SocratesCode: AI-Powered Socratic Tutor for Programming
SocratesCode is an AI learning platform that teaches programming by asking questions instead of giving answers. It follows the Socratic method: the tutor guides students to figure things out on their own. You might hear questions like, “Why do you think this would work?” or “How does this connect to what we learned before?” This style encourages students to think critically, test their ideas, and justify their reasoning.
Behind the scenes, several AI agents with specialized roles work together. The system goes from analyzing user knowledge level, understanding progression then gives out approach recommendations in teaching students to giving out encouragement and asking guiding questions. SocratesCode sticks to one key rule: it never hands over the solution. Instead, it leads students through each step, allowing them to build the answer themselves.
Learning happens through live, back-and-forth conversations. Sessions are saved, so students can pause and continue later. The system also adapts to each person’s speed and learning style, making study feel personal and supportive.
By focusing only on programming and keeping to the Socratic approach, SocratesCode turns learning into active problem solving. Students gain a deeper understanding, stronger problem-solving skills, and better long-term memory because they discover the ideas themselves rather than just reading explanations.
