AI in Classrooms: A New Approach
As AI becomes more common in classrooms—where students often rely on it for assignments and teachers remain unsure how to respond—MathGPT.ai launched last year with a unique mission. Instead of enabling shortcuts, the platform positions itself as a cheat-proof AI teaching assistant for professors and a supportive tutor for students.
Rapid Growth Across Universities
After a successful pilot at 30 U.S. colleges and universities, MathGPT.ai is preparing to nearly double its reach this fall. Institutions such as Penn State University, Tufts University, and Liberty University have already adopted the platform, with hundreds of instructors set to integrate it into their teaching.
A Tutor That Teaches Critical Thinking
Unlike traditional AI chatbots, MathGPT.ai is designed not to hand out answers. Instead, it applies Socratic questioning, guiding students to think critically and solve problems independently—mirroring the approach of a human tutor.
Teaching Assistant for Professors
For educators, MathGPT.ai functions as a powerful AI teaching assistant. It can generate questions and assignments from uploaded textbooks, offer auto-grading, and provide advanced AI-driven support. The platform currently covers core college-level math, including Algebra, Calculus, and Trigonometry.

New Instructor-Centric Features
The latest platform update puts even more control in professors’ hands:
- Custom AI controls – Instructors decide when students can use the chatbot.
- Question attempt limits – Teachers can set how many tries a student gets.
- Unlimited practice mode – Students can test knowledge without grade pressure.
- Authenticity checks – Optional feature for students to upload written work.
Accessibility and Integration
MathGPT.ai now integrates with the three largest Learning Management Systems (Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace), while also supporting screen readers, audio mode, and closed captions. Its narrated video lessons—voiced in styles like Benjamin Franklin or Albert Einstein—add a unique learning twist.
Safety and Reliability
Unlike free-flowing chatbots such as ChatGPT or Character.AI, MathGPT.ai sets strict boundaries to ensure safe academic use. Conversations remain focused only on education, avoiding irrelevant or inappropriate topics.
Accuracy is also a priority. Any mistakes can be reported by users, with rewards offered for catching errors. With human annotators verifying every resource, the company says its chatbot has drastically reduced “hallucinations” year after year.
Future Plans
Looking ahead, MathGPT.ai intends to expand beyond math into subjects like chemistry, economics, and accounting, while also preparing to launch a mobile app. The platform offers both a free tier and a $25 per student per course plan, with premium features like unlimited assignments and LMS integrations.
