What it is

ai-tutor is a work-in-progress multimodal math tutor. The README describes it as a desktop app: an interactive drawing board for mathematical expressions, an AI assistant for real-time help, and feedback intended for learning rather than just answers.

Why it matters

I learn math with a pen, not only a keyboard. A tutor that cannot see a sketch is stuck asking you to type LaTeX at it. This project is my attempt to close that loop in software I control.

How it works

Electron plus React for the UI, Python FastAPI on the backend. The drawing surface uses Fabric.js. The README also lists ONNX among the stack notes, which matches how I think about keeping inference close to the machine — this page does not claim a specific shipped local model.

Status

WIP, public at antmikinka/ai-tutor. The GitHub description is the same one-liner I have used on this site for a while: an AI math tutor that helps you learn in real time.
