From the person who built this — and what you should know
An AI math checker that reads problems from photos or text input. You snap a picture of a math problem (or type it in), and it solves it step by step to verify whether the answer is correct. Think of it as a calculator that shows its work.
No. It's great for arithmetic, algebra, and basic calculus. Gets shakier with advanced, abstract, or ambiguous math. If you write a messy equation and the AI misreads a symbol, it'll confidently solve the wrong problem. The step-by-step output helps you catch these cases — always read the steps, not just the verdict.
Only if used wrong. The best use case: solve the problem yourself first, then check with MathOrNOT. That's the same thing a good teacher does — let you try, then tell you if you got it right. The worst use case: pointing the camera at homework and copying down answers without understanding them. That's cheating, and it'll catch up with you on the test. We built this to be a mirror, not a crutch.
No server costs. You bring your own Groq API key (also free), and all the processing happens directly between your browser and Groq's servers. We're just a static webpage on Cloudflare's CDN. No server means no hosting bills means no reason to charge you.
No. Use it to study and practice. Not as an answer sheet. Most schools and testing centers explicitly prohibit AI tools during exams. And beyond the rules — if you can't do the math without MathOrNOT, you haven't actually learned it. Use this tool to build confidence, not to fake it.
