According to Toulmin's model of discussion, evidence of a claim that shows the validity of gap between evidence and claim is important. However, not all people make statements while adding appropriate evidence. Therefore, we thought that if a agent could recommend evidence to supplement their arguments during discussions, it would help the discussions to proceed smoothly. The purpose of this research is that the agent provides evidences and helps discussion based on evidence. For this purpose, we propose a web-based evidence recommendation agent. In this paper, we focus on (1) the extraction of claims from opinions and (2) a method for generating search terms and collecting Web articles, and developed a method using GPT-3. To verify the significance of the agent, we conducted a discussion experiment using the agent. In the experiment, the agent failed to recommend appropriate evidences. But, we found that we could use it in ways we hadn't envisioned.
