**Model Diplomat** is the AI research and learning platform for politics, diplomacy, and global affairs. Used by 100,000 students, delegates, and researchers worldwide.

## What Model Diplomat Does

Model Diplomat lets you ask any question about international relations, ongoing conflicts, diplomatic negotiations, or country positions and get a research-grade briefing with cited primary sources — UN documents, treaty text, foreign-ministry releases, voting records. It is a specialist AI search engine that covers geopolitics and diplomacy, used by students preparing for MUN, writing position papers, and studying international relations.

The platform combines AI-powered search with structured learning (courses, streaks) to create a research habit loop. Users earn XP, maintain streaks, and advance through diplomacy content the way they would on Duolingo.

## Core Capabilities

- **AI Search** — ask any political or diplomatic question and get a streamed answer with cited sources, related cards, and follow-up suggestions
- **MUN Research** — country positions, committee background guides, resolution drafting, crisis directives
- **Position Paper Generation** — AI-assisted drafting with structured format and source citations
- **Diplomatic Simulations** — AI-powered debate practice against country delegations
- **Daily Briefings** — intelligence-style summaries of the day's most important geopolitical developments
- **Country Profiles** — political, economic, and diplomatic data for 193 UN member states
- **Diplomacy Courses** — Brilliant-style interactive lessons with streaks, XP, and certificates
- **Model UN tools** — speech and position paper planners, a resolution formatter, voting and quorum calculators, a points-and-motions reference, and committee timers

## Target Audience

Model UN (MUN) delegates in high school and university, Model UN coaches and teachers, Public Forum, Lincoln-Douglas and Congressional Debate competitors, AP US Government students, international relations and political science students, policy researchers, and journalists covering global affairs.
