Visual Map Containing Arguments: Statements, Sources of Information and Conclusion
Create argument maps in any browser
Draw argument maps by adding elements like sources, statement and conclusions and show logical links between them as arrows. This is done visually and works in any modern browser, including on tablets or phones.
Confidence Calculator
Automated rule-based calculation
Calculate the confidence of a statement automatically. This relies on the types of backing sources of information and many rules that make the calculation fairer, as well as machine learning models to constantly improve the precision.
And remember: an unsupported statement will always have 0% confidence!
Pie Chart of a Statement’s Components
Use Composites for consistent criteria
When you’re saying that something is “good”, you must be able to provide the criteria used for judging that. Argumentful achieves this with Composites, which specify the various parts that make up a value statement as well as their weights.
Text Generator
Convert argument maps to text
Argumentful is able to transform an argument map into text. This takes into account the sources for each statement and the calculated confidence and will even generate a list of references to sources of information. You can choose to generate section placeholders to add extra content for introductions or just go without placeholders for a text that requires next to no editing.
Knowledge Base- for Assignment’s References
Search academic bookmarked knowledge sources
URLs, studies or any research that you’ve bookmarked will be searchable and can be reused by your whole organisation or team. Our enhanced search tool will even let you easily sort and filter by category.
Export/ Publish Argument Map
Share your projects with teams
Argument maps can be published so any team member (or the public) can view them in read-only mode. This is how our blog posts show argument maps.
Embed in Web Pages
Show argument maps on your site
Any shared project can be easily embedded in a web page using an IFrame. Get the HTML code snippet straight from the project editor and display the viewer in any page to show your users how a conclusion was reached. Check here how we’ve used this in the Argumentful blog.

This can lead to costly mistakes, missed opportunities, and decreased productivity.
Critical Thinking is Different from Debating
Critical thinking is different from debating. It is about more than just winning an argument or convincing others to see things your way. It’s a process of evaluating information, analysing arguments, and making sound decisions based on evidence and reasoning. It requires open-mindedness, scepticism, and a willingness to consider multiple perspectives.
Using Critical Thinking to Explore if Crystals Have Magical Properties
While the belief in the magical properties of crystals has been around for centuries, using critical thinking can help us understand if these properties are real or just a placebo effect. By examining the evidence and applying rational thinking, we can gain a better understanding of the true nature of the supposed magical properties of crystals.
