WhatAn AI homework assistant that uses Socratic questioning and adaptive hints — never giving answers directly — with a parent/teacher dashboard showing learning engagement vs. answer-seeking behavior.
SignalCommenters broadly agree AI is genuinely useful for getting unstuck on homework (alternative explanations, flow state), but are deeply worried kids will just use it to generate answers and skip learning entirely — the core tension is assistance vs. replacement.
