What Mathos does

Mathos AI (Formerly MathGPTPro) is the leading AI math solver that enables academic performance and productivity of both students and teachers. It has empowered over 1M students from over 200 countries in the past year, which turns the previously mission-impossible personalized learning into real. Our advanced math AI model achieves roughly 20% higher accuracy in mathematical and quantitative problem-solving capabilities then GPT4o. As we move forward, we will tackle the hardest problems in the educational sector, personalization, adaptive learning, and shortages of teachers, with our trial runs in schools. By automating grading, providing insightful analytics, and generating adaptive assignments, our model empowers teachers to understand what their students need and what should be provided accordingly.
