I've created "AlbertBro," an AI math tutor chatbot for kids aged 10 to 16. It helps with math homework by solving problems from photos. Available as a Progressive Web App at https://photo2math.com?hn=1

Mobile users can snap a math problem pic, desktop offers drag-drop, paste & file upload. Crop pics for accuracy, AI converts to LaTeX for analysis. The rest is math GPT with a system prompt

1) can it recognize handwriting? 2) can it identify where a child made a mistake when ‘showing their work’ aka error analysis? A tool that guides a kid to their mistakes would probably be more useful than on that solves a problem on their behalf.

1) Yes. Handwriting is one of the option to input an image, there's an image to latex conversion happening under the hood

2) It should but it doesn't seem to be consistent and it often just solves the exercise step by step. I'll try to tweak the system prompt to enforce a step by step feedback loop style
