About Gnophy
Gnophy is a modern philosophy companion. Chat with AI‑powered philosopher personas, explore interconnected ideas through a knowledge graph, and practice critical thinking via Socratic dialogue.
Our Mission
Make philosophy accessible, interactive, and useful for everyday reasoning. Gnophy pairs high‑quality source material with a structured knowledge graph and conversational AI so you can learn through inquiry—not memorization.
What Gnophy Offers
Philosopher Personas
Converse with AI personas grounded in primary texts and curated summaries. Toggle between thinkers to compare views and develop your own positions.
Knowledge Graph of Ideas
Concepts, themes, and relationships are modeled in a graph so you can follow how ideas connect across authors, eras, and schools.
Semantic Search
Search beyond keywords. Gnophy leverages vector similarity to surface passages and topics that are conceptually related to your query.
Voice & Text Chat
Ask questions by typing or speaking. Transcripts flow into the same chat timeline for a seamless learning experience.
How It Works (High‑Level)

- Application Data: MongoDB persists chat sessions and supporting metadata.
