Math-first homework helper that also runs PhysicsGPT, ChemGPT and AccountingGPT off the same input box.
- Step-by-step math problem solving from typed or photographed input
- Switchable PhysicsGPT, ChemGPT and AccountingGPT modes
- Lecture summarizer and video gallery
Four subjects covered from one shared interface
Easy to misuse as an answer shortcut rather than a study aid
