Newsletter 314: "Dad, Can We Learn With ChatGPT Again?"—And Why Your Answer Matters

🧠 Watch Dyslexic Learning Actually Work + The Platform We Built to Make It Possible

Matt "Coach" Ivey
November 14, 2025

A Personal Note (The Kind Where I'm Brutally Honest)

We're back to homeschooling. Both kids. Makena in eighth grade, Kailer in fifth.

As of this past week.

It's been... a lot.

That's partly why the newsletters have been inconsistent. Life happens. Transitions happen. Sometimes you make the best decision you can, and then reality forces you to pivot.

But yesterday morning, something happened that reminded me why I started this two years ago.

Kailer asked me a question that stopped me in my tracks:

"Dad, can we do that ChatGPT learning thing again? Where it asks me questions?"

We were supposed to be doing his regular science lesson. Worksheets. Reading comprehension questions. The usual homeschool grind.

But two days ago, we'd tried something different.

We watched an episode of Wild Kratts on PBS—the one about arctic wolves. I grabbed the transcript, uploaded it to ChatGPT, and asked it to act as a Socratic teacher.

Not to quiz him. Not to test him.

To have a conversation with him about what he learned.

And for 20 minutes, I watched my 5th-grade son engage with the material in a way that traditional worksheets never achieve.

He wasn't filling in blanks to prove he paid attention.

He was having a conversation. Exploring ideas. Processing out loud.

And when he asked yesterday if we could "do that ChatGPT learning thing again," I realized:

This is what 320 newsletters have been building toward.

Not just theory about cognitive partnership. Not just frameworks about dyslexic thinking advantages.

Actual tools that actually work for actual dyslexic kids learning in real time.

So today, I'm going to show you:

The video of Kailer learning with his cognitive partner
Why this approach works for dyslexic brains (the cognitive science)
What we've built at dyslexic.ai to make this accessible
The research hypothesis backing everything
Why I need your help to keep building

This is the most vulnerable newsletter I've written. Because I'm going to be honest about what's working, what needs proving, and what it takes to continue.

Now let me show you what we've been building...

Watch It Work: Kailer's Socratic Learning Session

Before I explain anything, just watch.

You'll see what a voice-based Socratic conversation with AI actually looks like for a dyslexic learner.

This is cognitive partnership in action.

Now let me explain why this approach works...

Why Traditional Learning Fails Dyslexic Brains (And What Actually Works)

Here's what would have happened with traditional learning:

The Standard Approach:

Read the chapter
Answer comprehension questions
Write a summary
Take a quiz

Typical Dyslexic Experience:

Hour+ of struggling
Frustration halfway through
Needing constant redirection
Retaining maybe 30% of information
Feeling like learning is hard

The Cognitive Partner Approach:

Watch something engaging (video)
Talk about it out loud (voice-to-voice with AI)
Follow natural curiosity (Socratic questions)
Make connections through conversation

What I Observed:

Completely engaged for 20 minutes
Didn't need me to redirect once
Two days later, asked to do it again
Still remembers the content

Same content. Completely different cognitive process.

Here's the science behind why this approach works:

1. Voice Over Text

No fighting with spelling, handwriting, or organizing written thoughts.

Just... thinking. Out loud.

That's how dyslexic brains process best.

When you remove the text barrier, you remove the cognitive load that drains energy from actual learning.

2. Socratic Instead of Interrogative

The AI isn't testing. It's exploring.

"What do you think...?"
"Why might that be...?"
"How does that connect to...?"

Questions that invite thinking, not questions that demand proving.

This matches what Virginia Tech researchers found (Newsletter 315): neurodivergent users naturally gravitate toward AI that asks open-ended questions rather than closed-ended tests.

3. Multiple Representations

The video provided visual learning
The conversation enabled verbal processing
The AI helped connect both

Dyslexic minds need multiple ways to encounter the same information.

This is exactly what Google's Learn Your Way research proved (Newsletter 313): when content adapts to cognitive style instead of forcing cognitive style to adapt to content, retention and comprehension improve dramatically.

4. Following Natural Curiosity

The conversation goes where the learner's interest goes.

The learning follows the brain's natural associations, not a predetermined linear sequence.

This is associative learning—exactly how dyslexic minds excel.

The 10-80-10 Rule in Action

Remember the framework from Newsletter 312?

Dyslexic minds excel at:

First 10%: Creative ideation, pattern recognition, making novel connections
Last 10%: Intuition, empathy, knowing what matters

We struggle with:

Middle 80%: Linear organization, sustained detail work, sequential execution

In this learning session:

First 10% (Learner's Strength):

Making unexpected connections
Generating their own questions
Seeing patterns across different contexts

Middle 80% (AI Handled):

Organizing thoughts into coherent flow
Maintaining focus on the topic
Structuring the conversation
Providing vocabulary support

Last 10% (Learner's Strength):

Intuiting what's interesting or important
Making empathetic connections
Deciding what to explore deeper

AI doesn't replace thinking. It removes the barriers to thinking.

The Actual Prompts I Used (From the Real Session)

Here are the exact prompts I used in the conversation you'll see in the video. These aren't theoretical—this is what actually worked:

Initial Setup Prompt:

Since you've been a great lifelong learning partner, and we think you could 
help create individualized learning plans over time, I'd like your thoughts 
on how we could engage you better. Whether it's you asking us more questions, 
providing more resources, or how we could continue to make this a better tool 
for Kailer and me to use on a daily basis.

Also, is this conversation going to be saved? Would we be able to build off 
this conversation in future Wild Kratts episodes and really hone in on the 
memory of this conversation?

Context I Provided:

Kailer is watching Wild Kratts right now. I'm allowing him to watch it because 
I consider it educational. I want to make these teachable moments. If he's 
going to watch an episode, then he'll have a conversation with ChatGPT about 
the episode—discuss the topics further, show that he learned something, and 
see how we can apply it.

He's 11 years old, in 5th grade. He's reading at probably high end of 3rd 
grade level. His math is pretty close to being on par, but he just hasn't 
learned the concepts from the end of 4th grade into 5th grade.

The best option would be if we could engage with these Wild Kratts episodes 
where he tells which episode he watched, then engages in a Socratic 
conversation or discussion that leads to some activities or other examples 
of things we could do at home to talk about this further.

The result? A 20-minute engaged learning session that Kailer asked to do again.

This is what cognitive partnership looks like in practice.

What We've Actually Built at Dyslexic.AI

Watching Kailer learn this way reminded me: we've been building this for two years.

Time to show you what's actually live.

Go to dyslexic.ai and here's what you'll find:

The Opening Message

Right at the top:

"AI Tools for Dyslexia: Build Your Cognitive AI Partner"

"ORGANIC INTELLIGENCE × ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE"

Your organic intelligence—the way your dyslexic brain sees patterns, makes connections, thinks laterally.

Plus artificial intelligence—LLMs that can adapt to how you process information.

Equals: a cognitive partner that works WITH your brain, not against it.

The mission:

"Join a community where I teach people with dyslexia and neurodivergent minds how to build custom AI assistants. Learn the prompts, workflows, GPTs, and AI agents that transform assistive technology for dyslexia into your cognitive partner."

Not me building tools for you to passively consume.

Me teaching you how to build your own cognitive AI partners.

Like what Kailer and I did yesterday morning. But systematized so you can do it too.

The 90+ Prompts Library (Testing the Hypothesis)

Click "Prompts" in the navigation.

90+ specialized prompts. Live right now.

Each prompt includes:

The exact scenario
When to use it
Who it's for
Relevant tags
The full prompt you can copy

These prompts are part of the research. When you use them and tell me what works, you're helping validate the frameworks behind them.

The Interactive Demo

On the main page: "Demo: Sample AI Assistant - See What You'll Learn to Build"

A working demo with tabs for:

🧠 General
👩‍🏫 Teachers
📚 Students
🚀 Entrepreneurs
💼 Professionals
🎯 Coaches

Each shows the AI assistant customized for that specific role.

This connects to Newsletter 308 (Your AI Career Thought Partner) and Newsletter 306 (The Creative Revolution).

Now you can see what cognitive partnership actually looks like.

Not theory. Working examples.

The Triangle Tool: Three-Dimensional Thinking

"The Power of Three-Dimensional Thinking" section.

Most people think in pairs. Dyslexic minds think in triangles.

🤖 AI + 🧠 Dyslexia + 🎨 Your Domain = Insights nobody else can see

Select your third dimension (Education, Business, Creative Arts, Law, Medicine, Technology) or type your own.

Powerful combinations others are exploring:

▶AI + Dyslexia + Research = Non-linear discovery methods
▶AI + Dyslexia + Entrepreneurship = Innovative business solutions
▶AI + Dyslexia + Teaching = Personalized learning strategies

This builds on Newsletter 309 (The Thought Leadership Opportunity)—why neurodivergent minds are positioned to lead in AI collaboration.

This is cognitive triangulation. Where AI capabilities, dyslexic thinking patterns, and your domain expertise converge.

Experience Reading With Dyslexia (Research Tool)

"Interactive Experience: Experience Reading With Dyslexia"

A tool that lets neurotypical people experience what dyslexic reading feels like.

Letters shift, fade, bounce, and blur.

"A powerful tool to help neurotypical people understand what dyslexic thinkers experience every day. Share this with teachers, employers, family, and friends."

Share this with:

Teachers who work with dyslexic students
Employers who hire neurodivergent workers
Family members who don't quite get it
Friends who want to understand

Let them actually experience it. Sometimes empathy requires simulation.

The Socratic Learning System (The Method You Just Watched)

This is what you saw in the video with Kailer.

Now it's systematized so you can use it.

What you need:

Content your kid (or you) are learning
Transcript or summary (for video content, PBS provides these)
ChatGPT (voice mode works best)

A basic prompt structure for Socratic learning:

ROLE: You're a Socratic teacher who understands that dyslexic 
learners think associatively and spatially. You help them explore 
ideas through questions, not lectures.

CONTEXT: [Name] just watched/read [content about topic]. They're 
[age], reading at [level], and learn best through conversation 
and making connections.

COMMAND: Have a 15-20 minute conversation about this content. 
Ask open-ended questions that help them:
- Explain what they found interesting
- Make connections to things they already know
- Think through cause-and-effect
- Generate their own questions

FORMAT: Voice-to-voice conversation. Don't quiz. Don't test. 
Explore ideas together. If they get excited about one aspect, 
go deeper there.

Here's the content summary: [paste relevant information]

Time investment: 5 minutes to set up, 20 minutes for the session

Impact: Learning that matches how dyslexic brains actually process

This framework is in the prompts library. You can copy and adapt it today.

The Research Hypothesis Behind Everything

Here's something I need to be honest about:

These tools aren't just random ideas. They're built on a testable hypothesis I've been developing for two years.

The Hypothesis:

Neurodivergent minds, particularly dyslexic thinkers, may have cognitive advantages in AI collaboration that neurotypical minds don't naturally possess.

Why I believe this:

We're comfortable with cognitive partnership because we've spent our lives adapting to systems that don't match our thinking.

We think in workflows and systems because we've had to develop elaborate strategies for managing information.

We're experimental by necessity because standard approaches often fail us.

We understand cognitive translation—we've spent decades translating between how we think and how the world expects us to communicate.

We value output over process because we care about results, not following "proper" methods.

If this hypothesis is true, the implications are enormous.

It would mean dyslexic minds aren't just benefiting from AI accommodations—we're pioneering the cognitive partnership methods everyone else will need to learn.

What I did with Kailer yesterday? That's not just "nice accommodation for dyslexic kid."

That's potentially the future of how everyone learns.

And dyslexic families are figuring it out first because we had to.

The Research Frameworks Behind This

Here's something I need to be honest about: These tools aren't just random ideas. They're built on theoretical frameworks I've developed over two years.

Mathematical Models I've Developed:

Cognitive Load Reduction (CLR) Equations: Quantifying how AI partnership reduces the mental burden of tasks that drain dyslexic processing capacity.

When learners use voice instead of writing, CLR increases dramatically—more cognitive energy for actual thinking, less for fighting mechanics.

Cognitive Partner Adaptability Score (CPAS): Framework for measuring how well an AI system adapts to individual cognitive patterns.

A Socratic AI has high CPAS because it matches associative thinking styles. A traditional quiz AI has low CPAS because it demands linear responses.

The 10-80-10 Rule: My observation is that dyslexic minds excel at the 10% idea generation and 10% final polish, while AI handles the 80% middle execution that drains our energy.

You saw this in action in Kailer's learning session.

AI-Originality-Human (AOH) Scoring System: For evaluating the balance between AI assistance, original thinking, and human judgment in collaborative work.

In a successful learning session:

AI: Structures conversation, provides support
Originality: Learner's unique connections and insights
Human: Parent's judgment about when to intervene

Knowledge Value Evolution Models: How information value changes through the cognitive partnership process.

Architectural Designs:

Neurosymbolic processing frameworks for dual-system thinking
Pattern recognition engines optimized for dyslexic cognition
Adaptive learning systems that match cognitive styles
Multi-modal processing architectures

Practical Applications:

Six conversation frameworks for career partnership (Newsletter 308)
Prompt libraries for different cognitive patterns (Newsletter 310)
Workflow templates for neurodivergent minds
Assessment tools for measuring AI readiness (the survey you'll take)

Here's what I need to be clear about:

These frameworks exist. I am currently documenting them in technical whitepapers. I use them daily.

But they haven't been empirically validated through formal research.

That's the gap we need to close.

The Gap Between Theory and Proof

I have frameworks. I have mathematical models. I have two years of personal experimentation and community observation.

What I have:

✅ Frameworks that explain what I observe
✅ Mathematical models that seem to predict outcomes
✅ Two years of personal experimentation
✅ Community members reporting similar experiences
✅ Working methods (like what you watched with Kailer)

What I don't have:

❌ Peer-reviewed research validating the mathematical models
❌ Controlled studies comparing neurodivergent and neurotypical AI usage
❌ Statistical evidence proving the hypothesized advantages
❌ Academic partnerships providing research infrastructure
❌ Funding to conduct proper validation studies

This doesn't mean the frameworks are wrong.

It means they're currently theoretical constructs that need empirical validation.

You watched Kailer learn successfully. That's real.

But is it because of the frameworks I theorized? Or because of other factors I'm not measuring?

We need proper research to know.

And that validation requires resources I don't have as a solo founder funding this from personal savings.

What Validation Actually Requires

To turn these theoretical frameworks into validated technology requires:

Research Infrastructure:

Access to academic databases (PubMed, IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library)
Partnership with research institutions
Collaboration with cognitive scientists and neurodiversity researchers
Ethical review boards for human subjects research

Empirical Studies:

Controlled experiments comparing neurodivergent and neurotypical AI usage
Longitudinal studies tracking cognitive partnership development
Statistical analysis with proper sample sizes and methodologies
Peer review and publication in academic journals

User Testing:

Beta testing with 100+ dyslexic users
Quantitative metrics on task completion, cognitive load, and effectiveness
Qualitative feedback on user experience and cognitive enhancement
Iterative refinement based on real usage data

Technical Development:

Building actual tools based on the frameworks
Testing whether mathematical models predict real outcomes
Refining architectures based on performance data
Scaling systems for broader user bases

This is the work that transforms interesting theory into validated technology that can actually help people.

Why This Matters Beyond One Kid Learning

This isn't just about proving my personal observations.

If we can prove that neurodivergent minds have cognitive advantages in AI collaboration:

✓ Educational systems would reframe how they teach AI literacy, recognizing neurodivergent students as potential AI collaboration specialists rather than students requiring accommodation

✓ Workplace training would shift from one-size-fits-all AI adoption to recognizing cognitive diversity as a strategic advantage

✓ AI product development would prioritize cognitive inclusivity not as accessibility accommodation but as a design principle for better tools

✓ Neurodivergent professionals could position their cognitive adaptation experience as valuable expertise rather than challenges to overcome

✓ The entire narrative around neurodiversity would shift from deficit-based accommodation to strength-based optimization

If we can't prove it, that matters too.

Maybe the advantages I've experienced are personal rather than generalizable. Maybe they're placebo effects. Maybe they're real but smaller than I hypothesized.

Either way, we need to know.

The dyslexic community deserves evidence-based answers, not just enthusiastic theories.

The Honest Reality About Sustainability

This is the most vulnerable thing I'll say in this newsletter:

I've been funding this from personal savings while working other jobs to pay bills.

I've spent two years building:

90+ prompts
Mathematical frameworks
Custom GPTs
The entire dyslexic.ai platform
Almost 320 newsletters
Technical whitepapers

All unpaid. All self-funded.

I can't continue this indefinitely.

Not because I've lost belief in the hypothesis. But because proper validation requires resources beyond what one person can bootstrap.

This project needs to either:

Find research partnerships and funding to conduct proper validation
Generate revenue through community membership to sustain operations
Attract investment specifically for research validation (not product launch)
Or it needs to remain a documented hypothesis for someone else to pursue when they have the resources

I'm not comfortable with that last option.

This research matters too much to abandon.

But I need to be realistic about what continuing requires.

The AI Readiness Survey (Critical Research Tool)

There's a prominent section about the survey:

"Help Shape the Future of AI for Neurodivergent Thinkers"

"Share how you use AI as a cognitive partner. Your feedback helps us build better tools and contributes to our research on neurodivergent accessibility."

The survey is still open.

Why?

Because this isn't just October research. This is ongoing data collection to validate the frameworks.

Every response helps us understand:

Whether the 10-80-10 Rule holds across different dyslexic profiles
If CPAS scores correlate with reported effectiveness
Which prompts work for which cognitive patterns
What the actual advantages (or limitations) are

We need 500+ responses to establish baseline data.

Currently we have hundreds. We need more.

The survey is live at dyslexic.ai

Your participation isn't just helpful—it's critical research data.

What "Vibe Coding" Actually Means

People ask: "How did you build this without being a programmer?"

I learned to talk to AI about what I wanted. Then I iterated until it worked.

The Process:

Describe in plain language
AI generates code
Test with my dyslexic brain
Describe what's wrong
AI refines
Repeat until it works

This is how I built:

The 90+ prompts library with search and filters
The interactive demo with role-specific tabs
The Triangle Tool
The dyslexia reading experience simulator
The entire platform

All through natural language.

This is democratized development.

And it's what I teach in the community.

What I'm Asking From You

This is the first time I've explicitly asked for help. Here's what we need:

Immediate Needs (Next 3 Months):

1. Survey Participation We need 500+ responses to establish baseline data on how different cognitive patterns approach AI collaboration.

Take the 8-minute survey at dyslexic.ai

2. Beta Testers 50-100 dyslexic users willing to test specific tools and workflows (like the Socratic learning method), providing detailed feedback.

3. Use the Tools Actually try the prompts. Use the Triangle Tool. Try the Socratic approach with your kids or yourself. Give honest feedback about what works and what doesn't.

4. Join the Community Pro or Founders Club membership directly funds continued development and research.

5. Share Your Experience Tell me what's working. What's confusing. What should be prioritized.

Medium-Term Needs (6-12 Months):

6. Research Connections Introductions to cognitive scientists, neurodiversity researchers, or academic institutions interested in this hypothesis.

7. Technical Partnerships Developers or AI researchers interested in building validation tools and testing frameworks.

8. Pilot Customers Organizations willing to test cognitive-inclusive AI training programs with their neurodivergent employees.

9. Research Funding Support for conducting controlled studies, accessing academic databases, and hiring research assistance.

Long-Term Vision (1-3 Years):

10. Validated Technology Tools and platforms built on proven frameworks rather than theoretical models.

11. Research Publication Peer-reviewed papers documenting findings and establishing evidence base.

12. Sustainable Business Model Revenue supporting ongoing research, development, and community building.

13. Thought Leadership Recognition of neurodivergent cognitive partnership advantages in AI industry.

What Success Looks Like in 12 Months

If this works, in 12 months I want to share:

✓ Peer-reviewed research confirming (or refuting) the neurodivergent AI advantage hypothesis

✓ Beta test results from 100+ users showing quantified outcomes, not just theoretical models

✓ Academic partnerships conducting controlled studies with proper methodologies

✓ Sustainable funding supporting ongoing research and development

✓ Tools and platforms built on validated frameworks rather than theory

✓ A community of neurodivergent professionals recognized as AI collaboration specialists

✓ Hundreds of families using Socratic learning methods successfully

That's the vision.

But it requires moving from solo founder bootstrapping to collaborative research with proper support.

The Question I'm Asking Myself

Can I afford to keep doing this without proper funding and partnerships?

No.

Can I afford to stop when we're this close to potentially validating something important?

Also no.

So I'm asking for help.

Not because I've run out of ideas or energy.

But because proper validation requires resources and expertise beyond what one person can provide.

The hypothesis is too important to remain unfunded theory.

The potential impact is too significant to abandon because one founder ran out of money.

And honestly? Watching Kailer learn yesterday reminded me:

This isn't just about research validation. It's about dyslexic kids getting to learn the way their brains actually work.

Right now. Today.

Not someday when schools catch up.

Have a Great Weekend—And Thank You

This is the most vulnerable newsletter I've written.

Admitting I can't continue alone.

That I need help.

That we're at theory stage rather than validated technology.

None of that is comfortable to share.

But the dyslexic community deserves honesty.

You deserve to know:

What we've actually built (working tools you can use today)
What still needs proving (the research frameworks)
What it takes to continue (resources and partnerships)

I believe in this hypothesis.

I believe in the frameworks we've developed.

I believe dyslexic minds have cognitive advantages that could reshape how we understand human-AI collaboration.

But belief isn't evidence.

And this community deserves evidence-based answers.

If you've gotten value from these newsletters, from the frameworks I've shared, from watching Kailer learn with his cognitive partner—

Consider helping turn theory into validated research.

Visit the site. Use the tools. Take the survey. Join the community. Make an introduction. Reply with ideas.

This could be the research that changes everything about how we understand neurodivergent minds and AI collaboration.

But it needs to be actual research. Not just one dyslexic founder's compelling theory.

Thank you for almost 320 newsletters of support, feedback, and engagement.

Let's see what we can build together with proper resources and collaboration.
