Debate architecture
v5 debateTwo debaters argue opposing positions on your question across several rounds, each rebutting the other, then a judge picks a winner or synthesizes a consensus with reasoning. Best for decisions and trade-offs where the strongest case for each side should be heard before a verdict.

opposing sides argue, a judge decides
How it works
- 1Two debaters are assigned opposing positions on the question.
- 2They argue across several rounds, each directly rebutting the other’s last point.
- 3A judge reads the full transcript.
- 4The judge picks the stronger side or synthesizes a consensus, with reasoning.
When to use
Decisions and trade-offs where the strongest case for each side should be heard first.
Trade-off
Adds rounds of argument before any answer; the verdict quality depends on the judge.
Agents
AffirmativeArgues the pro position
OpposingArgues the con position
JudgeWeighs both sides and rules
Note
Great for surfacing the strongest case on each side of a decision. The judge matters as much as the debaters — a weak judge just averages, a good one weighs.
