How it works

The AI tutor that asks, not answers.

Most learning apps hand out the answer. Dhee asks the next question. Children move from "I remember" to "I understand" to "I can use this anywhere" — guided by Spark, in 15 unhurried minutes a day.

The 3-stage Socratic loop

Every Dhee session moves through three stages. Spark only advances when your child shows real understanding — not just the right word.

1

Surface

Can your child recall the key fact? Spark asks gently. If the answer is rote, Spark digs in. If it shows understanding, Spark moves on.

"What did you learn about photosynthesis today?"

2

Reasoning

Why does it work? Spark probes the why, not just the what. This is where understanding actually forms.

"Why do plants need sunlight specifically — not just any light?"

3

Application

Can your child use the idea in a new situation? A real-world question locks the concept in for life.

"If we kept a tomato plant in your wardrobe for a week, what would happen — and why?"

Voice or text. Whichever your child prefers.

Spark listens to spoken answers in English (with Indian-accent recognition) and reads typed answers too. Audio is processed in real time and never stored. The child is always in control of the pace.

  • Indian-accent speech recognition tuned for children
  • Audio is never stored — transcribed and discarded immediately
  • Type-only mode for shy children or quiet hours

Indian-context analogies, every time

Spark explains using what your child already knows — cricket commentary, dosa batter, auto-rickshaws, monsoon clouds. Not abstract Western examples.

Cricket

A commentator who has watched 500 matches builds a mental model — "this bowler gets wickets on the fifth ball of an over." That's exactly how an AI model works.

Cooking

A grandmother's dal recipe is a compressed pattern distilled from hundreds of attempts. That's an AI model in three lines.

Daily life

When a Class 4 child decides what to wear in the morning, they're running a decision tree. Spark uses that to teach the concept.

Why it sticks

Cognitive Portrait

Dhee builds a quiet 4-axis model of how your child thinks — depth, application, vocabulary, confidence — and adapts every future session to it.

Memory across sessions

Spark remembers what your child mastered, what they struggled with, and which analogy worked. The next session picks up there.

Misconception-aware

Every concept has a list of common mistakes children make. Spark watches for them and addresses them — not just the right answer.

Daily Plan

A short, focused plan each day — not an endless app. Designed for one cup of chai's worth of learning.

Common questions

What is the Socratic method, and why do you use it? +

The Socratic method is a 2,400-year-old teaching style where the teacher asks rather than tells. Children build understanding themselves instead of memorising someone else's answer. Research consistently shows that learners who construct knowledge this way retain and transfer it better than those given direct explanations.

Does Dhee replace the teacher or the textbook? +

No. Dhee is a 15-minute-a-day supplement, not a substitute. School and textbooks introduce concepts; Dhee helps your child internalise them through unhurried, one-on-one questioning that no classroom can deliver at scale.

Can a shy child speak to Dhee? +

Yes. Children can answer by typing or by speaking — whichever feels comfortable. Many shy children warm up faster to Spark than to a human tutor because there is no judgement.

How long is a session? +

About 15 minutes. We deliberately cap session length to respect your child's attention and your day. Quality over duration.
