Visually Precise AI Tutoring on iOS

In plain words

Knowable is an AI tutoring app for iOS and Mac that helps students learn by pointing their device camera at textbooks or worksheets. The app's AI tutor, Milo, guides students through problems in real time across all subjects without simply providing answers. Using device cameras, Knowable tracks what students are working on and creates personalized lessons with explanations, worked examples, and exercises matched to each student's level. It monitors study habits and performance by topic to provide targeted support.

From the sources

Knowable is an AI tutor app for students. Point your iPhone, iPad, or Mac camera at any textbook or worksheet and Milo coaches you through every subject in real time, without just handing over the answer.

Using specialized hardware available on recent MacBooks or iPhones, we’re able to see what’s on your page as you do the work. Yeah, other AI platforms exist. But nobody else offers you the ability to just write without needing to constantly remind the chatbot about what you’re working on. Milo writes personalized lessons from your own practice — explanation, worked examples, and exercises pitched at your level. You slipped on the sign of c in last week’s drills — remember: x² + bx + c factors into two numbers that multiply to c and add to b. Study habits, competence by topic, and every problem practiced — shareable with a parent or teacher. Every reply is a guiding question — you reach the…from useknowable.ai

In the maker’s words, at launch

I've always felt that AI tutoring as we see it now is going in the wrong direction. I made Knowable as a way to see if it's possible to have a real AI tutor. Because of hardware limitations it can only be used on Macbooks 2023+. Let me know your thoughts!

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
