What’s your personal moat in the age of AI? How do you get better every day?

Athletes train 💪 Musicians practice 🎹 Professionals … scroll LinkedIn?? 🤔

Tyler Cowen and Dave Perrell asked this haunting question. As we transition to a world where expertise is on tap how do we get better at skills where we humans have a comparative advantage?

Ever since the proliferation of GPS devices, smartphones and mapping applications, most of us have lost the ability to navigate two blocks without whipping out our phones. Will AI models slowly atrophy our cognitive muscles? Wall-E’s hilarious sci-fi is becoming too real.

The ancient philosopher Socrates understood the power of wrestling with ideas and provoking questions. Imagine if we all had a Socrates in our pocket to engage in Socratic dialogue daily. A workout for our minds. A cognitive catalyst to improve every day. An infinite source of questions perfectly positioned in our zone of proximal development.

That’s why I’m building Socratify - a conversational AI coach to sharpen your thinking and verbal communication skills.

Answers to any question are now a prompt away. Socratify posits that the question and the struggle it provokes are more important. Socratify is AI that prompts humans, asking us to think generatively and communicate our thinking.

The app is simple. Pick a question, debate AI, get feedback, and sharpen your skills - all in just 5 minutes a day. Our goal is to pose questions that build a cognitive scaffolding to improve your skills every single day.

Our world is full of interesting questions buried in our feeds, rather than swiping them away we should engage with them. We use business as an arena precisely because it’s a domain full of uncertainty and ambiguity. You have to think to see through the haze of fluff and bluster.

Socratify turns business news into a training ground for your skills. It’s an active, engaging alternative to passive book summaries, podcasts, or social media.Explore questions like: • What assumptions underpin the $120B valuation of OpenAI? • How will GLP-1 drugs transform the food industry?• Why on earth does LinkedIn have games?

Socratify isn’t for everyone. It’s for the curious minds. The strivers. The lifelong learners. We want to be the best investment you can make in yourself.
