> An AI tutor for people who want to understand — built around Socratic dialogue, durable recall, and a knowledge map.

## Understanding begins with a question.

Socrates is an AI tutor for people who want to understand — not just finish an answer. Start where you are. Test the edges of an idea. Return to the useful connection when you need it again.

## Questions become a field of study

Trace a difficult subject through dialogue, recall, and the connections that make it useful again. The Question Atlas is our current home map: it carries a question through evidence, recall, and connected ideas.

## Built around hard questions

We do not make the subject smaller. We make the path into it clearer. Socrates is built for the difficult second week — the period when the early enthusiasm fades and the real work begins.

- **Dialogue over delivery** — The tutor asks before it answers.
- **Recall over novelty** — A useful tutor remembers the path into a question.
- **Practice over consumption** — Understanding grows through retrieval, explanation, and revision.
- **Clarity over spectacle** — The page knows when to be quiet.
- **Your thinking, your data** — Conversations are private. We do not train on them.
