Researchers have developed PolyDebate, a novel system designed to enhance debate skills through a gamified, multimodal approach. This system guides users through one-on-one debates with an AI opponent, incorporating elements like skill cards, props, and coins to make persuasive strategies explicit. PolyDebate captures speech and visual delivery, provides context-aware AI responses, and offers rubric-informed feedback, available in both a Unity 3D game and a web platform version. Studies indicate its effectiveness in providing debate interaction, gamified scaffolding, multimodal assessment, and structured feedback for practice. AI
