Research on politics that holds up.
Model Diplomat is the AI research engine for politics, diplomacy, and global affairs — built so every answer cites a primary source you can verify.
Our Mission
We started Model Diplomat because political research is broken. General AI tools fabricate UN resolutions, invent country positions, and cite sources that don't exist. Traditional databases require you to already know what you're looking for. Most people who care about global affairs end up giving up halfway through their first research session.
So we built the research engine we wanted to use. Model Diplomat is AI grounded in primary sources — UN documents, treaty text, foreign ministry statements, verified geopolitical analysis — for questions about foreign policy, diplomacy, and international law. Every answer cites where it came from.
Today, 90,000+ students, delegates, researchers, and policy professionals use Model Diplomat worldwide — from first-time MUN participants to journalists, think-tank analysts, and graduate students writing dissertations.

Our Values
Anyone Can Use It
Whether you're a first-time delegate or a graduate student writing a thesis, Model Diplomat works for any question about politics, diplomacy, or global affairs.
Actually Accurate
We don't do surface-level summaries. Every claim is grounded in primary sources — UN documents, treaty text, foreign ministry statements — that you can trace and cite.
AI That Helps You Learn
Our tools help you understand topics faster — not skip the learning. You still do the thinking. We just make the research part less painful.
Built With You
Every feature comes from real feedback — from delegates, teachers, researchers, and journalists. If something's missing, tell us. We'll probably build it.
What People Say
"Model Diplomat is an essential resource for diplomatic research. It helps students effectively research foreign policy positions while preserving the educational value of working through the material themselves."
Edward Elmendorf
Co-Director of the UNA-NCA
"I've tested out the site with a few historical UN questions, and am in awe of how it uses AI to speed research tasks."

Veteran of UNA and TCF
