Post Description
I'm building the AI tutor that I wish I had when I was a kid. It's capable of following your thought process through the MacOS webcam as you do rough work and propose meaningful hints. You can download it on the Mac App Store for free, and use the free version without signing up for a free trial of a paid version.
Open sourced - note, readme's are out of date.

Premeth – Ensuring that premed student always stay premeth
The site leans hard on scale — 400k+ questions and 2,500+ papers are the headline. The landing is confident and playful ("Start Cooking" — nice), but there’s no visible proof of content quality, answer explanations, adaptive drills, or source attribution; that gap decides whether this is a useful free alternative or just a huge spreadsheet of problems. If they add provenance, tagging and study analytics, this could move from handy to indispensable for MCAT prep.
