About

Debator is a functional Telegram bot MVP where users practice argumentation and logic through gamified debates. It works as an educational tool and a platform for English learners to improve their speaking/writing skills under an AI Judge.Tech Stack & Architecture:Backend: Python (aiogram, asyncio, aiosqlite) with an asynchronous database setup.3 Game Modes:vs AI (selectable difficulty levels);vs Friend (via invite links, with custom topics, positions, and countdown timers);Matchmaking (pairs random online opponents using an Elo rating logic).AI Judging (DeepSeek via DeepInfra):The bot uses a custom, highly-tested system prompt with DeepSeek-V4-Flash. At the end of a debate, the LLM analyzes the raw chat history, rates both players on Logic, Rhetoric, and Toxicity, and provides structured feedback. The AI outputs a clean JSON object, which the bot parses into clean Telegram formatting.Operational Costs & Profit Margin:The maintenance cost is near zero. Running on DeepInfra’s pricing ($0.09 input / $0.18 output per 1M tokens) for DeepSeek-V4-Flash, 1,000 active monthly players cost just $0.42 in API fees (based on an average of 2.9M input and 0.9M output tokens) + $3 for a basic VPS. This setup is ready for immediate monetization via premium subscriptions or Telegram Stars.Roadmap Capabilities:The codebase is modular and ready for:Voice message transcription via Whisper API.AI-powered personal mentorship loops.Global leaderboards and persistent user ranks.What you buy:Full source code, SQLite database schema, verified AI system prompts, ownership transfer via @BotFather, and short deployment guidance.
