SocratGPT

SocratGPT is an application that utilizes OpenAI's GPT model to simulate a Socratic dialogue. Inspired by the SocraticAI project by Princeton NLP, it aims to facilitate an interactive learning environment where the user can explore complex questions through an engaging, back-and-forth conversation.

• User-friendly Interface: Built with Streamlit, the application provides a clean and straightforward interface for user interactions.

Setup

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Streamlit
• LangChain
• OpenAI API key

Steps

1. Clone the repository.
2. Install the necessary dependencies using pip install -r requirements.txt.
3. Run the app locally using streamlit run app.py.
4. Input your OpenAI API key when prompted in the application.

Usage

After setting up the application, you can start asking questions to the AI. The AI, acting as Socrates, Theaetetus, and Plato, will collaboratively attempt to answer your questions, ask clarifying queries, or provide deeper insights.

Please note that this is a conversational AI, and the quality of the responses will depend on the capabilities of the underlying GPT-3 model.

Limitations and Disclaimer
