An AI tutor focused on reasoning, not just answer

Hacker News

I noticed many teachers are banning AI because it acts like a "calculator for thinking"—students just copy the answers. I built AI Homework Helper to flip this. Instead of giving the final result, it acts as a mentor that breaks down problems step-by-step and explains the underlying principles. The goal is to make AI an auxiliary for deep study, not a shortcut for homework. I’d love to hear your feedback on how to make AI-assisted learning more pedagogical.
