# Classy AI

> Classy AI is a personalized AI learning platform built on Harvard research. Its AI tutor, Socrates, uses Socratic questioning to guide students toward understanding rather than giving them answers. Ethical and accessible learning made easy.

## About

Classy AI developed Socrates, a personalized AI tutor that strengthens reasoning instead of replacing it. Built on the Generative Learning framework developed at Harvard, Socrates uses guided questions, active recall, and adaptive difficulty to help students develop deeper comprehension, critical thinking, and long-term retention.

- Founded at Harvard Innovation Labs
- 2026 Harvard President's Innovation Challenge Semifinalist
- Based on peer-reviewed research: [SocratiQ (arXiv:2502.00341)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.00341)
- Produces 88% less emissions than standard AI tools

## How It Works

1. Upload course material (PDF lecture notes, textbook chapters, readings)
2. Ask about anything you're stuck on
3. Socrates responds with guided questions instead of direct answers
4. Your reasoning is evaluated and the next prompt adapts dynamically
5. Test yourself with adaptive quizzes and track progress

## For Students

- Socratic questioning builds real understanding
- Every response is grounded in your actual course material
- Adaptive difficulty adjusts to your current level
- Quizzes, streaks, badges, and knowledge graphs track progress

## For Educators

- Live question aggregation shows what students are asking across sessions
- Confusion pattern detection identifies where students get stuck
- Anonymous by default — students ask freely
- Works with existing course material (syllabus, slides, readings)
- Institutional deployment with per-section dashboards and admin controls

## Pricing

- Free tier: 3 sessions per day
- Student plan ($4.99/month): Unlimited sessions, quiz mode, progress tracking
- Institutional: Custom pricing, admin console, multi-section support

## Key Stats

- 4x deeper engagement per session vs standard AI tools
- 6 cognitive levels. Questions span all levels of Bloom's Taxonomy — from recall to creation — adapting as you grow.
- 100% Bounded learning. Every response is anchored to actual course material — not the open internet. Bounded Learning ensures accuracy and relevance.
