Difficult conversations get easier when you've already had them once
AgonArena is a negotiation practice gym. Pick a real situation — work, money, family — and talk it through with an AI opponent that argues back. After the round, three independent judges explain what worked and what to say differently.
How it works
Pick a situation
Scenarios across 9 areas of life — or describe your own. Three difficulty levels.
Talk to your AI opponent
It argues and negotiates like a real person. Type or speak.
Swap roles
In round two you argue the other side — and see the conflict from inside.
Get scored by three judges
Three independent AI judges rate you 1–5 and explain their reasoning.
Review your decisions
A personal breakdown: where you conceded too early, what to say instead. Retakes use new situations.
Real-life situations — and your own
Pick ready-made scenarios for work, business, relationships and everyday conflicts. There are also teen scenarios in “School & peers”: teasing, peer pressure, social exclusion and difficult class-chat situations. Or describe your own.
🔗 Share your scenario with a link: a friend or colleague can open it and play the duel in Telegram.
🌐 Submit a good scenario to the community library — after review it can appear in “From community”, ready for others to play.
