Three ways to master argumentation
Build from scratch, learn with AI guidance, or analyze real texts. Pick the mode that fits your lesson.
Construct arguments from scratch
Name your claim, grounds, warrant, backing, qualifier, and rebuttal. The diagram updates as you type.
- Guided form walks you through each component
- Live diagram preview updates in real time
- Export finished arguments as PNG, JPG, or PDF
An AI coach that asks the right questions
The AI coach asks Socratic questions about each part of your argument. You write the claim, the grounds, the warrant. The coach points out what's missing.
- Step-by-step guidance through all Toulmin components
- Proposes improvements only when you're ready
- Evaluates your finished argument with detailed feedback
Deconstruct any text through a Toulmin lens
Paste an article or legal opinion. The AI helps you find the claim, grounds, and warrant in the text. Label each passage and build the diagram as you read.
- Highlight text passages that map to Toulmin components
- Progressive diagram builds as you identify parts
- Save your analysis as a complete Toulmin argument

Who the pilot is for
Theology & Seminary
Train students to defend doctrine from texts, anticipate counter-arguments, and cite sources rigorously.
Philosophy & Rhetoric
Walk students through warrant and backing — the parts of an argument they usually leave implicit.
Law
Diagram briefs and decisions so students see how holdings, evidence, and qualifiers actually fit together.
Communication & Writing
Make claims and grounds explicit before students touch the keyboard. Stronger essays, faster.
