What if, instead of giving you an immediate answer, your AI chatbot of choice helped you find your own? Odyssey challenges the conventions of modern AI interactions by fostering curiosity and developing critical thinking. Rather than giving a direct answer, Odyssey offers a refreshing alternative to “Just ask ChatGPT” by engaging users in socratic inquiry that prompts them to not only explore deeper layers of questioning but rethink their approaches to knowledge and learning.
Inspired by the team's own experiences relying on AI models, Odyssey transforms the act of seeking answers into a multisensory experience. Built on the idea that taking your time to develop an answer can be a good thing, the chatbot encourages (and sometimes forces) users to engage with their physical surroundings such as visiting pertinent museum exhibits or chatting with local scholars. This methodology not only deepens understanding, but fosters a more profound connection with the world around them.
Odyssey redefines the AI-human relationship, shifting it from passive consumption to active exploration. By transforming the pursuit of knowledge into a rewarding journey rather than a transactional moment, Odyssey aims to rekindle a sense of wonder in the learning process. It invites users to embrace the complexities of discovery, making knowledge acquisition an enriching and life-enhancing experience. Through this innovative approach, Odyssey reimagines the role of AI, fostering a more thoughtful and inquisitive society.
