24 alternatives to Physics AI

I built PhysicsAI.chat to help students get step-by-step reasoning (not only final answers). It supports photo problems and tries to show clear derivations + units checks. I’d love feedback on: (1) explanation clarity, (2) wrong-answer failure modes, (3) what would make you trust it more.

    Hi everyone! I’m the founder of Explanations (https://explanations.app). I’m building a website where students can get college level math & physics help for 1/10th the cost of private tutoring. You’d type a question, and your teacher replies by drawing a Youtube/KhanAcademy-style video; and this happens asynchronously throughout the week. When I was studying at MIT, I often had to wait 40-60 minutes in line just to get 5 minutes of “help” from a TA - when I needed 1-2 hours. I understood that TAs can’t spend all their time helping me. That’s understandable. But what made…

    This is another one of my automate-my-life projects - I'm constantly asking the same question to different AIs since there's always the hope of getting a better answer somewhere else. Maybe ChatGPT's answer is too short, so I ask Perplexity. But I realize that's hallucinated, so I try Gemini. That answer sounds right, but I cross-reference with Claude just to make sure. This doesn't really apply to math/coding (where o1 or Gemini can probably one-shot an excellent response), but more to online search, where information is more fluid and there's no "right" search engine + text…

    Hi HN, I’m an indie developer building Chemistry AI – a web-based chemistry solver for high-school and college students. Motivation: I saw many students searching for “chemistry AI” and mostly getting generic chatbots or math tools. I wanted something focused on chemistry that actually explains the steps, not just the final answer. What it does: - You can type a question or upload a photo of a worksheet. - The AI reads the problem and shows transparent, step-by-step reasoning. - It covers topics like equations, stoichiometry, acids/bases, equilibrium, thermodynamics, and basic organic…

    Hey HN, I’m a dev and a dad to a 10-year-old. I built this because I caught my daughter using ChatGPT to do her history homework. She wasn't learning; she was just acting as a "middleware" between the AI and the paper. The Backstory: I realized the problem isn't the AI—it's the zero-friction answers. Most "AI for kids" apps are just "parrots"—they mimic intelligence by repeating patterns. What’s Different: Qurio is a "Bicycle" for the mind. It treats the child like a future "Architect" rather than a "Junior Executor." Technically, it wraps an LLM in a strict "Socratic Loop." It detects…

    HN, first things first: one year ago you make me believe in my opensource AI project, and I'm forever grateful[1]. I am back with Beam - a technique to use diverse LLMs to generate responses, and Merge them - all within a snappy UX. I am no researcher, so you'll find a dark-mode blog, and not a light-mode PDF on arxiv :) Blog, open code, and live hosted demo, all published. You can use Beam early on in a chat, where looking at more options is key to be more confident in the answer, but also when no answer if perfect, but fusing many together will work well. Take a look and let me know what…
