next step: research privacy-preserving verification methods, since they decide which side wins.

§ 01 · Why Debatly

What you get

In short

An AI argument generator produces structured arguments for and against a claim. Debatly does this through a live debate: two or more AI personas argue your topic over up to 5 rounds, rebut each other, and an AI judge names the strongest argument for and against. You get arguments that have already been stress-tested, not just a list.

01

Steel-manned, not strawmen

Each persona is prompted to argue the strongest version of its side, so you see the best case, not a caricature.

02

Built-in rebuttals

In multi-round debates, personas respond to each other, so every argument comes with its likely counter.

03

A verdict you can use

The AI judge summarizes the debate and picks the single strongest argument for and against.

04

Any perspective you need

Add an economist, an ethicist, a skeptic or a devil's advocate to cover angles you would miss.

05

Ready for writing

Turn the structured output into an essay outline, debate case or pitch notes in minutes.

  2. Pick the panel and rounds

    Choose 2 or more personas and up to 5 rounds so they can challenge and refine each other's points.

What makes an argument strong?

A strong argument has three parts: a clear claim, a reason that supports it, and evidence or an example that makes the reason believable. Many weak arguments skip the reason ("remote work is better") or rely on a single anecdote. Ask the AI to label each part so you can see where your case is thin.

The best arguments also anticipate the counterargument. In a multi-round debate, you see exactly how the other side would respond, which lets you add a rebuttal before anyone raises the objection.

How to use an AI argument generator for essays and debates

For an argumentative essay, run a debate on your thesis, then build your outline from the verdict: your main argument, the strongest opposing argument, and your response to it. That structure alone lifts most essays. Write the final text yourself and verify every fact before citing it.

For competitive debate, assign personas to both sides and run 3 to 5 rounds. Read the rebuttals closely, because they reveal the clash points judges care about. Then switch sides and prepare the case you like least.

For negotiations, pitches and decisions, frame the topic as a concrete proposal, such as "We should raise prices by 10 percent next quarter." Specific claims produce specific arguments. The judge's scores for upside, risk, difficulty and confidence, plus its suggested next actions, turn the debate into a practical checklist you can share with your team.

Steel-manning: argue against your own position

Steel-manning means stating the opposing view so well that its supporters would agree with your summary. It is the fastest way to find the weak spots in your own position. Paste your argument into a debate, add a devil's advocate, and ask the panel to attack it. If your position survives, you can defend it with confidence. If not, you found out before your reader or opponent did.
