Proven classroom techniques and direct student feedback, only possible through AI.

Socratic dialogue, teach-back, structured debate — the methods that have always worked in a great seminar can finally extend beyond it. AI holds the conversation; Socrat is the structure. You see how every student is thinking; they leave better at the work.

The problem

What's a good assignment in the age of AI?

The tools your students already use can either erode an assignment, or do its heaviest lifting. Take-home essays don't test what they used to. AI detectors are unreliable, and rules built to limit AI use are worked around almost as fast as they're written.

Socrat is the structure that flips it: assignments designed to be done with AI, evaluated against the concepts you actually want students to grasp. You stop policing tools and start seeing how each student is thinking.

The old question
“How do I keep AI out of this assignment?”
You write narrower prompts, add proctoring, and lose the assignments worth giving.
The question Socrat answers
“What do I want them to understand — and how can AI help them get there?”
You design for AI, not against it. The rubric does the evaluating. You teach with the data.
How it works

One platform, two sides of the same conversation.

What you get

The pieces you actually need in a classroom.

You bring the curriculum and the standards. Socrat handles the conversation, the evaluation, and the picture of how every student is thinking.

Conversation as the assignment

Students complete the work by talking through it — not by writing prose to be graded later.

Visibility into how each student is thinking

A class-wide view of which concepts each student wrestled with, and where they got stuck.

AI TA grounded in your course

Pre-seeded with your syllabus, readings, and lecture notes — students can ask anything about your material and get answers from what you taught.

Pedagogy your institution approves

Conversations and grading run through the techniques your department has chosen — Socratic, mastery-based, problem-based, or your own. Set at the institution or class level.

Misconceptions surfaced for next class

Recurring confusions across the class, named so you can address them before the next lecture.

Students learn how to learn with AI

They leave better at using AI for understanding — not just getting answers.

said Socrat is more useful for actually learning, not just getting answers
AI tends to take the path of least resistance and assume you are correct, but Socrat is direct and explains when I'm wrong which is beneficial.

Your next course could be the one where AI starts feeling useful.
