Socratic is a learning app powered by Google AI, designed to help high school and university students understand their schoolwork and get unstuck when facing difficult problems. Using text and speech recognition, the app surfaces the most relevant online learning resources for any question a student asks. The result is a fast, focused experience that connects learners to explanations, videos, and step-by-step guides across multiple subjects.
Built with input from teachers, Socratic provides visual explanations of important concepts in each subject area. Rather than simply delivering answers, the app emphasizes genuine understanding by combining expert-created study guides with a wide variety of online resources gathered in one place. Students can work through concepts at their own pace using materials curated for clarity and depth.
Socratic supports Science, Math, Literature, Social Studies, and more. The app covers Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, History, and Literature. Whether a student needs to decode a chemistry equation, analyze a passage of fiction, or solve a geometry problem, the app draws on Google AI to match the question with the most useful learning content available online.
