The Socratic AI coach for deep work. Explic prevents "cognitive atrophy" by guiding you through problems layer-by-layer. Using First Principles, it helps you find the logic yourself instead of handing you the final answer. Master the concept, don't just solve it.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Will.
Honest question: Does anyone else feel like AI is making us... kind of lazy? 😅
I realized recently that whenever generic AI instantly dumped code or an answer on me, my brain just turned off. I was "solving" the problem, but I wasn't learning. That scared me. It felt less like education and more like... data transfer.
So, I built an "Anti-ChatGPT."
Meet Explic. It’s a Socratic AI that explicitly refuses to give you the answer straight away. Instead, it breaks complex problems down into "First Principles" and questions you until you find the logic yourself.
It’s designed for:
👩💻 Devs: Stop copy-pasting from StackOverflow. Understand why the loop failed.
🎓 Students: Derive the formula yourself, don't just cheat on the homework.
🧠 Polymaths: Grasp concepts like "Quantum Entanglement" deeply (try our Depth Slider!).
🎁 PH Community Launch Offer: I want everyone to experience this new way of thinking.
Try it 100% FREE: No credit card required. Just jump in and challenge Socrates.
PH Exclusive Deal: Get 50% OFF the first month ($9.90 instead of $19.90).
🔑 Code: PRO50OFF (First 100 users, valid for 2 weeks).
I’m a solo founder and this is my first launch. I'll be hanging out in the comments all day! 👇
Please roast my app: Is the "guide-not-solve" approach actually helpful, or just annoying? I can take the heat, promise!
Let’s bring "Thinking" back to AI. 🧠 Cheers, Will
