What's New
New features, improvements, and fixes — in reverse chronological order.
Debate Templates Library
Browse and start from 30+ curated debate templates covering career decisions, product strategy, technical architecture, financial choices, and more. Templates pre-fill the question structure and suggest relevant context fields so you get faster, more targeted verdicts. Available from the sidebar or when creating a new debate.
Command Palette (Cmd+K)
Press Cmd+K (or Ctrl+K on Windows) anywhere in the app to open the command palette. Search across your debate history, jump to any page, start a new debate, switch themes, or trigger any keyboard shortcut — all without leaving your keyboard. The palette learns from your usage and surfaces your most recent debates first.
Collections & Bookmarks
Organise your debates into named collections — "Q1 Planning", "Career Decisions", "Tech Stack Research" — and bookmark individual verdicts for quick reference. Collections can be shared publicly or kept private. The sidebar now shows your pinned collections for fast navigation.
Dark Mode & Gold Design System
AskVerdict's visual identity has been rebuilt from the ground up. The new design system features Verdict Gold as the primary accent colour, glassmorphism surfaces, Greycliff CF headings, and Space Grotesk body text. Dark mode is now the default, with a seamless light/dark toggle. Every component has been refined for clarity and depth.
Debate Sharing & Public Profiles
Share any completed debate via a public link — viewers see the full argument tree, cross-examination rounds, and final verdict in a clean read-only layout. Enable your public profile (/u/your-handle) to showcase your debate history and build a track record of decisions. Embed verdicts in Notion, Linear, or any tool that supports link previews.
BYOK — Bring Your Own Keys
Subscribers can now use their own API keys for Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, and Ollama. BYOK keys are never stored server-side — they are held in memory for the duration of your session only and passed directly to your chosen provider. BYOK subscribers enjoy unlimited debates at $3.99/month, paying only provider token costs.
Multi-Agent Debate Engine
The core debate engine now supports up to four specialised agent roles: Supporter, Critic, Risk Analyst, and Cross-Examiner. Agents argue in structured rounds, challenge each other's evidence, and expose blind spots that single-model queries miss. Thorough mode adds a dedicated synthesis pass that weighs all arguments before issuing the final verdict with a calibrated confidence score.
