The Feynman Technique, automated

In the age of AI,
the only proof of understanding
is teaching it back.

Reasonate is a new assessment framework that scores how students reason, not just what they answer. You teach the AI. It probes your thinking. You discover what you actually know.

15 curated topics · 3 reasoning sessions graded · powered by Gemini

The grade-school system
is breaking.

AI can answer any question. Memorization is obsolete. Students copy. Teachers can't tell who actually understands. Reasonate measures what's left: your reasoning.

Reasoning, not regurgitation

Students explain concepts in their own words. The AI probes their reasoning the way a curious learner would. Surface-level answers get follow-ups. Hand-waving gets caught.

Scores grounded in rubrics

Every score is calibrated against an educator-written rubric, judged across 5 dimensions: accuracy, coverage, depth, clarity, and resilience under questioning.

AI-proof by design

You can't cheat the AI by pasting an answer. The conversation evolves dynamically — what mattered was your understanding, not your phrasing.

How it works

Three steps. No flashcards, no quizzes, no fill-in-the-blanks.

1

Pick or upload a topic

Choose from curated topics, or drop in a PDF, paste a reading, or share a URL. We extract teachable Feynman topics automatically.

2

Teach the AI

Explain the concept like you're teaching a curious student. The AI asks the follow-up questions a real learner would ask — and catches what you don't fully understand.

3

Get scored. Climb leaderboards.

Receive a mastery score from 0–100 across 5 dimensions, plus strengths, weaknesses, and misconceptions. Earn XP. Unlock achievements. Compete per-topic.

Sample student transcript
Reasonate

So you're saying plants 'make food from sunlight' — what does that actually mean? What's being made, exactly?

Student

They make glucose. The chlorophyll captures light energy and uses it to combine CO2 and water.

Reasonate

OK but the energy from light — how does that physically end up in the glucose molecule? What's the mechanism?

Student

The light energy excites electrons in chlorophyll. Those electrons go through an electron transport chain to make ATP and NADPH, which the Calvin cycle then uses to build glucose from CO2.

Reasonate

That's solid. Quick check — why do you specifically need both ATP and NADPH for the Calvin cycle, not just one?
