    So innovative! I've talked to your goose and I found this is really a great way to test whether I truly understand concept. I don't know how the goose thinks, maybe it would be even better if it allowed me to upload my own data and ask questions based on that context.

      Yeah, that's not the first time I've been suggested that feature. It's still being activley devloped so be on the look out for it :).

      I was literally just about to say this. It’s similar to what a lot of really good teachers do: students use them as a “rubber duck,” and then they respond as an almost Socratic guide.

      I've actually used that approach during my years teaching ESL - self-discovery often leads to the most persistent (long-term) lessons.

    This sounds awesome ... is there a way to enter text rather than talking? I'm guessing yes, but I can't see where

      Yes there is, in settings, switch to text mode!

    Does your goose talk to other geese?[1]

    Does nothing on Firefox Android. You can't even see the error because of overlapping elements.

    This is the sort of behavior that got Socrates killed btw.
