Talk to Stoa

Talk with great minds of the past

Visit

Stoa lets you talk with the great minds of antiquity in their own voice. Ask Aristotle, Seneca or Marcus Aurelius a real question and get an answer drawn only from their own writings and the testimonies of the people who knew them, in their own register, inside their own lifetime. No invented quotes: every persona is built from public-domain primary sources, with the bibliography published. First question free, no account needed.

Features

Eleven minds so far, from the Stoics to Confucius, Lao Tzu, Sun Tzu, Cicero and Lucretius, with more added regularly. Browser chat with a choice of models and pay-as-you-go credits. Every philosopher also available as a downloadable skill that installs into your own ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini in about a minute: one purchase, yours to keep. Commissioned personas built to order from any public-domain figure. Stoic answers to everyday problems, a Wisdom library by philosopher and topic, and an iPhone app on the way.

Use Cases

Students and teachers who want to question a primary source directly instead of a summary. Readers of Stoicism looking for a daily practice partner in Marcus Aurelius, Seneca or Epictetus. Historians, researchers and writers who need a source-faithful figure to argue with. Schools and institutions that want a philosopher built around their own curriculum. And anyone facing a real problem, anxiety, anger, grief, a setback, who would rather ask a Stoic than a generic chatbot.

Hi, I'm Pietro, the founder of Stoa. It started with one book. I read Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, filled a notebook with questions, and realised I wanted to ask him, not a commentator. So I built Aristoteles from his complete works and the ancient biographies. Then people asked for Marcus Aurelius, then Seneca, then Sokrates. Stoa is that project grown up. Every mind answers only from their own writings and the testimonies of the people who knew them, in their own register, inside their own lifetime. No invented quotes; the bibliography is published with each persona. Eleven minds so far, from the Stoics to Confucius and Sun Tzu. Three ways in: Chat in the browser. Your first question is free, no account needed. Own a mind as a skill: the complete persona installs into your own ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini in about a minute. One purchase, yours to keep. Commission a figure built around your curriculum, for a classroom or an institution. I'd love to know which thinker you'd want next, and what you'd ask them first. Happy to answer anything about how the personas are built.
