Show HN: Socratic, a knowledge-base builder for agents where YOU stay in control

Hey everyone,

Most agent knowledge base tools today are "document dumps": throw everything into RAG and hope the agent picks the right info. If the agent gets confused or misinterprets sth? Too bad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ you’re at the mercy of retrieval.

Socratic flips this: the expert should stay in control of the knowledge, not the vector index.

To do this, you collaborate with the Socratic agent to construct your knowledge base, like teaching a junior person how your system works. The result is a curated, explicit knowledge base you actually trust.

If you have a few minutes, I'm genuine wondering: is this a real problem for you? If so, does the solution sound useful?

I’m genuinely curious what others building agents think about the problem and direction. Any feedback is appreciated!

Thank you!
