The Argument Analysis Tool supports three different input types, allowing you to analyze arguments from various sources.

​
Overview

Choose the input type that best matches your content:

Topic

Describe a debate topic and let AI research arguments

URL

Analyze arguments from a web article or blog post

Document

Upload or paste text from your own documents

​
Input Methods

​
Topic Query

Use this mode when you want to explore arguments around a general topic or question. The AI will research and construct a comprehensive argument map.
1

Enter your topic

Type a clear, specific question or topic in the input field.
2

Be specific

More specific topics yield better results. Instead of “climate change”, try “Is nuclear energy necessary for climate change mitigation?”
3

Click Analyze

The system will research arguments and construct your blueprint.

​
Examples

  • “Should universal basic income be implemented nationwide?”
  • “The pros and cons of universal basic income”
  • “Is artificial intelligence a threat to employment?”
  • “Should social media platforms be regulated as public utilities?”
  • “Are four-day work weeks beneficial for productivity?”
  • “Should college education be free?”
  • “Is genetic engineering of humans ethically justified?”
  • “Should we prioritize AI safety over AI capabilities?”
  • “The ethics of autonomous vehicles in trolley problem scenarios”

​
Input Length Limits

The system has a 15,000 character limit (approximately 2,500-3,000 words) for direct analysis.

​
What Happens with Long Documents?

When your input exceeds 15,000 characters:
  1. The system automatically detects the length
  2. A summarization process is triggered
  3. The summary is then analyzed instead of the full text
  4. You’ll see a message: “Input is too long. Summarizing before analysis…”
  • Topic queries: Usually under 200 characters
  • Short articles: 2,000-5,000 characters
  • Long articles: 5,000-15,000 characters
  • Documents: May require summarization if over 15,000 characters

​
Best Practices

For Topics

  • Be specific and focused
  • Frame as a question or debate
  • Avoid overly broad subjects
  • Include context when necessary

For URLs

  • Use direct article links, not homepages
  • Ensure URLs are publicly accessible
  • Verify the page has substantial text content
  • Check that the site allows scraping

For Documents

  • Use text-based PDFs, not scanned images
  • Clean up formatting before pasting
  • Remove headers, footers, and navigation text
  • Focus on the argumentative content

General Tips

  • Test with shorter inputs first
  • Review extracted text before submitting
  • Be patient during processing
  • Save important analyses to history

​
Troubleshooting

Make sure you’ve entered text, pasted a URL, or uploaded a file before clicking Analyze.
  • Verify the URL is correct and publicly accessible
  • Try accessing the URL in a private/incognito browser window
  • If the site requires login, copy the text manually instead
  • Some sites actively block scrapers - use Document mode as an alternative
  • Ensure the PDF is text-based, not a scanned image
  • Try opening the PDF and copying the text manually
  • Check that the file is not corrupted
  • Convert image-based PDFs using OCR software first
  • Check the file format (must be .txt, .md, or .pdf)
  • Ensure the file is not password-protected
  • Try a smaller file size
  • Verify the file is not corrupted
If automatic summarization fails:
  • Manually summarize the key arguments
  • Break the document into smaller sections
  • Extract only the most relevant passages
  • Ensure the content is primarily text, not tables or images
