TutorUp

TutorUp is a Chrome extension and mobile app that acts as an AI-powered homework assistant. You use it to scan questions from any webpage—like practice problem sites or digital textbooks—and it provides the answer. The core function is simple: point it at a question, and it uses optical character recognition (OCR) and a fine-tuned AI model to read the text and generate a response. It's designed to work directly in your browser, making it a tool for quick help while you're studying online.

What makes TutorUp stand out is its focus on explanations, not just answers. The AI is built to give detailed reasoning, especially for complex subjects like algebra, geometry, and differential equations, where it shows the steps to reach the solution. Premium features include scanning an entire page full of questions at once and a 'stealth mode' that hides the scanning process, which some users might prefer for a less intrusive experience. It offers a free tier with three scans, followed by monthly or yearly subscription plans.

This tool is for students who need immediate help understanding homework problems. A college student stuck on a calculus problem could scan it and get a guided solution. A high schooler reviewing history questions online could use it to check their answers and learn more context. It's a digital study buddy for moments when a human tutor isn't available, helping to clarify concepts and save time during study sessions.
