Problem

AI debate workflows need a structured way to coordinate multiple model providers, user prompts, and credentials without mixing product logic with provider-specific details.

Users and context

Built for users who want to run and compare AI-assisted debate flows through a web interface.

Product workflow

A user defines the debate context, configures model access, starts the debate flow, and reviews generated arguments from participating AI agents.

Architecture

React powers the client experience, while a Node.js backend coordinates provider requests, credential handling, and debate workflow state.

Key engineering decisions

• Separated provider orchestration from the interface so model integrations can change without reshaping the user flow.
• Kept credential handling behind backend boundaries instead of exposing provider keys to the browser.
• Structured the project around the debate workflow rather than scattered prompt experiments.

Tradeoffs and limitations

• Supporting multiple providers increases orchestration complexity compared with a single-model implementation.

Next improvements

• Add richer debate history views.
• Improve response comparison and citation displays.
