Raise Critical Thinkers with AI You Can Trust
Symbai helps your children think critically while ensuring the AI reflects your family’s principles and trusted sources.
Symbai is a Totally New Take On Educational AI
Rather than replacing student thinking, it challenges it — through structured, gamified, one-on-one debates with a customizable AI opponent.
Ideal for homeschool families, it supports real-world critical thinking, structured practice, and automatic logging of hours and topics — all without needing a classroom or debate background.
Built-in educator tools simplify planning and tracking, while interactive features give students coaching, guidance, and support along the way.
How it Works
1
Choose A Topic
Our AI can recommend a suitable debate topic or choose your own. It will then generate content for your students to debate against.
2
Set Conditions
Select the perfect learning conditions for your child: challenge level and the values the AI will adopt.
3
Launch Debate
Each of your children debates their own AI in a drag-and-drop canvas with a specialist debating toolkit under the learning conditions you set for them.
4
Review & Grow
Get rich insights into your childrens' critical thinking development with AI feedback and a visual progress dashboard. Debates are exportable for records of learning.

What others are saying
“I believe Symbai has the potential through its unique multi-AI approach to become ubiquitous in the field of critical thinking in the way that Grammarly is associated with writing or Quizlet is with flash cards.”
Nick Hanne
Education Partnerships Manager at the Free Speech Union NZ
“Symbai fills a major gap in education — it equips students to think logically, independently, and critically. Unlike other tools, it offers a neutral, AI-driven platform where students can genuinely practise debating and refine their thinking. It’s like having a 24/7 mentor that challenges without bias. A powerful solution for those seeking depth over group think in today’s education landscape.”
