Socraitic — Guided Intelligence

AI tutor for schools · Microsoft Teams

An AI tutor for schools that helps pupils think, not just copy

Socraitic brings curriculum-led, Socratic learning support into Microsoft Teams for Education. It is designed to prompt pupils to think through school learning rather than simply hand over an answer.

A guided approach to AI tutoring

Many general-purpose AI tools are built to respond to a wide range of prompts. Socraitic is positioned differently: as a school learning assistant using Socratic questioning and learning materials selected by the school.

Prompt thinking

Use questions and prompts to encourage recall, explanation and reasoning.

Connect to school learning

Keep the experience curriculum-led and based on materials approved for the school’s intended use.

Designed for Teams

Explore a school AI tutoring experience within the Microsoft Teams environment.

These describe Socraitic’s intended product approach, not a guarantee that every response will be correct or appropriate. Schools should review the product, configuration and supporting evidence for their own context.

What schools should review before choosing an AI tutor

An AI tutor is still an AI system. Before a pilot, school leaders and relevant colleagues should review the actual service and agree how it will be used.

Learning purpose Which year groups, subjects and learning activities are in scope, and how will the school evaluate their value?
Curriculum materials Which resources can inform the tutor, who approves them, and what happens if the response is inaccurate or outside scope?
Safeguarding and oversight How are concerns handled, who is notified, and how do pupils know when they need to speak with a trusted adult?
Data protection and security Ask for deployment-specific information on data flows, retention, subprocessors, access and deletion before approval.
Staff roles and permissions Confirm which staff can configure access and materials, and how the school reviews use and responds to concerns.
Accessibility and inclusion Assess whether the proposed experience is suitable for pupils’ needs and supports equitable access.

Socraitic’s own school information explains that data flows, storage locations, subprocessors and deployment boundaries should be reviewed for the proposed deployment. A Teams interface alone should not be treated as proof of where data is stored or processed.

A sensible way to evaluate an AI tutor

  1. Define the pilot. Choose a limited subject, year group and learning purpose.
  2. Complete due diligence. Include teaching, safeguarding, IT and data protection colleagues.
  3. Agree success measures. Consider learning quality, accuracy, pupil experience, staff workload and safety.
  4. Keep human oversight clear. Make responsibilities and routes for asking for help understandable to staff and pupils.
  5. Review and decide. Use feedback and evidence to continue, adjust or stop the pilot.
