An AI tutor that guides students through problem-solving using the Socratic method
Scout Chat is an AI-powered tutoring app that helps students learn by asking the right questions instead of giving direct answers. Simply upload a photo of your homework, and Scout Chat will guide you through the solution step-by-step.
Unlike traditional tutoring that simply provides answers, Scout Chat uses the Socratic method—a teaching approach that develops critical thinking skills by encouraging students to discover solutions through guided questioning and exploration.
Take a photo of any homework problem, worksheet, or textbook page. Scout Chat can analyze images of math problems, science questions, reading comprehension, and more.
Chat with your AI tutor in real-time. Ask questions, get hints, and work through problems together in a natural conversation format.
Rather than just getting answers, you'll learn to think through problems systematically and build lasting problem-solving skills.
Scout Chat combines proven educational methodologies with cutting-edge AI to create a truly effective learning experience:
The Socratic Method: This ancient teaching technique, used by philosophers and educators for centuries, helps students develop deeper understanding by encouraging them to question assumptions, analyze information, and discover solutions through guided inquiry.
Clearer Thinking Methodologies: Our AI tutor uses evidence-based reasoning techniques from ClearerThinking.org, including scout mindset (prioritizing truth over being right), nuanced thinking (avoiding false dichotomies), and charitable interpretation of problems to model excellent thinking habits.
Good Epistemics: We emphasize the importance of understanding how we know what we know, helping students develop better judgment about evidence, uncertainty, and the reliability of different sources of information.
