SymPy Gamma (https://gamma.sympy.org/input/?i=integrate+x%5E2) sort of fits as an alternative, though it's not very good at parsing general questions/expressions.

Woah! That is very cool indeed. Time to start using SymPy Gamma instead of Wolfram|Alpha. Surprising that their GitHub repo has so few stars. Only 400 stars at the time of this writing. I mean, 400 stars is respectable of course, but seeing how cool this is I think they ought to have a lot more stars.

It even renders equations and graphs not as pixelated bitmaps! I should do this more often to avoid squinting while WolframAlpha-ing.

Just wanted to give a star but I saw the Google-junk and will wait until I know how you need to use Google stuff to use it because I've never read enough about GAE.
