Yes! Completely agree with your second point.
Users shouldn't have to think and type a query only to find out the "Create Draft" takes you to a Google login page. Poor UX design choice.

1) I will take note of that. I wasn't sure how common the term was because I never heard of it, but I'm realizing it's actually a lot more common than I thought
2) I absolutely agree with you; I should've given more thought on that. In short-term, I will just redirect users to login-page right away. In long-term, I'm planning on making a 'guest-mode' so users can try it out before having to sign-in
But your site gives me a bad vibe:
1) I feel like the term, "Socratic method" is fairly well understood. Am I wrong? Because trying to rephrase it feels like you are dumbing down your marketing for an audience that... well, isn't me. Which is fine if I'm an outlier. I just thought it was a common term.
2) Either let people try it, or make them create an account. Having a page that looks like it is going to let you try it, lets you enter a subject, and then prompts you to login feels worse than just forcing a login right away. (Which is also a problem, but at least doesn't feel like you are trying to trick us.)
