The Debate Prep is a practice, prep, and judging companion — build cases with AI feedback, drill speeches, flow rounds, and run practice rounds against an AI opponent.
Continue with Google, Microsoft, or email. No credit card needed.
An example argument — tap any part to see the kind of note the AI leaves on it.
Cases, speeches, flows, evidence, and practice rounds — kept in one place instead of scattered across docs and apps.
Build assertions, reasoning, evidence, and impact — with AI feedback that flags arguments that read as vague or underdeveloped.
Dictate or paste a speech and get an AI-annotated transcript, scored for your grade level and format.
Practice a full round against an AI opponent: speak your speeches aloud or type them, and it reads its replies back to you. Turn by turn, at your own pace.
Track arguments live through a round, then record it and get a rundown of what might not have made it into your flow.
Generate contentions and possible refutations for both sides of a resolution, so you have a starting point before a round.
Save, tag, and link your research directly into the cases and arguments that use it.
Paste in pairing text and see who you're up against, without retyping it by hand.
Speech and prep timers matched to 25+ formats — or your own custom league rules.
Switch to Judge Mode and the toolset changes to match — training, ballots, a timer, and flow sheets.
10 focused modules plus a full review quiz — flowing, definitions and plans, weighing impacts, writing an RFD, and more.
Record the winner, speaker points, and your reason for decision — with pairing import from tab sites.
The same flowing tool students use, ready for tracking a round from the judge’s seat.
Times speeches and prep to the exact limits of whatever format you’re judging that day.
Fair question — and for brainstorming arguments or explaining a concept, you should. The Debate Prep runs on the same kind of AI. What's different is how it coaches: it asks when it's unsure instead of guessing, points at the exact sentence that needs to change, and checks each part of an argument while you're still writing it — on top of your format's real rules and your league's rubric.
Paste a rebuttal with a blank line where a response should go, and it'll grade around the gap — or confidently invent what you meant.
When it genuinely can't tell whether something was intentional, it stops and asks you directly, then re-grades with your answer folded in. It never guesses on your behalf.
"Strengthen your evidence" — true of almost any speech, and it tells you nothing about which sentence to actually change.
Every note is pinned to the exact phrase in your speech it's about, with a before-and-after rewrite of that specific sentence — not a rewrite, a real one you could swap in.
You paste a finished draft and get one review. Whatever's weak survived every earlier version unnoticed.
Each part of an argument — assertion, reasoning, evidence, impact — gets its own live check as you write it, so a weak warrant gets caught before you build the rest of the argument on top of it.
It gives good general advice, because generic is all it has to work from.
Upload your rubric once, and every AI grade after that — cases, speeches, weighing — scores against those exact criteria instead of a generic standard.
It reads the text you paste. It has no idea how fast you said it, or how many times you said 'um'.
Dictate your speech and it measures your real pace, filler words, and pauses — then grades delivery alongside the argument, not just the transcript.
Every block of text is just text, so a half-finished rebuttal reads as a weak speech.
Tell it you're prepping a rebuttal and it grades a rebuttal — it won't mark you down for the gaps where the live material goes.
Ask how long an MSPDP rebuttal runs and you'll get a confident answer. It may be out of date, or simply wrong.
Speech order, timings, prep, and interruption windows for 25+ formats — checked against the official rulebooks, not recalled from memory.
It can explain what protected time is. It cannot tell you when yours is about to run out.
A timer set to your format's exact limits, a flow sheet built from its real speech order, and round recording that flags what you might have missed.
A general chatbot can absolutely help you think through an argument. It won't stop to ask when something's ambiguous, point at the exact sentence to fix, or catch a weak warrant while you're still building it — and it won't time your round, hear how you spoke, or remember your rubric tomorrow. This is built to do both.

The 300 starter credits cover your first 14 days of AI use, then the free allowance settles at 40 a month — enough for any one of these jobs every month, on top of a case builder, flow sheets, timer, evidence library, and all of Judge Mode that never cost credits at all.

How to prep, how to flow, how judges actually decide — plus speech order and timings for every format we support.
The core app — Case Builder, flow sheets, timer, evidence library, and all of Judge Mode — is free forever, unlimited. AI coaching (speech feedback, refute tables, Debate the AI, and more) runs on a credit allowance: free accounts get 300 credits covering their first 14 days of AI use, then 40 a month after that. Premium ($9.99/mo or $79/yr) raises it to 1,000 a month. The pricing section shows exactly what those allowances buy.
For brainstorming arguments or explaining a concept, honestly, you should — and The Debate Prep runs on the same kind of AI. What a chat window can't do is stop and ask when it genuinely can't tell if something was intentional, point at the exact sentence in your speech that needs to change, or check your reasoning and evidence separately while you're still building the argument instead of grading the whole thing at once. It also won't time your speech to your format's exact limits, hear how fast you actually spoke, or grade you against your own league's rubric. That's the part this is for.
