Meet MathGPT: a Chatbot Tutor Built Specific to a Math Textbook — from thejournal.com by Kristal Kuykendall
Excerpt:
Micro-tutoring platform PhotoStudy has unveiled a new chatbot built on OpenAI’s ChatGPT APIs that can teach a complete elementary algebra textbook with “extremely high accuracy,” the company said.
“Textbook publishers and teachers can now transform their textbooks and teaching with a ChatGPT-like assistant that can teach all the material in a textbook, assess student progress, provide personalized help in weaker areas, generate quizzes with support for text, images, audio, and ultimately a student customized avatar for video interaction,” PhotoStudy said in its news release.
Some sample questions the MathGPT tool can answer:
-
- “I don’t know how to solve a linear equation…”
- “I have no idea what’s going on in class but we are doing Chapter 2. Can we start at the top?”
- “Can you help me understand how to solve this mixture of coins problem?”
- “I need to practice for my midterm tomorrow, through Chapter 6. Help.”
