How is this different from just asking ChatGPT? When you ask ChatGPT a question, you get one model's answer — shaped by its training, its biases, its blind spots. Alethe AI puts multiple models in the same conversation. They read each other's responses, challenge positions, correct errors, and build on each other's reasoning. The result is a more complete, more stress-tested answer than any single model could produce alone.
What does "debate" actually mean here? It's not a side-by-side comparison. Each model reads what the others wrote before composing its response — then agrees, disagrees, or refines. It's a real conversation, with positions that evolve across messages. Some questions produce quick consensus. Others surface genuine disagreements between models that are worth knowing about.
How long does a debate take? Most debates complete in 30 to 90 seconds depending on the number of models, the complexity of the question, and your plan's token limit. Responses stream in real time — you start reading as the first model writes, not after everything is done.
Is my data private? Are my conversations stored? Yes, conversations are stored to power your history and the Explorer feature. They are private by default — only you can see them. You can publish a debate to make it publicly visible, but that's always an explicit action. We do not use your conversations to train any model.
Can I share or export my debates? Yes — two ways. You can publish any completed debate to a public link and share it with anyone (no account required to read). You can also export the full transcript as a PDF — available on Ultra and Apex plans.
What happens when I hit my token limit? The current model finishes its sentence, then the debate ends cleanly. You get a notification with your usage. Unused tokens do not carry over to the next month — limits reset on your billing date.
Is there a free plan? Do I need a credit card? The Free plan is free forever — not a trial. No credit card required. You get 8 debates per month, 2 models per debate, and access to the Alethe and Friendly modes. Upgrade only when you need more.
