Frequently asked questions
What is Sophia?
Sophia is a French mobile app about general knowledge. It offers short lessons you can read in a few minutes, followed by quizzes that check what you kept.
The app is published by Vik Studios SAS, a French company. It is available free of charge on iOS and on Android.
The catalogue holds over 240 lessons across six subjects: history, mythology, art, literature, science, and understanding today's world.
Each lesson is read in five screens. A quiz follows, and daily practice brings back what you have already seen so that it does not fade.
Sophia is for everyone, with no required level and no jargon. It is built to be opened for a few minutes a day, on the way to work or between two things.
Sophia: General Knowledge is a mobile learning app. It has no connection with the Sophia humanoid robot, with Sophia University in Tokyo, or with the sophia health programme run by France's Assurance Maladie.
