    Hey HN, I’m a dev and a dad to a 10-year-old. I built this because I caught my daughter using ChatGPT to do her history homework. She wasn't learning; she was just acting as a "middleware" between the AI and the paper. The Backstory: I realized the problem isn't the AI—it's the zero-friction answers. Most "AI for kids" apps are just "parrots"—they mimic intelligence by repeating patterns. What’s Different: Qurio is a "Bicycle" for the mind. It treats the child like a future "Architect" rather than a "Junior Executor." Technically, it wraps an LLM in a strict "Socratic Loop." It detects…

    Socratify is an AI coach for early stage professionals to sharpen their critical thinking and verbal communication skills Ever since ChatGPT came out, I've been using it to debate and learn new ideas. Having a short insightful conversation where AI coaches you can be powerful but it's hard to get right with a general purpose chat LLM because they don't propose stories, lack context and don't track progression I'm building Socratify with the hypothesis that a product built around AI questioning humans and proposing interesting questions daily can be 100x more rewarding than book summaries and…

    As a student, I was trained to play the formal education game—flashcards, diagrams, fastidiously organized notes. But as a 32-year-old, I’m disappointed by the knowledge and understanding I’ve retained over time. And without the familiar game of formal education to play, I’m often at a loss for how to learn new topics that are interesting but intimidating to me. AI has the potential to change the way people learn, and existing tools show promise. But I’m still dissatisfied—these tools often dump knowledge on me without helping me integrate it into my understanding. --- I built Stella to…
