5 Rounds to Agreement: How I Made ChatGPT and Claude Debate Until They Converged
TL;DR: Built a free, open-source tool called AI Debate that makes ChatGPT and Claude challenge each other’s answers iteratively until they reach consensus. The convergence typically happens in 3-5 rounds, producing insights neither AI generates alone.

The Problem: Single AI, Limited Perspective
Every day, millions toggle between ChatGPT and Claude, comparing responses, trying to determine which answer is better. But what if instead of choosing, we could harness both perspectives simultaneously?
Different AI models have different training data, reasoning patterns, and inherent biases. ChatGPT might excel at creative solutions while Claude provides more structured analysis. Why settle for one when iterative debate produces superior results?
The Solution: AI Debate – Convergence Through Iteration
AI Debate orchestrates structured conversations between multiple AI models. The process is elegantly simple yet remarkably effective:
- Parallel Questioning: Submit identical queries to both ChatGPT and Claude simultaneously
- Cross-Validation: Feed each model’s response to the other for critique and refinement
- Iterative Refinement: Continue the exchange for 3-5 rounds until responses converge
- Convergence Detection: Jaccard similarity algorithm identifies when consensus is reached
- Superior Output: Final answers combine strengths of both models

Technical Implementation: Pure Frontend Magic
AI Debate requires zero backend infrastructure. The entire implementation runs in your browser using vanilla JavaScript and HTML5. Users maintain complete control through their own API keys.
// Simplified core debate loop
async function runDebate(question, maxRounds = 5) {
let claudeResponse = await askClaude(question);
let gptResponse = await askGPT(question);
for(let i = 0; i < maxRounds; i++) {
claudeResponse = await askClaude(`${gptResponse}\n\nYour thoughts?`);
gptResponse = await askGPT(`${claudeResponse}\n\nYour thoughts?`);
if(checkConvergence(claudeResponse, gptResponse)) break;
}
return {claudeResponse, gptResponse, rounds: i};
}

Discoveries from AI Debates
After extensive testing, several fascinating patterns emerged:
"The debate process reveals each model's unique reasoning style. ChatGPT often provides creative initial solutions, while Claude adds structural refinement. Together, they achieve synthesis neither reaches alone."
Key Observations
- Complementary Strengths: Models compensate for each other's weaknesses
- Rapid Convergence: Most debates stabilize within 3-5 iterations
- Quality Enhancement: Final answers consistently superior to initial responses
- Bias Reduction: Cross-validation minimizes individual model biases
- Emergent Insights: Debate generates ideas absent from either model's initial response
