Reloadium Debates — watch anyone debate anything, with live fact checks
Pit 2–6 contenders — celebrities, historical figures, fictional characters, even objects — against each other in an AI debate simulator. Every exchange is fact-checked in real time: True, False, Exaggerated, or Opinion. Powered by Gemini with Google Search grounding.
Who would win? Now you can find out.
Reloadium Debates is an AI debate simulator that lets you stage any intellectual confrontation imaginable. Abraham Lincoln vs. Elon Musk on economic inequality. Sherlock Holmes vs. Sun Tzu on strategy. A hammer vs. a screwdriver on what counts as a tool.
You set the topic, pick the contenders, and the AI runs the debate — while fact-checking every claim in real time.
Up to 6 contenders
Select between 2 and 6 participants. Mix and match freely:
- Historical figures — Napoleon, Marie Curie, Marcus Aurelius
- Living public figures and celebrities — the app includes 26 celebrity presets
- Fictional characters — Hermione Granger, Tony Stark, Don Quixote
- Abstract concepts or objects — Climate Change vs. Economic Growth, Coffee vs. Tea
- Your own custom characters with any defined traits
Real-time fact checking
This is what separates Reloadium Debates from a basic chatbot conversation. Every statement made by every debater is grounded using Google Search and classified as:
- True — verifiably accurate
- False — contradicted by available evidence
- Exaggerated — partially accurate but overstated
- Opinion — subjective, not verifiable
The bad faith slider
Debates aren't always rational. The bad faith slider lets you control how intellectually honest the debaters are:
- Low — logical arguments, steel-manned positions
- Moderate — occasional fallacies and deflections
- High — full strawmen, ad hominem attacks, and bad-faith rhetorical moves
Moderator interventions
10 preset moderator commands let you steer the debate mid-stream:
- Steelman each other's position
- Find common ground
- Switch sides
- Explain like I'm 5
- Address the strongest counterargument
- And more — or send a fully custom moderator message
