Hold the Floor
What is Hold the Floor?
Spoken practice for real questions. A member picks a question, answers out loud, takes a follow-up from an AI practice partner and gets one clear thing to try next. Then they run it again. See how it works.
Does it grade opinions?
No. It rates five skills: building a clear case, using evidence, listening and responding, communicating clearly and staying fair. Political or religious agreement is never scored.
Do members have to speak out loud?
Speaking is the point, but a member can type an answer when they're somewhere quiet. Either way, they review their words before sending them.
What are the practice modes?
Six ways to practice, from Step Up against a skeptical peer to Hostile Room, which members choose for themselves. Leaders decide which modes their group uses. Compare the modes.
Privacy and AI
Who can see a member's practice?
Only the member. Recordings, transcripts and coaching stay private unless they choose to share an answer's text with their group.
Which AI providers does Classistry use?
OpenAI for the practice partner, coaching and drafting, and ElevenLabs to transcribe recordings and read text aloud. AI is part of how Classistry works. Our Privacy Policy explains what each provider receives.
Do you sell data or show ads?
No. We don't sell personal information and there is no advertising in Classistry.
How old do members need to be?
13 or older. Members under 18 join through an organization that invited them, with a parent's or guardian's permission. More on young members.
For organizations
Who is Classistry for?
Groups that learn and speak together: chapters, clubs, teams and classrooms, and the organizations that bring many of them together.
Do we need an LMS or an IT team?
No. Classistry runs on its own in the browser, and a phone app is on the way.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on your organization and how many chapters take part. Tell us about your organization and we'll walk you through it.
How do we get started?
We're opening Classistry to a small number of organizations first. Talk to us, and we'll show you Hold the Floor with your own questions.
