Grace & Force

An AI that argues back \u2014 so students get the speaking practice a classroom of forty can never give them.

01 — Five modes

Practice, not a lecture about practice

Ranked

Debate Arena

One-on-one ranked debate against AI. Earn tokens, climb a global leaderboard, and get scored on argument rather than confidence.

World stage

Model UN

Represent a country in a live diplomacy session. Negotiate, persuade and lead against an AI delegation that pushes back.

Roleplay

Wisdom Arena

Live voice conversation with historical figures — argue as or against Gandhi, Churchill or Lincoln.

Coaching

Super Tutor

A personal AI coach for casual conversation, doubt clearing and quick quizzes.

Speech

Speech Coach

Work on vocal clarity, pacing and delivery with immediate, specific feedback.

Screening

Audio screening at scale

Record, transcribe, analyse and rank large cohorts automatically, then pass the shortlist to human review.

02 — Privacy

Audio only. No camera, ever.

The platform uses audio recording, speech-to-text transcription, voice analysis, language and content analysis, automated ranking and audio-based human review.

It does not use video, face detection, eye-contact analysis, posture analysis or any camera-based monitoring. That is a design decision rather than a roadmap gap, and it is the first thing most schools ask about — so it sits here rather than buried in a policy document.

Registration captures parent or school consent before a student records anything.

03 — Scoring

A published rubric, out of 100
