Argutum works like any AI chat — ask questions, get answers, think through problems. The difference: every message you send is scored for quality, and the good ones pay you real money.

How it works

Ask questions, explore ideas, work through problems. Argutum is a fully capable AI assistant — use it however you'd use ChatGPT or Claude.

Behind the scenes, each message you send is graded across five dimensions: complexity, novelty, structure, domain expertise, and depth. You see the score after every reply.

High-quality messages are worth real money as AI training data. Scores above 75 earn up to $0.085 each. Request a PayPal payout whenever your balance hits $0.50.
