The Socratic Tutor Released

🗣️ The Socratic Tutor

An AI that teaches by asking — not telling.

Passive learning is out. True understanding is sparked by discovery — those powerful “aha!” moments when everything suddenly clicks. The Socratic Tutor doesn’t give answers. Instead, it guides you to them using the timeless Socratic method: a carefully crafted conversation of questions that challenge your thinking, uncover misconceptions, and help you build real, lasting knowledge.

🔍 What Makes It Different?

🧠 Learn by Questioning

Converse with an AI that reacts to your answers. There are no quizzes or info dumps — just a smart, adaptive dialogue that guides you step by step toward clarity.

⭐ Personalized for Every Learner

Tell the tutor your age, and it adjusts everything — vocabulary, tone, analogies, even question complexity. An 8-year-old learning about gravity? A 45-year-old exploring economics? The tutor adapts to you.

🌍 Explore Any Topic

Pick from pre-built lessons like Photosynthesis or Supply & Demand, or dive into a custom subject of your choice — from “How do black holes form?” to “Why did World War I happen?”

🔧 Fully Customizable

Choose between Google Gemini or Mistral AI and fine-tune the exact model you want. Whether you want speed, intelligence, or cost-efficiency, you’re in full control.

🔒 100% Private & Local

Your API key stays only on your device — never sent to any server. Everything runs client-side, so your data is safe, private, and totally under your control.

⚙️ Quick Setup: Use Your Own API Key

To keep the app fast, private, and sustainable, it uses your own API key. Setup takes under 2 minutes:

🧾 End with Insight: The Final Learning Summary

When you finish a session, the tutor doesn’t just stop — it reflects. You'll get a custom summary showing:

• What You Discovered: The insights you arrived at.

• Your Learning Path: How your understanding evolved.

• A Final Explanation: A clear summary to reinforce what you’ve learned.
