Socratic by Google

A free mobile app from Google that helps students get explanations and hints for homework questions without just giving them the answer directly. Students take a photo of a problem or type a question, and the app identifies the subject and provides step-by-step guides, video explanations, and concept summaries to help them understand the material. Socratic draws on content from Khan Academy, Crash Course, and other educational resources, as well as Google's own AI, to surface the most relevant explanation for each specific question. It covers math including geometry and calculus, science including biology, chemistry, and physics, history, and literature analysis. The AI explains the concepts needed to approach the problem rather than solving it for the student. Free to use with no subscription. Available on iOS and Android. Popular with middle and high school students doing independent study.
