Multi-agent debate outperforms single chat
Argue · Critique · Converge
Multiple agents propose answers, cross-examine one another, and then a selector aggregates the strongest chain. Across tasks, this consistently beats a single model's one-shot reply, using the same base model.
- Arithmetic accuracy rose from ~67% to ~82% when using multi-agent debate vs. single model output (same base LM).
- Grade-school math improved from ~77% to ~85% under debate protocols.
- Reduces invalid steps and improves factual consistency compared to single-pass or simple self-reflection.
The Adversarial Synthesis Protocol
We don't accept the first answer an AI gives. Instead, we force multiple Agents to debate your question. This stress-test burns away errors and "hallucinations," finding the flaws that a standard chat window misses.
Question & Setup
Define the Challenge Describe your situation and your goals. The system automatically recruits a team of up to 12 AI Agents tailored to your specific problem, ensuring you have the right experts to argue every side.
Research
Before the debate begins, every Agent investigates the topic separately. They gather real-time evidence and cite their sources. This ensures that when the argument starts, it is based on verified data, not just opinion.
Opening Positions
Each Agent presents their case based on the evidence they found. We map out their specific claims, ensuring clear battle lines are drawn before the cross-examination begins.
Debate Rounds
Just like a courtroom, the Agents challenge each others evidence. They spot contradictions, rebut attacks, and refine their points. It is a disciplined process designed to filter out weak ideas and keep the focus on the truth.
Red Team & Convergence
We look for the holes in the argument one last time. Then, we bring the different viewpoints together into a clear summary, noting where the Agents agree and rating the certainty of the final decision.
Defensible Brief
You receive a polished, board-ready document that withstands scrutiny. It includes the final strategy, full citations, risk assessments, and a record of where the Agents disagreed. It is built to be audited, trusted, and acted upon immediately.
