Readco.ai is an innovative web-based platform designed to foster critical thinking and empathy through engaging animated stories and interactive dialogues with AI agents acting as Socratic guides. The educational resources are tailored for individual learners at a B2 (upper-intermediate) level and will be available via a user-friendly app. Additionally, the platform offers classroom adaptations in six languages: English, Greek, German, French, Turkish, and Bulgarian, supporting diverse learning environments.
