The Feynman Technique, automated

If you can't teach it,
you don't know it.

Teach the AI. It probes your thinking. You discover what you actually know.

For students who want to really get it, and the tutors and teachers who need to know they do.

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 Memorization is obsolete.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.

Grounded in a rubric, not vibes

No AI hands you a number. An AI extracts specific evidence from your explanation against an educator-written rubric; fixed rules turn that evidence into a Mastery Level, L0 to L5, the same transcript always scores the same.

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.

See it in action

Real sessions. Not a sales demo.

Pulled from actual scored conversations, anonymized and left almost exactly as students typed them, typos and all. Watch the AI probe like a curious student, catch a hidden misconception, break down real notation, and land on a level you can trust.

Mastery Mode · Natural Selection

The AI floats a plausible-but-wrong idea as if it's its own confusion. The student hears it out loud, then repairs the misconception on their own.

Reasonate

That's a great explanation of antibiotic resistance! So, if a single bacterium got resistant during its life because of the antibiotic, would its babies automatically be resistant too?

Student

Yes! If the bacterium became resistant because of the antibiotic then its babies would inherit that resistance too. Thats how the population becomes resistant over time

Reasonate

Oh, I see! So if a bacterium changes to become resistant because of the antibiotic, its offspring will get that same resistance? I thought the resistance had to be there already, by chance, before the antibiotic was even introduced. Am I mixing something up?

Student

Oh yeah youre right the resistance as already there by chance before the antibiotic. the antibiotic just kills the non resistant ones it doesnt cause the resistance

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?
