Frequently Asked Questions

What is ARGUS? ARGUS is an open protocol for the critical analysis of argumentative texts, designed to be used with an artificial intelligence.

What is ARGUS for? To evaluate the argumentative solidity of a text, not its moral or political value.

How do I use ARGUS? Download the protocol, open a conversation with the AI, paste the protocol then the text to be analyzed, and ask: “Analyze this text using the ARGUS protocol.”

Can the AI apply ARGUS on its own? No. Without the protocol, the AI produces superficial analyses. ARGUS forces it to follow a rigorous method.

Can any text be analyzed with ARGUS? No. ARGUS is designed for argumentative texts: op-eds, essays, speeches, manifestos.

Is the analysis 100% reliable? No. The AI is an auxiliary, not an infallible judge.

Does ARGUS attack authors? No. ARGUS analyzes texts, not people.

Who created ARGUS? ARGUS was designed by Fausto Giudice, with the assistance of an artificial intelligence.

Can I modify ARGUS? Yes, under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license. You may reproduce, modify, and redistribute it.
