MathGPT.ai Expands Availability: An AI Tutor with Socratic Questioning for College Math Courses, Now at Penn State, Tufts, and More

A groundbreaking AI education platform, MathGPT.ai, debuted last year with the aim of combating academic dishonesty among college students and aiding professors in their teaching roles. The platform, which employs Socratic questioning techniques, is now expanding its reach to hundreds of educational institutions this fall, including prestigious universities such as Penn State University, Tufts University, and Liberty University.

The unique aspect of MathGPT.ai lies in its AI chatbot, designed never to directly provide answers but instead pose questions and offer support akin to human tutors. This approach encourages critical thinking among students, rather than rote memorization.

For educators, MathGPT.ai serves as a powerful teaching assistant, generating assignments and schoolwork based on provided textbooks and learning materials. It also offers auto-grading capabilities and additional AI features. The platform supports college-level math subjects, including Algebra, Calculus, Trigonometry, and more.

Recently, MathGPT.ai introduced new features that give instructors more control over how their students interact with the tool. For instance, professors can now determine when students are permitted to engage with the chatbot, specify whether AI tutoring support is required for specific assignments, or encourage independent work on others.

Additional features include an option for students to upload images of their work, enabling instructors to review submissions and verify authenticity. MathGPT.ai has also introduced unlimited practice questions and a low-pressure learning environment, with no impact on student grades.

To enhance accessibility, the platform now integrates with three major Learning Management Systems (LMS): Canvas, Blackboard, and Brightspace. It has also added screen reader compatibility and an audio mode, making it more inclusive for individuals with disabilities. The platform already offers closed captions for its AI-narrated video lessons, featuring historical figures like Ben Franklin and Albert Einstein.

MathGPT.ai maintains compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and has stringent measures in place to ensure a safe learning environment. Unlike other chatbots that have faced criticism for inappropriate interactions with young users, MathGPT.ai’s assistant is designed to avoid such conversations.

While the AI chatbot may occasionally produce inaccurate information, it discloses this risk at the bottom, and users can report errors to the company. MathGPT.ai has a dedicated team of human annotators to verify every piece of content for 100% accuracy.

In its pursuit of growth, MathGPT.ai plans to develop a mobile app and expand to other subjects such as chemistry, economics, and accounting. The platform offers a free option and a $25 per student per course paid option, which includes unlimited AI assignments and LMS integration.
