Prof. Socrates is an intelligent teaching assistant built to support both sides of the classroom. For teachers, it acts as a tireless co-designer — helping draft exams, quizzes, homework assignments, rubrics, and lesson outlines in minutes instead of hours, with full support for math notation, code blocks, tables, and file attachments. For students, it works as a patient one-on-one tutor that explains concepts step by step, generates practice questions, walks through worked examples, and reviews uploaded notes or PDFs to help with revision and exam prep. The platform is built as a full-stack web app with a streaming chat interface, secure email-and-password accounts, and conversation history that's saved and organized in a clean sidebar. Newcomers can try the assistant instantly through temporary accounts — no signup needed for the first few messages — and seamlessly upgrade to a permanent account whenever they're ready, keeping every conversation intact. With LaTeX math rendering, markdown formatting, and file uploads, Prof. Socrates feels less like a chatbot and more like a real teaching partner.

Quantus Analytica is an AI-powered business intelligence platform that democratizes data analysis through conversational AI and stablecoin-based micropayments. Users upload datasets (CSV, Excel, JSON, PDF) and interact with QUANTUS, an autonomous AI analyst powered by Gemini and GPT models. The AI interprets natural language queries, generates Python code for statistical analysis, and produces dynamic visualizations—all without requiring technical expertise. Agentic Commerce Integration: Quantus implements a token-based economy where users purchase analysis tokens using USDC via Circle Arc. Each AI interaction consumes tokens based on complexity, with intelligent auto-model selection choosing between Gemini 2.0 Flash (fast, cost-efficient) and Gemini 1.5 Pro (advanced reasoning) to optimize both performance and cost. Key Features: Conversational Analytics: Ask questions in plain English; receive insights, charts, and statistical summaries Multi-Model Intelligence: Auto-selects optimal AI model (Gemini/GPT) based on query complexity USDC Micropayments: Seamless stablecoin payments via Circle Arc for token purchases Usage Tracking: Real-time dashboard showing token consumption, costs, and payment history Secure Execution: Sandboxed Python environment for verified, accurate data analysis Quantus represents the future of autonomous commerce—where AI agents deliver value on-demand, users pay only for what they use, and all transactions settle instantly in USDC on Arc.

In this hybrid hackathon powered by Arc and Circle, developers will build the next generation of Agentic economic applications using Circle’s Nanopayments infrastructure with settlement on Arc in USDC. For the first time, high-frequency, usage-based transactions between users, APIs, and AI agents can operate without gas overhead eroding margin. Arc provides stablecoin-native settlement with predictable, dollar-denominated USDC fees and deterministic, sub-second finality — enabling real-time coordination and economically viable per-action pricing at scale. 📅 April 20 – 26, 2026 • Apr 20 – 25 (Online): Submit projects by Apr 25. • Apr 25 (On-site Build – SF, CA): Teams refine projects. • Apr 26 (On-site Demos & Awards – SF, CA): Live pitches & winners announced.
