Dan Wang, Johanna Chouraqui, and the CAiSEY team are using OpenAI’s Realtime API to turn class prep into live practice for discussion, debate, and ambiguity.
Voice may matter because it exposes unfinished thinking. Writing encourages polish; conversation exposes uncertainty, forces iteration, and reveals gaps in reasoning. That's a different cognitive process.
“Rehearse their thinking before it matters publicly” is the idea that stayed with me.
A written response often shows the neat version. Voice exposes the searching, hesitation, revision, and the exact point where an idea either develops roots or falls apart.
That makes AI much more interesting than a preparation shortcut. It becomes a low-stakes place to test a thought, be challenged, and discover what you actually believe before entering the room.
The best part is that the classroom discussion isn’t replaced—it arrives with more substance already inside it.
