Sound familiar?

01

Students show up underprepared

They Google for 20 minutes, find nothing useful, and arrive at conference with a two-paragraph background guide and no idea what their country actually thinks.

02

Generic AI tools make things up

ChatGPT will confidently cite a UN resolution that doesn't exist. Students trust it. You're the one who has to explain why their position paper is wrong.

03

You can't research everything for them

Thirty students, each assigned a different country on a different committee. There's no way to personally help all of them find the right sources.

What you get.

Sourced answers, not hallucinations

Model Diplomat cites every claim back to UN documents, government publications, and verified databases. Students see where the information comes from — and learn to look.

Structured courses on global politics

Bite-sized lessons on geopolitics, diplomacy, international law, and conflict — written for the classroom, not a YouTube rabbit hole. MUN Mastery is the active learning path; debate and political-literacy tracks coming next.

Position paper drafts students actually edit

Structured drafts grounded in real policy positions. Students read, revise, and make them their own — with sources already included.

Debate simulations for practice

AI opponents that argue real country positions and push back on weak arguments. Use it for in-class practice rounds before a tournament or conference.

Every committee topic, every country

Climate, security, humanitarian law, economic policy, human rights — 193 country positions and thousands of topic angles, sourced.

Works for any class touching global affairs

AP Gov advisors, IB Global Politics teachers, debate coaches, World History teachers, and MUN faculty all use Model Diplomat. The research and learning tools cover political education generally — not just MUN.

Common questions.

Is Model Diplomat free for students?

Yes. The free plan gives students AI research, country positions, and intro course lessons at no cost. Pro unlocks unlimited searches and all course content.

Will students be submitting AI-written work?

Model Diplomat generates cited drafts that students are expected to read, edit, and make their own. It's closer to a research assistant than a ghostwriter — the same standard as using Wikipedia, JSTOR, or any other research tool.

Is this useful for classes beyond MUN?

Yes. Teachers use Model Diplomat for AP Government, World History, IB Global Politics, IR electives, debate prep, and current events discussions. The country profiles, daily briefings, and AI research work for any course that touches global affairs.

Does it work for students with no prior knowledge?

Yes. Courses start from the basics, and students can ask Model Diplomat anything in plain language and get clear, sourced explanations. First-time delegates and experienced ones both use it.

How do debate coaches use it?

Coaches assign topics, students use Model Diplomat to research both sides of the motion, then practice rounds against AI opponents that argue real country positions. Particularly useful for Public Forum, World Schools, and any policy topic with an international angle.

Live example for teachers

See it answer a real question.

Every Model Diplomat answer cites real primary sources. Nothing fabricated.

Lesson plan: simulating the UN Security Council for a 10th-grade civics class.

Two-week structure that fits a 5-period/week schedule: Week 1 builds research and assigns countries; Week 2 runs the simulation across 4 sessions with debrief on day 5. Topic choice matters — pick a topic with clear bloc dynamics but enough nuance to push students past 'good-vs-bad' framing. Climate adaptation finance, conflict-related sexual violence, or the right to internet access are all proven topics at this level.1

Country assignments: split your class so the P5 (US, UK, France, Russia, China) plus 10 elected members are covered. If you have more than 15 students, double up some delegations or add observer roles (UN Secretary-General, NGO representatives). For 10th grade, the procedural complexity of full Rules of Procedure is too much — use simplified UNA-USA rules or a custom 1-page rule sheet.2

Assessment rubric (proven across NYC, Boston, and California civics curricula): 30% pre-conference research portfolio (cited country position paper, 1–2 pages); 30% in-conference performance (speeches, negotiation, draft contributions); 25% post-conference reflection paper; 15% peer assessment from delegation partners. Model Diplomat's country profiles and Position Paper Helper are the primary research scaffolds students use.3
