Frequently Asked Questions
?How does AI debate practice work?
Our AI analyzes the debate topic and generates intelligent arguments based on the chosen difficulty level. It responds to your points in real-time, providing a realistic debate experience with instant feedback on your performance.
?Can I use Debated for tournament preparation?
Absolutely! Many students use solo AI practice to prepare for tournaments. Premium users can also host their own tournaments with automatic brackets, judging, and leaderboards.
?What debate formats are supported?
We support all major formats including WSDC, British Parliamentary, Lincoln-Douglas, Public Forum, Policy, American Parliamentary, and Australasian. Each format includes detailed guides in our Learning Center covering structure, timing, and strategies.
?What is the AI Judge feature?
The AI Judge analyzes complete debate sessions and provides comprehensive scoring with category breakdowns (argumentation, evidence, delivery, rebuttal), identifies key moments, declares a winner, and offers strategic improvements for both sides. Perfect for practice and self-assessment.
?How do personalized practice drills work?
After receiving detailed feedback from the Debate Coach, you can request custom drills targeting your specific weaknesses. The AI generates 3-5 focused exercises with scenarios, instructions, and learning objectives to help you improve in areas like logical reasoning, evidence usage, or refutation skills.
?How do teachers manage multiple classes?
Teachers get a dedicated dashboard to create unlimited classes, generate join codes, schedule debates, and track all students' progress in one place. Analytics help identify areas where students need support.
?Is there a mobile app?
Debated is fully responsive and works great on mobile browsers. A native mobile app is coming soon for iOS and Android.
?Can teams practice together remotely?
Yes! Premium plans include Zoom integration, allowing teams to conduct live video debates. Teams can also share arguments, strategies, and track combined performance.
?How accurate is the AI feedback?
Our AI provides comprehensive analysis including logical fallacy detection (ad hominem, straw man, etc.), evidence strength evaluation, refutation effectiveness ratings, and phrasing improvements. The enhanced Debate Coach can also generate personalized practice drills based on your specific weaknesses.
?What advanced training tools are available?
Beyond solo and live debates, Debated includes a Cross-Examination Trainer, an Opponent Simulator, Speech Analytics, a Practice Mode, a Case Builder, a Judge Simulator, a Coach Dashboard, and Debate Replay. Together these tools cover every stage of preparation, performance, and review.
?Can I practise with voice and AI avatars?
Yes. Solo debates support voice input with real-time speech-to-text, and you can face AI avatar opponents that each have unique personalities and portraits. Toggle between text-only or voice-and-avatar responses to suit your practice style.
?How do achievements and leaderboards work?
You earn points and unlock badges as you complete debates, build streaks, and hit milestones. Points move you through tiers from Bronze to Diamond, and leaderboards rank individuals and teams weekly, monthly, and all-time using Elo ratings and win rates.
