Current Assumption

"Students learn more effectively when an AI guides them through reasoning steps (Socratic method) instead of providing direct answers."

Target User
Students (K-12 and university) who need guided problem-solving support, not just answer lookup.
Phase
Signal Detection

Decision Framework

○ Intent

Test whether students engage differently with a Socratic AI tutor vs. a direct-answer tool — and whether that engagement leads to better learning outcomes.

○ Assumption

Students learn more effectively when an AI guides them through reasoning steps (Socratic method) instead of providing direct answers.

○ Experiment Design

Deploy to a cohort of 30 students across two subject areas. Measure session length, return rate, and self-reported understanding vs. a control group using a standard Q&A AI.

○ Decision Gates
  • If avg session > 8 min AND return rate > 40% -> Scale
  • If students skip Socratic prompts consistently -> Pivot to hybrid mode
  • If no measurable learning difference -> Stop
○ Current Decision

Validate core Socratic interaction loop with real students

Current Position

  • Phase: Signal Detection / Validation.
  • Testing: Does the Gemini Live + camera combo enable a natural tutoring experience? Do students stay in the Socratic loop or abandon it?
  • Decision Gates: If session > 8 min AND return > 40% → Scale.
