Case Generation
Stop spending hours searching for evidence and formatting cases. Aff Assistant uses evidence-first discovery to generate the beginnings of affirmative cases backed by credible sources. Our AI analyzes the resolution, searches thousands of authoritative sources, and synthesizes provable harms, workable plans, and strategic advantages—all with proper NCFCA citations. Each case includes verbatim quotes from credible think tanks, government reports, and academic research, giving you the foundation to confidently step into any round. Generate multiple case options, compare strategic approaches, and customize your final case to match your debate style.

Aff Backup
Aff Backup gives you instant access to every evidence card in your case, organized by stock issue—Topicality, Inherency, Significance, Solvency, Advocacy, and Responses. Browse a hyperlinked Table of Contents to jump directly to any tagline, view the full evidence quote with proper citations, and understand the impact of each card. Filter by stock issue to quickly review specific categories, or download the entire backup as a formatted Word document for offline study and tournament prep. Whether you're prepping responses to neg attacks, reviewing your strongest cards, or practicing your 1AC, Aff Backup keeps your evidence organized and accessible—so you can focus on winning rounds, not searching for cards.

Background Resources
Understanding your case isn't just about memorizing cards—it's about knowing the full story. When you generate a case, Aff Assistant automatically saves all the source materials, think tank reports, policy briefs, and research articles used to build your arguments. Browse curated background reading organized by your case's harms and advantages, explore alternative perspectives, and develop expert-level knowledge of your topic. These resources help you anticipate neg attacks, answer CX questions with confidence, and adapt your case on the fly during rounds.
Deep-Dive Research at Your Fingertips
Quiz Functionality
Knowing your case inside and out is what separates good debaters from great ones. Aff Assistant's interactive quiz system helps you internalize your arguments, evidence, and case structure so you can speak with confidence and clarity. Answer questions about your harms, plan details, advantage scenarios, and evidence—then receive instant feedback on your understanding. Track your progress over time, identify weak spots in your knowledge, and practice until your case becomes second nature. Show up to tournaments prepared, not just prepped.
Master Your Case, One Question at a Time
Ballot Upload
Every ballot is a goldmine of insights—if you know how to use it. Upload tournament ballots directly to Aff Assistant and let AI analyze your performance across all seven NCFCA/STOA rubric categories: Cross-Examination, Persuasiveness, Refutation, Delivery, Conduct, Organization, and Evidence. Track wins and losses, identify your strongest and weakest skills, and search past feedback using natural language queries like "What did judges say about my refutation?" Your entire competitive history lives in one place, making it easy to spot patterns, measure improvement, and focus your practice where it matters most. No more lost ballots or forgotten feedback—just actionable data to help you win more rounds.
Turn Judge Feedback Into Your Competitive Advantage

Ask anything:
"How do I improve my cross-examination?"
"What's the best way to handle this disadvantage?"
"Why am I losing on persuasiveness?"
The AI delivers personalized advice, actionable practice drills, and strategic insights tailored to your specific performance data.
