📖 Socrates Bot

Born from reflections on the "LabTec Cultura Digital" course, from the Philosophy Program at UNISINOS, taught in 2025/1 by Prof. Me. Tatiana Costa Leite, this project consists of an Artificial Intelligence chatbot that, mimicking Socrates' persona, provides users with an engaging dialogue with the philosopher! 🤔

Detail from "The Death of Socrates" by Jacques-Louis David. A classic representation of intellectual courage in the face of injustice. A timeless reminder of the transformative impact of ideas and the pursuit of truth, values that also guide technological innovation.
