Inspiration
Our history teacher who made us love history by having interactive lessons where we have to predict what will happen and defend our points.
What it does
In the socratic debate mode, it checks for fallacies in user essays, corrects factual inaccuracies, asks the user to provide sources when something feels out of place. It has a Teaching mode, where the user can learn targeted information about a specific topic. It also has a Hunt mode, which looks for factual inaccuracies much more aggressively than it's debate counterpart.
How we built it
We used AI to write the backend and the frontend. The frontend is react with Vite, the backend is python with FastApi.
Challenges we ran into
Getting the backend to work on Azure took us multiple hours
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We really like that the AI is able to attack the points of the user, just like how our teacher would do it, which can show whether the user has knowledge on a specific topic or is speaking broadly on topics they don't actually know. We also like that in the teaching mode we are the ones in control, we have to specify the kind of information we want to use as a base.
What we learned
AI development is really interesting, even though it requires really specific prompts, and lots of texting to make sure it is up to standards.
What's next for ArguMentor
I want to rewrite the project so that I get a deeper understanding on how I can make AI agents so that eventually this can actually turn into something that I would actually use to study.
