If you look at stack overflow you'll see that many answers have a bit of back and forth before the answers are found to elucidate the problem or scope. I think the chat format would be great (and sets you apart) as long as you had some kind of soft rule that to accept an answer someone has to write a summary too.

The parent is right, your value is in the questions already answered, and this would also avoid mentors getting bored of the same question.

Another potential thing to set you apart is to somehow find a better moderation system than SO.
