As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to be more widely used in educational settings, MathGPT.ai has emerged as a platform designed to serve as an “anti-cheating” tutor for college students and a teaching assistant for professors. The platform has gained traction following a successful pilot program at 30 colleges and universities in the U.S., with plans to expand its availability to hundreds of instructors this fall. Institutions like Penn State University, Tufts University, and Liberty University have already integrated MathGPT.ai into their classrooms.
## AI Chatbot and Instructor Support
One of the standout features of MathGPT.ai is its AI chatbot, which is programmed to engage students with Socratic questioning rather than providing direct answers. This approach aims to promote critical thinking skills among students. In addition to supporting students in college-level math courses, the platform also serves as a teaching assistant for instructors, generating questions, providing auto-grading capabilities, and offering additional AI features based on uploaded textbooks and learning materials.
## Enhanced Features for Instructors
MathGPT.ai recently launched an upgraded version of its platform, focusing on giving professors more control over how students utilize the tools. Instructors can now regulate when students interact with the chatbot, specify tutoring support for assignments, set the number of attempts for answering questions, and enable unlimited practice questions without affecting grades. The platform also allows students to upload images of their work for review by professors, ensuring academic integrity.
## Accessibility and Compliance
To enhance accessibility, MathGPT.ai has integrated with major Learning Management Systems (LMS), introduced screen reader compatibility and an audio mode, and added closed captions for its video lessons. The platform is also ADA-compliant and prioritizes safety by maintaining strict boundaries to prevent inappropriate interactions. Users are encouraged to report any inaccuracies in the chatbot’s responses, with the company offering rewards for identifying mistakes.
With plans to expand to other subjects and develop a mobile app in the future, MathGPT.ai offers both free and paid options for users. The paid option includes benefits such as unlimited AI assignments and integration with LMS. As the platform evolves, its commitment to accuracy, user feedback, and continuous improvement remains central to its mission in supporting student learning and instructor facilitation in educational settings.
