Socratic is an AI-powered homework help and learning app that lets students photograph or type a question and receive curated explanations, videos, and step-by-step resources across math, science, literature, and social studies. Founded in 2013 and backed at the early stage by investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Socratic was acquired by Google in 2018 and now operates as "Socratic by Google," a free consumer mobile app whose homework-help capabilities have largely been folded into Google Lens. Socratic publishes no public API, developer portal, SDKs, or documented developer surface; this profile records it as an acquired consumer product with no independent API footprint.
