Socrates
The in-task AI coach inside Spark, Flux, Foundry, and Echo — grounded in your class, syllabus, and the material you provide.
What Socrates is
Socrates is the coach inside an assignment session. Oracle is the general class assistant in the floating panel. They do different jobs and you control them separately.
In Spark and Flux, Socrates helps students develop their own answers and structure — stretching thinking without handing over a finished paragraph or essay. In Foundry, Socrates rehearses skills you have flagged as gaps. In Echo, Socrates closes a missed revision item with one short, guided line after a retry — not a long coaching chat. You set ask limits where the app supports them.
Socrates is not a blank chatbot. It draws on your education authority syllabus (for example SCSA), the class, the student’s year group, and any links or document notes you — or the student, in Playground — provide.
Vs Oracle
- Socrates lives inside the assignment — Spark session, Flux essay, Foundry practice, Echo retry
- Oracle lives in the class-wide floating panel for general help
- Turning Oracle off does not turn Socrates off
- Both are expected to support honest, learning-focused work — not shortcuts
