CodeSensei

AI sensei that teaches programming through Socratic dialogue

What it does

Most developers learn from AI by asking questions and getting answers. CodeSensei flips that — an AI sensei asks YOU questions, Socratic-style, to surface what you actually know. Pick from 38 topics across Junior and SeniorNET tracks, have an adaptive conversation, then prove your understanding with a 5-question scenario-based quiz. Earn grades from Needs Work to Mastered, track streaks, unlock achievements, and rank up from Little Grasshopper to Sensei. Free. Built with Blazor and Claude.

    I built a "Socratic" AI to stop my daughter from copy-pasting homeworkFeb 2026 · thinkqurio.com · ▲35

    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…
