Math solver apps such as MathMaster have been around for a while, and from my experience, they work surprisingly well. But what if there was an app that could solve more than just math equations? What if there was something that could answer virtually any question?
Gauth is an AI study app designed to not only answer any type of math problem, but also questions related to History, Biology, Physics, Economics, Chemistry, Literature, and more.
The app also offers a comprehensive suite of learning tools, including Reading, Writing, Focus Mode, and a Calculator.
What’s particularly interesting to me about this app in terms of disability related utility is that someone who struggles with print-based disabilities could take a picture of a question or problem from a textbook, then have the answer digitally copied and read aloud.
And when it comes to math, you’re not only given the answer to the problem, but you’re also provided with a detailed, step by step breakdown of how the app arrived at that solution.
To text the efficacy of the app, I wrote “When was Genghis Khan’s rein?”, selected History, then took a picture of what I wrote. Within seconds, it came back with the answer and even provided a little extra context. If I wanted to, I could have asked a follow-up question to dive further into the subject, which is another reason why these chatbot-powered homework solvers are so great. You don’t just get the answer, you get the ability to engage even further on the subject.
I was impressed with Gauth’s ability to answer that question, but I wanted to ramp up the difficulty a bit and try and stump the app. So, I selected the Biology solver, went to my photo gallery, and selected a picture of myself holding a fish. Then, in the chat window, I asked, “what species of fish is this?”
Despite the relatively poor quality of the photo, Gauth instantly came back with the correct answer. The app even told me what physical characteristics to look for in order to correctly identify the species!
So, even though the app is being marketed as a homework solver, it actually has a ton of potential for biologists working in the field, hunters, outdoorspeople, and pretty much anyone that has a question about their surroundings.
Gauth is available on PC, iOS, or Android for free with limited access, with an unlimited version of the app being available for about $18 CDN per month. Click here (new window) to learn more.
