01
Examiners are catching AI-generated essays
The IB updated its academic-honesty policy in 2023 specifically because of ChatGPT-style submissions. Generic AI content is now flagged in moderation. What examiners want — and reward — is real engagement with real sources.
02
Your topic is broader than your sources
Most IB students get to topic-selection week and then realize their question is too big or too narrow. You need to test the question against available primary sources before committing 4,000 words to it.
03
Citing properly is what wins marks
Examiners read citations first. If your bibliography is three news articles, two web encyclopedia entries, and a YouTube video, you're already capped at a B. Model Diplomat finds the citable sources for you.
What you get.
Real citations, not fabricated ones
Model Diplomat cites actual UN resolutions, treaty text, IAEA reports, ICJ rulings, IMF country reports, and government ministry statements — sources you can cite directly in your bibliography without an honesty-policy concern.
Extended Essay structure guidance
Model Diplomat understands the EE rubric: focused research question, methodology, engagement with secondary literature, evaluation of sources, formal academic register. It helps you build each section to that standard.
Global Politics IA support
The Global Politics IA engagement requires real-world political engagement plus 2,000-word written analysis. Model Diplomat helps research the political issue, find scholarly framings, and surface counter-arguments your examiner will look for.
Topic-testing before you commit
Ask Model Diplomat 'what primary sources exist on X?' before you commit a 4,000-word EE topic. If the answer is thin, change the topic before you waste a month on a question that has no defensible sources.
TOK essay anchors
The Theory of Knowledge essay requires concrete real-world examples from the prescribed titles. Model Diplomat helps surface case studies — historical events, scientific controversies, policy debates — that map cleanly to the prescribed knowledge questions.
IR fundamentals course
Model Diplomat's Learn courses cover the IR theory IB students need: realism, liberalism, constructivism, securitization theory. Useful background reading even when not directly cited.
Common questions.
Does using Model Diplomat violate IB academic honesty?
Using Model Diplomat as a research tool — to find sources, understand context, and structure thinking — is allowed under the IB's 2023 academic-honesty policy, same as using Google Scholar or JSTOR. What's not allowed is submitting AI-generated text as your own. Model Diplomat is built as a citation-first research tool: every answer cites a real source you must verify, understand, and rewrite in your own words.
Can Model Diplomat help with the Global Politics IA?
Yes. The IA requires engagement with a real political issue (Engagement Activity) plus a 2,000-word written analysis. Model Diplomat helps you research the issue, find scholarly framings, identify the key political actors, and surface counter-arguments. The analytical thinking is yours.
How is this different from ChatGPT for an EE?
ChatGPT will confidently write you a 4,000-word essay citing UN Resolution 1234/56 that doesn't exist — and IB examiners are trained to spot that pattern in 2024+. Model Diplomat cites real UN resolutions, treaties, and primary sources. The information is verifiable, which is what your examiner expects.
Is Model Diplomat free for IB students?
Yes — the free tier covers research, country profiles, and Learn courses. Pro unlocks unlimited searches and the position paper / IA helpers. Most IB students do the bulk of their work on the free tier.
Does Model Diplomat work for non-political subjects (History, Economics)?
It's strongest in History, Economics, and Global Politics. For the natural sciences and mathematics, you're better off with specialist databases. Geography, Psychology, and World Studies essays with political dimensions are well-supported.
Write the EE your examiner will remember.
Free to start. Real sources from day one. The kind of research that earns A's instead of comments about over-reliance on web sources.
