Project Debater is the first AI to successfully engage with a human in a live debate. In February 2019, Project Debater debated Mr. Harish Natarajan, one of the world's leading professional debaters in an event held in San Francisco and broadcasted live worldwide.

The underlying technologies that enabled the live event are now available as software services that include core natural language understanding capabilities, argument mining, and narrative generation.

We offer free access to these services as Cloud APIs for non commercial academic use. The early access website is available at early-access-program

You can login to the website as guest , view the documentation and run online interactive demos of most of the services.

You can then request an API key to access the services from your code for your research use by mailing project.debater@il.ibm.com.
