Wild Zebra the AI tutor

Learn how we built a Socratic AI tutor, used synthetic users for rapid prompt testing, and optimized multi‑model prompts with human‑in‑the‑loop evaluation.

Overview

Wild Zebra is building an AI tutor that applies the Socratic method to teach students various subjects, including math and English. Our prototype has already facilitated over 14,000 conversations in just six weeks. We’ve tested numerous models, including OpenAI, Llama, Gemini, Sonic Cloud, and Sonic Nova, and use a multi-prompt texting system for dynamic engagement. Currently, we’re focused on developing tools to automate prompt testing, optimize their effectiveness, and assess the performance of emerging AI models.
