More speaking practice, without another marking pile

Host a private debate in minutes. Students join by code, take a defined speaking role, and receive structured AI feedback after the round.

How the classroom flow works

You set the room, students do the debating

The host chooses the motion, team size, admission setting, and whether to speak or observe. Private rounds are AI judged by default and do not affect public ratings.

More repetitions between meetings

Students can debate from home or the library, then review the coached result when it suits them.

Consistent, structured feedback

Every assessable speech uses the same five dimensions, making progress easier to discuss from round to round.

Simple guest access

Create a private lobby, share a short join code, and let invited guests take part without creating accounts.

A bounded environment

Private debates are not publicly discoverable, remain unranked, and can be configured from 1v1 to 5v5.

What students receive

One rubric across the whole round

Each assessable speech receives feedback on argument strength, evidence quality, rhetorical clarity, refutation, and overall impact. Students see specific strengths and practical improvements, not only a final score.

Important boundaries

  • Private rooms are available now and are not publicly listed
  • Guests are scoped to the debate they join
  • Private debates are unranked
  • AI feedback is advisory and should support, not replace, educator judgement
