Who it’s for

One product, three rooms.

The same engine that trains a debate team also sharpens a comms seminar and a sales floor. Start where you are.

K–12

Debate, AP Lang & any class that argues

Reasoning reps mapped to the AP Lang rubric and CCSS argumentation standards — and reusable in history, government, science, and ELA.

Higher Ed

Societies & writing centers

Unlimited practice rounds for debate societies, comms courses, and writing-center coaching.

Corporate

L&D & sales enablement

Rehearse the high-stakes conversation — objections, negotiation, exec presence — before it’s real.

Why now

Every other AI tool in the building does the thinking for your students. This one makes them do more of it.

When answers are one prompt away, the scarce skill is defending a position under pressure. Spar With AI is the reps for that skill — and the only AI in the room a student can’t offload their thinking onto.

Across the curriculum

Debate is the method. Reasoning is the point.

A teacher can turn any claim into a five-round defense — so the same tool trains argumentation in the debate room and in the content classroom.

History

“Dropping the atomic bomb on Japan was justified.”

Government

“The Electoral College should be abolished.”

Science

“Nuclear power should replace fossil fuels.”

English / ELA

“Macbeth is more victim than villain.”

Economics

“Minimum-wage increases cause more harm than good.”

Ethics

“Social media should restrict political misinformation.”

What students practice

Six skills, every session.

Aligned to what you already teach — AP Lang argumentation, CCSS speaking & listening, and NSDA judging criteria.

Evidence

Every claim gets challenged. Students learn to bring proof, not vibes.

Steelmanning

They must face the strongest version of the other side — not a strawman.

Rebuttal

Live pushback every round. They practice defending under pressure.

Spotting fallacies

The report flags the logical fallacies they leaned on, by name.

Composure

Staying clear and civil when the opponent doesn’t let up.

Consistency

Holding a coherent position across five rounds without contradicting themselves.

How a session works

Assign it Monday. Grade it from the report.

Assign a motion

Teacher picks from 250+ debate topics or enters a custom motion, and chooses the opponent.

Students spar

Each student defends their position for five rounds against an AI that pushes back — no flattery, no repeats.

Scored report

Evidence, steelmanning, consistency, and composure — each scored, with a plain-language coaching takeaway.

You see it all

The teacher dashboard shows every student’s transcript and growth across the term at a glance.

Teacher dashboard

See the whole class at a glance.

Every student, every score, every transcript — in one place. Spot who’s dodging evidence and who’s ready for a harder opponent. (Preview — sample data.)

Teachers stay in control

You drive the AI. Students can’t.

This isn’t a loose chatbot kids wander off with. For each class, the teacher sets five dials in plain English — no code — and the settings are enforced on our servers, so students can’t see them or talk the opponent into going easy.

The opponent

Pick from six personalities — the gentle Socratic to the relentless Ideologue.

Set to: The Cross-Examiner

The difficulty

Dial the intensity — gentler for novices, or relentless for varsity.

Set to: Hard

The topics

Assign the motions — and lock students to your list, or let them bring their own.

3 motions · must pick from list

The house rules

Write instructions in your own words — reading level, evidence demands, keep it clean.

“9th-grade level. Push hard on evidence. No profanity.”

The name

Rename the opponent so the debate feels like your class.

Students see: “The Prosecutor”

What happens when a student hits “Start”

1 →Set once

The teacher’s dials are saved on the class.

2 →Enforced server-side

The opponent is built from them on our servers — never in the student’s browser.

3 →Applied per class

Every student in that class gets it — and only that class. Period 1 and Period 6 can differ.

4Locked to students

They can’t see the rules, change them, or jailbreak the opponent. And you see every transcript.

The opponents

Six sparring partners. One never enough.

Differentiate without lifting a finger — start beginners on the Socratic, push your varsity debaters onto the Ideologue.

The SocraticStarter

Never says you’re wrong — just asks questions until you hear it yourself.

The Cross-ExaminerMedium

Locks onto every inconsistency and won’t let go until you explain it.

The Skeptical JournalistMedium

Treats every claim as an unverified tip. Show your sources or get dismantled.

The ExecutiveHard

No patience for hedging. Say what you mean or lose the room in 30 seconds.

The IdeologueHard

Only cares that your argument survives the strongest case against it.

The Friendly SaboteurHard

Agrees with you first — then uses your own logic to unravel it.

Trust & privacy

Built for minors’ data from day one.

No emails or passwords

Students join with a class code and a display name — no accounts to create. We minimize what we collect, so there’s far less student data to handle.

We never sell data

No ads to students, no data sold, no models trained on student work. Ever.

FERPA & COPPA-minded

Designed around data minimization and teacher/school consent as the lawful basis.

DPAs for districts

We’ll sign the SDPC standard data-privacy agreement and provide a plain-English trust page.

Pricing

Start free. Grow when it works.

Every school starts with a free pilot. Classroom is priced so a single teacher can expense it — no procurement, no board vote.

Straight answers.

Do students need to give their email or personal info?

No. Students join a class with a code and a display name — that’s it. We’re built to run a full class without ever collecting student emails, which is the single biggest privacy win for schools.

Is this just another AI that does the work for them?

The opposite. Spar With AI never writes a student’s argument or hands them an answer — it attacks weak reasoning and makes them defend every claim. It builds thinking instead of replacing it.

How is it different from a general AI assistant?

General assistants are built to help a user produce something — an essay, an answer, a summary. Spar With AI is purpose-built to do the opposite: challenge a student’s reasoning, push back on their claims, and evaluate how well they defended a position. Different job, different design.

What about student data privacy?

We don’t sell student data, we don’t show ads, and we don’t train models on student work. We build FERPA/COPPA-minded, minimize what we collect, and will sign the SDPC standard DPA for districts.

How much prep does it take a teacher?

Minutes. Pick a motion and an opponent, share the class code, and go. Reports are generated automatically — no grading debate transcripts by hand.

Can we try it before paying?

Yes — every school starts with a free pilot for a term. No card, no commitment. Most teachers decide within the first two assignments.

A note from the founder

“I built Spar With AI because I got tired of watching smart people fold the second someone pushed back. The fix isn’t more information — it’s reps. I want every classroom to have a sparring partner that never gets tired of the fight.”

— Lamar, Adams Labs
