Proftor/Socrates helps students recall what they learned, think it through, and put it into their own words — guided by Socrates, an AI recall engine that asks, listens, and leads instead of simply giving answers.
Most AI tools give students answers. Proftor/Socrates is designed differently.
It starts from what the student already remembers, then helps them explore, clarify, correct, and complete their understanding.
The aim is not to replace learning with AI.
The aim is to bring thinking back into the learning process.
A lesson can be well taught, well explained, and still fade quickly.
Many students do not build the habit of recalling what they learned after the lesson. They may recognise the topic when they see it again, but struggle to explain it without help.
That missing step matters.
When students recall knowledge, think it through, and put it into their own words, learning becomes more active, more visible, and more durable.
Proftor/Socrates gives students short recall sessions based on learning material.
A session does not begin with a multiple-choice test or a trivia-style question. It begins with an open recall prompt:
From there, Socrates guides the student through the important points of the lesson. It reacts to partial answers, uncertainty, mistakes, and missing ideas — while encouraging the student to phrase knowledge in their own words.
Socrates behaves more like a patient teacher than a quiz bot.
It does not rush to expose what the student does not know. It helps the student start from something, however small, and build from there.
Sometimes the most useful beginning is:
That is not failure. That is where guided thinking can begin.
A short demo can show how Socrates works.
The demo is not a quiz and not a trivia game. It starts with an open question and guides the learner towards the key points of a topic.
Example topics include popular subjects such as The Beatles, Star Wars, Steve Jobs and the iPhone, or Pixar — chosen to make the experience easy to understand before using real course material.
The pilot programme is designed for education providers who want to explore more active, recall-based learning with AI support.
Selected pilot partners receive early access to Proftor/Socrates and direct support during the testing period.
The pilot is not only a software test. It is a shared exploration of how AI can support active learning without making students passive.
The pilot works best when it is used in a real learning context, even on a small scale.
If the pilot is successful, we may also discuss a short public case study or testimonial. This is optional and always agreed separately.
The pilot can start small.
A first test may involve only one topic, one group, or a short learning sequence. The purpose is to observe whether guided recall creates a useful learning experience for students and valuable insight for the education provider.
Proftor/Socrates is currently in an active development and pilot phase.
The aim is to work with selected partners before wider release, so the product can be tested in real learning situations and improved with professional feedback.
The pilot approach keeps the process focused, transparent, and manageable.
