Transforms Live Classroom Discussions K-12

Create a Socratic Discussion in Seconds

Imagine a classroom where students aren’t waiting for the teacher’s next question — they’re listening to each other, making connections, and thinking out loud. 

With just a few clicks on an iPad or laptop, you can launch a live, student-centered Socratic discussion that starts with student thinking — and goes further than you imagined.

Powered by SocraBot, a virtual AI classmate, students build discussion skills by engaging with peers, not just the teacher. It’s like playing basketball with ideas — not ping-pong with a teacher.

Transform Student-to-student Engagement

Meet SocraBot — an AI-powered classmate who listens carefully, responds thoughtfully, and prompts deeper thinking as part of the group. This isn’t a chatbot or a script. SocraBot participates naturally, following discussion and participating, modeling how to:

  • Ask meaningful follow-up questions

  • Connect and build on others’ ideas

  • Challenge peers to reason and reflect

It’s a peer model that helps students — and teachers — strengthen classroom dialogue, one question at a time.

Support Every Voice, in Every Language

SocraCircle+ includes multilingual support by design.

Students can post in their native language, and SocraBot will respond in that language and then translate it to English for the whole group.

That means more authentic participation, especially from English learners, and a more inclusive culture of thinking.

Teacher-Guided, Student-Centered

You stay in control of the conversation, supporting big ideas. 

SocraBot supports along the way, modeling Socratic techniques and deepening student-to-student dialogue.

Whether you’re new to Socratic teaching or a seasoned facilitator of Socratic seminars, SocraCircle+ helps make thinking visible and collaboration real.

Your New Virtual Student, Powered by AI

At KnowAtom, we believe questions are the key to learning. That’s why we built SocraCircle+, a classroom tool that brings curiosity, connection, and cognitive rigor to every subject area.

SocraBot joins each conversation as a virtual peer — modeling how to reason, make connections, and grow ideas together in Socratic style group discussions.

It’s not about replacing human interaction— it’s about amplifying and deepening it.

SocraBot also supports English learners by understanding and speaking most languages. It responds to students in their own language while translating the discussion into English for the whole class.
