Augmind StudioEvery student speaks every week.
Every speech gets real feedback.
Augmind is the workbench behind middle- and high-school speech & debate programs. Students record pieces and drills between practices; AI drafts feedback against your rubric — with pace, fillers, and pauses actually measured; your coaches review and sign everything students and families see.

A week in season
Assign the week
Pick a week from a ready curriculum — Foundations for first-years, Competition Speech in season — or assign your own drill with your own time limit. Two clicks for the roster.
Students record at home
Any phone or laptop, no app. Coaches can also record in the room and batch-upload for the whole class — students need nothing.
AI drafts with receipts
Per-dimension scores with evidence quoted from the speech, plus measured delivery: pace, filler count, pauses. About five seconds per recording.
Coach signs; families see
Nothing publishes until a coach approves it. Families get the feedback by email plus a no-login progress page with the videos and the trend.
What you get
Three ready curricula
Speech Foundations (12 weeks, built for first-year middle schoolers), the compact 8-week Camp version, and Competition Speech (12 weeks building Original Oratory, Declamation, and Storytelling pieces on an impromptu spine).
MS and HS rubric packs
A 1–5 junior rubric middle schoolers actually understand, and a varsity pack with high-school depth. Both published openly in our resource library — use them with or without us.
Debate drills without the grading pile
Rebuttal and clash drills assigned as practice sets: students get AI feedback on every rep, coaches see a digest, and nobody hand-grades thirty drills. Reps go up; grading doesn't.
Delivery measured, not vibed
Verbatim transcripts with pace, filler words, and pauses counted — injected into the grading, so 'slow down' arrives with a number attached.
Families in the loop, zero logins
Published feedback goes to the student and CCs the parent, and every student has a bookmarkable family page with videos and the progress trend. Renewal conversations get a lot easier.
Privacy that holds up for minors
Your organization attests parent consent once per class — no per-parent paperwork through us. Recordings retained 90 days, never used for AI training, and a coach controls everything that publishes.
Common questions
We already run our own drills and rubrics
Perfect — the curricula are optional. Assign your own prompts with your own time limits any week. Grading uses the included rubric packs today; if your program has a house rubric, tell us — coach-uploaded rubrics are the most-requested roadmap item.
Which events does Competition Speech cover?
The season arc builds Original Oratory, Declamation, and Storytelling pieces, with impromptu practice as the weekly spine. It's league-agnostic — we're not affiliated with any league or membership organization, so it works with whatever local circuit you compete in.
Can coaches record instead of students?
Yes. Record in the room on your own phone and batch-upload for the whole class — useful for programs where students don't take devices home. Student-recorded and coach-uploaded takes land in the same grading queue.
What do families see?
Only what a coach publishes. The feedback email carries the full write-up, and the family link is a read-only progress page — videos, scores, trend — that needs no account and can be revoked any time.
What happens when the 21-day trial ends?
Your workspace goes read-only: everything you and your cohort made stays viewable, nothing is deleted (recordings follow the normal 90-day retention window), and nothing auto-charges — we never took a card. Continuing is flat per-student pricing billed to the program, and early programs get pilot pricing in exchange for feedback. Reply to any email from us or write hi@augmindstudio.com: you'll get the number, and you decide. No sales calls unless you ask for one.
