Questions and answers

Is it really Socrates?

No. It's an AI role-play based on what historians know about the figure's life and work. It's a way to learn by asking, so check important facts in your textbook.

Is it free?

Yes. Free accounts get 5 messages a month. Pro is for unlimited chats with every historical figure.

Which language does Socrates speak?

Your language: write in any language and Socrates answers in it.

Is it safe for students?

The figures keep to school-appropriate topics, messages are checked for harmful content, and the AI says when something is uncertain or after the figure's lifetime.
