Most AI does the thinking for you. Contra makes you do it. Pick a topic — the AI takes the opposite side and argues hard. 6 turns to convince it. Scored /100 on Logic, Rhetoric, Evidence, Originality. Coached after each round. Challenge friends 1v1.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Taj, solo founder of Contra.
Why I built this: I noticed ChatGPT, Claude and every other AI assistant is trained to agree with you. Helpful, sure — but terrible for critical thinking. There's no tool that pushes you to actually defend your ideas.
So I built one. Contra lets you pick any topic, takes the opposing side, and argues back hard. You have 6 turns to convince it. After the debate, you get a score /100 broken down into Logic, Rhetoric, Evidence and Originality — plus coaching on the arguments you missed.
What's inside:
4 difficulty levels (Easy → Brutal)
Custom debate topics (propose your own)
1v1 challenges with friends on the same topic
Global + friends leaderboards
Fully bilingual (FR/EN) + dark mode
Built with React Native (Expo SDK 54) + Claude Sonnet streaming on Django/Postgres.
What I'd love feedback on: Is the scoring system intuitive? Does "Brutal" mode feel genuinely hard or just frustrating? Any debate topics you'd want preloaded?
Happy to answer anything!
