About Argutum

Chat with AI and get paid for quality prompts. Every message is scored in real time, earn cash for complexity, novelty, and domain expertise. Argutum works like any AI chat, ask questions, get answers, think through problems. The difference: every message you send is scored for quality, and the good ones pay you real money. Argutum is a fully capable AI assistant, use it however you'd use ChatGPT or Claude. Behind the scenes, each message you send is graded across five dimensions: complexity, novelty, structure, domain expertise, and depth.
