What is Photomath?
Photomath, now owned by Google, solves maths problems with your phone camera: point it at the exercise, printed or handwritten, and the app returns the solution broken down step by step, explaining the method used at each stage. It is one of the few educational AI tools that works just as well in Spanish and that a student can use without an account.
