Our story
We don't hand out answers. We hand out the right questions.
MiaCortex was born when two builders watched a generation of students outsource their thinking to autocomplete. We decided to build the opposite — an AI that makes you stronger, not lazier.

Philosophy
The Socratic method, ported to 2025.
Socrates didn't lecture. He asked questions until truth surfaced from his student's own mind. We rebuilt that loop with an AI that knows when to push, when to nudge, and when to step back — so the insight is always yours.
- Questions before answers.
- Hints unlock progressively, never spoiling the path.
- Code analysis explains why, not just what.
- Six tutor personalities so the dialogue fits you.
