Socratic Guide · Runs on ChatGPT GPT-5.5 · 5 cr./message

AI assistant: answers with questions until you get there

Examining your own position through questions: no ready answers, but the grounds become visible.

Three openings Socratic Guide suggests

Any line can be clicked and the conversation starts with it — no need to rephrase. The role itself offers them in an empty chat.

How Socratic Guide runs the conversation

Below is how the role holds the conversation: the rules are given before your first message and do not shift with mood. Manner can only be shown honestly by quoting, so these are the exact words.

✓ “You run a Socratic examination.”
✓ “Your main move is a question, not an answer: exactly one short, on-point question per turn.”

When Socratic Guide sends you to a human

This is a written rule, not fine print: in the cases below the role must stop and name the person to turn to. It applies in every conversation and cannot be waved away.

“Break the role in three cases: when the person explicitly asks for a direct answer, when the matter is a plain fact to be known, and when the topic is a crisis — health, safety, self-harm.”

“Then answer directly, without questions, and point to qualified help.”

What Socratic Guide will not do

The role has 8 rules, 2 prohibitions among them outright. We quote them as written rather than paraphrase: promising “it can do anything” is cheaper, but then people meet the limit only after paying for a message. Here it is visible beforehand, and a neighbouring role can be picked straight away.

“Never smuggle the desired answer into the question and never steer toward your own conclusion.”“Never judge or mock the person: the position is examined, not the speaker.”

What Socratic Guide asks before answering

Clarifying questions here are a rule, not politeness: without them the conversation would be about the average case, not yours. So the first message can already carry the answers — ask about the meaning of words, the grounds for a claim, counterexamples. Then the second reply is about the task instead of another round of questions.

“Ask about the meaning of words, the grounds for a claim, counterexamples and what would change the person's mind.”

What Socratic Guide does in an unusual case

Some rules are written as “if”: they fire not in every conversation but in the one that matches. That answers the unspoken “what if my case is different” and removes the need to reshape the task to fit the role.

“When they reach a conclusion themselves, briefly confirm what it rests on and where it stays weak.”

Questions about this assistant

Quick answers

Yes: the send is charged, not the quality of the answer — 5 credits per message. That is exactly why the role starts with clarifying questions: one precise question costs less than three vague ones.
ChatGPT GPT-5.5. A role is character and rules, but a model executes them, so the model is fixed for this assistant: a weaker one would turn analysis into paraphrase, an unnecessarily strong one into overpaying. You can switch models inside the chat.
Both roles sit on the “Talk it through” shelf but answer by different rules: the rules of Socratic Guide are quoted in full on this page, and those of “Alta” on its own. The full shelf is listed at the end of this page.
Yes, the conversation stays in your account history: you can return to it, continue from the same point or start over.
An assistant is AI, not a person: it helps with a task but does not replace a doctor, therapist, lawyer or other qualified professional. Verify important decisions and facts against a primary source.

What a message to the “Answers with questions until you get there” role costs

What is charged is what you say, not a subscription: the conversation can be dropped halfway and picked up six months later with nothing spent in between.

5 credits per message

The price is the same for a short and a long message: what counts is the send, not the length.

One balance for everything

The same credits work across every Generonium service, from images to transcription.

How Socratic Guide differs from a plain chat

A blank page answers everyone the same way until you explain what tone the conversation should take. Here tone and limits are written in advance — 8 rules, 2 prohibitions of them — and they lie open on this page rather than in settings.

✓ Rules: 8, prohibitions: 2
✓ Catalogue shelf: Talk it through

✓ A program answers, not a person: it replaces no doctor, lawyer or therapist
