Sometimes you just need to think
Not every decision needs to live in your history forever. Maybe you're exploring a sensitive topic. Maybe you're stress-testing a wild idea. Maybe you just want to keep your debate list clean.
Starting today, you can toggle Incognito Mode on any new debate.
How it works
When you create a new debate, you'll see a shield icon toggle below the mode selector. Flip it on and your debate becomes temporary:
- Auto-deletes after 30 days - no manual cleanup needed
- Full debate quality - same agents, same evidence, same verdict
- Journal entries preserved - if you log an outcome in your decision journal, that entry stays even after the debate expires
- Visual indicator - a "Temporary" badge with expiry date appears on the debate page so you always know the status
Everything else works exactly the same. Same analysis depth. Same evidence citations. Same verdict structure. The only difference is the cleanup.
When to use Incognito Mode
Sensitive decisions: Exploring options you don't want on the record - compensation discussions, organizational changes, vendor evaluations.
Quick explorations: Testing a hypothesis or satisfying curiosity without cluttering your debate history.
One-off analysis: You need a verdict for a meeting tomorrow and won't reference it again.
Demos and testing: Showing AskVerdict AI to colleagues without creating permanent records in your account.
Cleaner deletion across the board
This release also improves what happens when any debate is deleted (temporary or manual). Deletion now fully cleans up all associated data, so nothing lingers after you remove a debate.
Decision journal outcomes are intentionally preserved with a "Debate deleted" indicator, so your outcome tracking history stays intact even when the source debate is gone.
Available now
