The Problem

Echo chambers, confirmation bias, can't stress-test ideas

Current Solutions (Not Great)

Find someone who disagrees (hard), argue with yourself (ineffective)

Who Needs This

Thinkers, debaters, writers, decision-makers

Stress-test your ideas without finding someone who disagrees. Enter any position you hold, and AI will argue against it—from gentle pushback to ruthless takedown. Great for decision-making, debate prep, or escaping echo chambers.

Honest Take

Intellectually appealing but limited audience. Most people don't want their beliefs challenged—they want validation. The users who would appreciate this are already using ChatGPT for the same purpose. Might resonate with debate teams and philosophy students, but that's pretty niche.

Build Prompt

Use this prompt with an AI assistant to start building

Build a React PWA called 'Devil's Advocate' using WebInfer for AI inference. Use streamText for real-time argument generation. UI: large textarea for user's position/belief, mode selector (Devil's Advocate, Steelman, Socratic Questions), intensity slider. Chat-style interface showing the debate. System prompt instructs AI to argue the opposing position convincingly without being offensive. Add a 'Summarize Counter-Arguments' button using generateObject to return { strongestPoints: string[], weaknessesInMyPosition: string[], thingsToConsider: string[] }. Include debate history and 'Start New Debate' button. Optional: voice input using Web Speech API.
