The questions to
which Sokrateque
is the answer.
An ambitious AI research company from Amsterdam, helping
people liberate themselves from dull, routine knowledge work.
More IQ for you.
The answer to a
simple question.
Sokrateque exists because we stumbled onto AI-powered research five years before anybody else — long before generative AI. It started in 2017, with a simple question. One of us worked as a leadership communication adviser for the founder of one of the world's largest automotive component suppliers, who asked that question.
“Can you do a study to understand which forces drive the adoption of Electric Vehicles globally, and by when we will see an inflection point in sales?”
The small research team needed about 5 weeks to collect the necessary data, and had only 1 week left to do the analysis before the deadline. So we asked:
"Can't we use technology to flip this around, so we spend one week gathering data and five weeks adding the real value — doing the analysis?"
This brought Sokrateque into existence, leading to the tool you can now use.
Questions as the answers.
In the coming years, millions of professionals and students will spend more time on an AI research platform like Sokrateque than on a search engine or chatbot.
The interesting part is how it will change how we learn, work and think — just like the computer, the radio, the phone and the book changed us. We co-evolve with our tools.
It will move companies, universities and schools away from information reproduction toward imagination — from knowing the right answers, to asking the right questions.
This is a revolution.
The question is, how do we design the tools for it? Our answer will have a huge impact on our work and lives.
Tech vs. people.
As a global society, we're in the phase of figuring out what this technology means and what it's for.
Most competitors explore every possibility of making their technology the most powerful. They're focused on the tech — and we let them have that.
They aren't thinking deeply about how this technology can make people smarter and more creative today — how it can help us achieve more wellbeing and wisdom.
Wrapping tech in a nice interface doesn't mean thinking about people. Sokrateque could do that too — but since others already are, we don't need to.
Bringing you closer to
your potential.
We want to learn how some of the smartest people who ever lived actually think, and use AI so the rest of us gain access to some of that brilliance too.
That's why Sokrateque's follow-up questions are designed to counter blind spots in our thinking, like confirmation bias.
It's why we show multiple answers, all exact quotes from sources, to help you counter misinformation. It's why answers are short quotes — to filter the flood of information we face daily, rather than generating even more text for you to read.
We remove the distractions, so you can push your cognitive abilities to their limit and distill knowledge — or wisdom — out of all that information.
We believe this brings you closer to your potential. And when it does, we all benefit. When a hundred people do it, or thousands, it has a real impact.
