Hey HN,

  I built AskVerdict AI — a multi-agent debate engine that
   argues both sides of a question before delivering a 
  structured verdict with confidence scores.

  How it works: You ask a question ("Should I migrate from
   REST to GraphQL?" or "Should we hire or outsource?").
  The engine spins up 2-5 AI agents with distinct personas
   (Advocate, Critic, Economist, Engineer, Devil's
  Advocate, etc.) who argue across multiple rounds. They
  build an argument graph — claims, rebuttals, evidence,
  concessions — tracked with survival scores. A consensus
  detector watches for convergence. Then a synthesizer
  analyzes everything and produces a verdict with:

  - Clear recommendation + confidence %
  - Per-option strengths/weaknesses
  - Strongest dissenting argument
  - Decision matrix with weighted criteria
  - Full narrative analysis report

  The technical bits:

  - Engine is provider-agnostic: Gemini, DeepSeek, Claude,
   Groq, OpenRouter, Ollama (local). Default preset uses
  Gemini 2.5 Pro for synthesis + DeepSeek V3 for debaters
  = ~$0.08/debate
  - Argument graph with claim statuses (standing,
  rebutted, conceded, refined), evidence tracking, and
  fallacy detection
  - Consensus detection via multiple signals: confidence
  convergence, concession rate, position shifts,
  Bayesian-inspired scoring
  - 4 debate modes: instant (<5s), fast (2 agents/2
  rounds), balanced (3/3), thorough (5/5 with web search)
  - BYOK (bring your own keys) — plug in your own API keys
   and pay providers directly. No markup
  - Full stack: TypeScript monorepo, Hono + Bun API,
  Next.js 15 frontend, Drizzle + Postgres

  Why I built this: I kept asking ChatGPT for advice and
  getting agreeable, non-committal answers. "It depends on
   your use case." Thanks. I wanted AI that actually
  commits to a position, shows its reasoning, and honestly
   represents the counterargument. The multi-agent
  approach forces genuine tension — agents can't just
  agree because they have adversarial roles.

  Free tier: 3 debates. BYOK plan: unlimited with your own
   keys. Pro: $4.99/mo.

  Would love feedback on the engine architecture and
  verdict quality. The engine package is ~4K LOC
  TypeScript if anyone wants to nerd out about consensus
  algorithms or argument graphs.

  Tips for posting:

  1. Post between 8-10 AM ET on a weekday
  (Tuesday-Thursday is best for Show HN)
  2. Don't ask for upvotes — HN will penalize that
  3. Be ready to answer technical questions in comments —
  HN loves implementation details
  4. If someone asks about the consensus algorithm or
  argument graph, go deep — that's your differentiator
  5. Have a compelling demo ready (a specific question
  with a good verdict) people can try immediately
