In Shar's Words
“What sets Symbai apart is its ability to model how the best debaters think, prepare cases, and strategically respond to opponents. It doesn’t just generate text. It demonstrates strong argumentation, models how to respond effectively, and provides targeted feedback to help students sharpen their reasoning.”
