Buckeye mentioned the new MaxThink PERM implementation:

Somewhat apropos, there is a new free argument analysis template for Tana:

And the Roam Research discourse graph tool has been revived, along with plans for Notion and Obsidian implementations:

Of course there are many, and one can design one's own, but one more that is currently active:

GPT4o claims to know how to apply the Toulmin hexagon framework, and can produce results similar to the Miller-Altshule template for Tana. Not surprising, since the Tana template uses ChatGPT (and, optionally, others) in the underlying Tana command structure.
Perhaps we should be skeptical about LLM argument-analyses results, due to the persistent lack of actual intelligence in the models. As Ronnie said - trust but verify.

Right. LLMs are mimetic machines which reverse engineer the appearance of intelligence. Although they can be deceptive, they can also be useful if used with understanding.
