SummaryMaike, a Socratic chatbot for argumentative writing, uses argument diagnosis, targeted questions, and a student model across separate thinking and writing modes. In a study of 65 secondary-school students, about 40% improved essay scores; Maike users held more idea-level dialogue and iteratively moved between discussion and editing.
Why it mattersThe controlled comparison and transition-level analysis offer a concrete design test for whether dialogue changes revisions, useful beyond the specific chatbot and classroom.
