I'm putting together a suite of custom GPTs to support language learning and communication skills.

Here is the first one!

This GPT will prompt you to enter an argument (e.g., The US should tighten gun control) and any relevant background information. It will then create a series of supporting points in categories such as ethos/logos/pathos/appeal to virtue/financial argument etc.
