Question 1

What is Verdict?

Accepted Answer

Verdict is a free practice court for debate. You pick a motion and a side; an AI takes the opposite side, argues back, and scores every point you make. It runs entirely in your browser.

Question 2

How does the scoring work?

Accepted Answer

Each argument is graded the moment you send it across four weighted dimensions — logic (32%), evidence (28%), facts (22%), and clarity (18%). Your running total is the sum of those points across the debate.

Question 3

Does it detect logical fallacies?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Verdict flags ten common fallacies in real time — ad hominem, strawman, false dichotomy, slippery slope, hasty generalization and more — and at higher difficulty the AI will call them out mid-debate.

Question 4

Is Verdict free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely free with no account. The debate engine runs locally in your browser, so there is nothing to sign up for and nothing to install.

Question 5

What can I debate?

Accepted Answer

Any motion you type. Ten topics come built in — AI, social media, remote work, universal basic income, climate, crypto, space, gaming, privacy, and college — each with researched arguments for both sides. Custom topics still get a full debate.

Question 6

Can I speak my arguments instead of typing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In Chrome you can dictate arguments by voice and they are transcribed into the composer for you to review and send. You can always type instead.
