A web-based quiz platform that embeds an AI tutor directly into the assessment interface. The idea is simple: rather than send students off to a chatbot with no structure and no data trail, we give them a built-in assistant — and we decide how it behaves. Built with my TA, Archit.
Instead of students drifting off to ChatGPT on the side — no structure, no data trail — the assistant lives inside the quiz itself, and we control exactly how it behaves.
The tutor never hands over the answer. It asks questions, surfaces the next step, and nudges students toward the reasoning — so the work stays theirs.
Guidance adapts to each student's learning style, meeting them where they are rather than reading from one fixed script.
Every interaction is captured. Instructors see live engagement, chat activity, and study metrics from one dashboard — not a black box.
We ran a randomized controlled trial in my generative AI course. Half the students got the Socratic tutor — one that never gives the answer directly and adapts to each learner's style — and half got a standard large language model. The early data is telling.
Students in the Socratic arm send more chat messages per quiz — they stay in the dialogue rather than fishing for a final answer.
We see fewer tab-away events in the Socratic arm — a signal that the built-in tutor is keeping more of the learning on-platform.
Findings are preliminary and from an in-progress study.
The platform isn't tied to any one subject. We can spin up a new quiz for any course in a matter of hours — all it takes is five to ten questions with model solutions. The same tutor, dashboard, and study instrumentation come along for free.
The platform is in an active research study, so access is limited for now. If you're a faculty member curious about piloting it in one of your courses — or you'd like to see a walkthrough — I'd love to talk.
