Learning math with ChatGPT as tutor: paper solving plus a scanning camera
generativist · x · 2026-10-10
Developer noahlt shares a DIY workflow for learning math with ChatGPT (Astra) as a tutor: a document scanning camera captures handwritten problem-solving, and a small vibecoded tool pastes the captured image straight into the chat.
The result: he works through problems on paper as usual while ChatGPT gives per-problem feedback — a near-zero-cost combo of off-the-shelf hardware, a bit of code, and multimodal capabilities that replicates a tutoring experience.
