FAQ
Can an AI coach replace real debate training?
As a sparring partner and argument organizer, it's great, but it can't replace timing, live reactions, or pace control. Have the AI generate 10 tough cross-examination questions, then answer them out loud into your phone, record yourself, and review. Far more effective than pure text drills.
It keeps siding with one position when generating questions, what do I do?
State in the request "provide 5 equally tough cross-examination questions for each side, do not favor either." The AI leans toward mainstream positions by default, and naming "balance" and "no favoritism" explicitly fixes it.
