Gadfly Machines

What is it?

Gadfly Machines is a workshop where the Socratic method meets AI for humans — building thoughtful digital tools and experimental apps.

We’re currently in alpha.

Focus Areas

Traditions of Thought
From the Great Books to the Socratic method, we draw from enduring conversations rather than fixed canons.
Tools That Question Back
We explore how AI and interface design can spark reflection—not just deliver answers.
Learning Systems, Rethought
Beyond platforms or classrooms: what new shapes can learning take when rooted in wonder, critique, and clarity?
From Provocation to Prototype
We follow ideas from first questions to first tools—thinking as a mode of building.

Current Status

Alive. Early-stage. Privately building.
