Multi-Agent Debate orchestrates a virtual symposium, assigning distinct personas (e.g., skeptic, advocate, mediator) to argue positions, challenge assumptions, and synthesize a unified stance. Through rounds of rebuttals and integrations, biases erode, and robust conclusions emerge. This adversarial collaboration elevates reasoning depth, suiting contentious topics like policy analysis, ethical reviews, or innovation validation.
