An AI research tool your students can actually trust.
General AI tools hallucinate facts about international affairs — they invent UN resolution numbers, fabricate country positions, and make up statistics that students then repeat in papers and presentations. Atlas is built for political and global affairs research specifically: sourced answers, real citations, and accurate context.

01
Students using ChatGPT for political research get it wrong
ChatGPT confidently invents UN resolution numbers, fabricates country positions, and cites non-existent sources when students ask about international affairs. For assignments on geopolitics, diplomacy, and world history, general AI tools are a liability.
02
Good research resources for global affairs are hard to find
There's no Wikipedia-equivalent for reliable country-by-country political context. The UN website is difficult to navigate. Most news sources require too much prior knowledge to be useful without context. Students end up with shallow research or wrong facts.
03
AI in the classroom is inevitable — but it matters which tool
Students are going to use AI for research regardless. The question is whether they're using a tool designed for accuracy and sourcing or one that's optimized for generating plausible-sounding text. For global affairs, the difference is significant.
What you get.
Sourced, accurate answers on global affairs
Atlas is built to cite real sources — UN resolutions, treaty text, foreign ministry statements, academic analysis. When a student asks what a country's position is on a UN committee topic, they get an answer grounded in actual foreign policy, not invention.
193 country profiles
Every UN member state with foreign policy positions, alliance relationships, and political context. Students can research any assigned country with confidence that the information is accurate and contextualized.
Structured courses on global affairs
Supplement classroom content with bite-sized courses on how the UN works, international law, climate diplomacy, conflict and peacekeeping, and more. Designed to be completed in short sessions alongside regular coursework.
Research that builds understanding, not just answers
Atlas is designed to explain context, not just state facts. When students ask why a conflict started or how an international institution works, they get an explanation — not just the answer — which is what builds actual knowledge.
Built for MUN classroom programs
Assign committees, topics, and country research tasks. Students use Atlas to prepare their positions, draft position papers, and understand the committee context. Teachers who run MUN programs use Model Diplomat to run a better-prepared committee without doing all the prep themselves.
Free for students to get started
A meaningful free tier is available for student research. School accounts are available for teachers who want to assign Model Diplomat as a classroom tool — contact us at team@modeldiplomat.com to discuss.
Common questions.
How is this different from ChatGPT for classroom research?
Atlas is purpose-built for international affairs research and designed to cite real sources rather than generate plausible-sounding answers. For global affairs topics, ChatGPT has a well-documented tendency to hallucinate political facts, UN documents, and country positions. Atlas doesn't.
Is there a concern about academic integrity?
Research tools — including Atlas — are study aids, not ghostwriters. Students who use Atlas to research a topic and then write their analysis are using it appropriately. The same norms that apply to using Wikipedia, textbooks, and other sources apply here.
What subjects and courses is this most useful for?
Social studies, AP World History, AP Comparative Government and Politics, IB Global Politics, introductory International Relations, MUN preparation courses, and any course that involves research on global affairs, foreign policy, or international institutions.
Is there a teacher or classroom account option?
Yes. Teachers who want to use Model Diplomat as a classroom tool can contact us at team@modeldiplomat.com. The standard Pro subscription also works for individual teacher use.
