A monologue is not a show.
Dibatto builds you a co-host who has read today’s news in your topic, argues with you on the record, and hands back a finished episode — transcript, chapters, show notes, ready to publish.
Free plan: three 10-minute episodes, no card. Paid sessions are hard-capped at 45 minutes with the clock in the header the whole time.

Margo That one I will give you. So argue the six weeks, not the bubble.
Written to show the shape of a session — not a transcript of one. The co-host cites the show’s own rundown, never an outside claim it cannot source.
Hear the co-host voices
Two existing voice previews read the same line, so you can compare their delivery before starting a show.

Tell it what your show is about
Setup is a five-minute conversation, not a form. A producer asks what you want to talk about, works out where you are with it, and follows your answers instead of running a quiz. You review one screen and it builds your show.
Your beat
Anything you could argue about for an hour: your team, your industry, your city, your hobby. Say it the way you would to a friend.
No list to pick from. The producer asks and follows your answers.
Where you are
Topic by topic: whether you know it cold or are just getting into it, and what you want out of the show — practice, publishing, sharper opinions, or learning.
The co-host argues where you know your stuff and teaches where you are newer.
Your takes
The positions you would defend, if you have them yet, and the kind of co-host you want across the table.
A live panel shows what it has heard as you talk.
Your show
Check one screen and it builds your show. Every morning the rundown is researched from your beat, with a source for every factual claim.
Change the beat anytime: edit it, or talk it through again.
Rather type? Typed setup asks the same questions. Regulated subjects like markets, crypto and health carry a disclaimer. The co-host is instructed not to give individualised advice, but AI output can still be inaccurate and needs review.
See what a morning rundown looks like: AI & Technology, NFL, Local News, or the September 25 rundown audit for a dated count of story debates and source links across the public sample rundowns.
One session, four things out the other end
You are in the chair for the middle stage only. The rest happens whether you are watching or not.
Rundown
Your topic's news by 11:00 UTC, already argued: the angle, your take, their take, and where the fight is.
Every item carries citations you can open mid-session.
Live
You talk. They interrupt, concede, and bring up what you said last week. A silent producer feeds you one cue at a time.
Hotkeys: M mark · N next segment · P push harder.
Wrap
Transcript with both voices on one timeline, chapters, show notes, five titles, five pull quotes, and a coaching card on talk ratio and pace.
Claims that drifted from the rundown come back flagged.
Publish
Edit the notes, pick the title, turn the episode public. It gets its own page, and a podcast RSS feed on Pro and Studio.
Private until you say otherwise. One switch, both ways.
The five things people ask before they believe it
Will it just agree with me?
You set the stance and how hard they push during onboarding — contrarian, skeptic, fan, coach or straight — plus an interrupt threshold and a concession rate. A co-host set to contrarian concedes only when you cite something better, and never turns into an interviewer.
What stops it inventing things?
The co-host is instructed to ground factual claims in today’s rundown, distinguish opinions and avoid unsupported allegations. The wrap can flag claims for review, but may miss errors. Check claims and citations before publishing.
What if the recording drops?
The browser records in roughly five-second chunks and saves available chunks locally before upload. Pending uploads can resume after a reload if the local data remains available. Recording, storage or device failures can still cause loss, so check your take before publishing.
What does an episode actually cost me?
Creator is $59 a month for five episodes — $11.80 an episode — and everything after you stop recording is included. A session is hard-capped at 45 minutes with the clock in the header the whole time, and you get a warning at 30.
Who owns what comes out?
You do. You own the recordings, the transcripts and the episodes, you decide what gets published, and you are the publisher of anything you release — the content policy spells out exactly what that means.
Priced per show, not per seat
An episode is one live session up to 45 minutes. Everything after you stop recording is included.

Start freeStraight answers
Is the co-host a real person?
No. The co-host is generated — the voice, the arguments and the interruptions are produced by a language model, and it says so on your episode pages and in the content policy.
You name it, pick its voice and set its temperament, so it belongs to your show rather than sounding like everybody else’s assistant. Nothing about that is hidden from your audience.
Do I need a second microphone, a guest, or an editor?
No. One microphone, a laptop and optional webcam. The co-host arrives on its own channel, the mix is recorded separately from your own track, and the wrap does the editing pass.
What can my show be about?
Anything you can argue about for an hour — your team, your industry, your city, your hobby. There is no list to pick from.
Setup is a five-minute voice conversation that asks what you want to talk about, how well you know each part of it and what you want out of the show, then builds your beat from your answers. You can edit the beat or talk it through again anytime, and typed setup asks the same questions if you would rather not talk.
Can I publish the episode anywhere?
Yes. Every episode gets a public page you can turn on or leave private, and Pro and Studio shows get a podcast RSS feed with iTunes tags you can point Apple, Spotify or anything else at.
What happens to the audio?
It is stored in object storage on your account and deleted when you delete the episode. Free-tier media is removed 30 days after upload. The privacy policy lists every processor.
Can I try it without a card?
Yes. The free plan gives you the daily rundown, text sparring and three 10-minute live episodes with no card. You keep the rundown and the sparring afterwards.
