Gauth (formerly Gauthmath) is an AI-powered homework assistant backed by ByteDance. Students snap a photo of any math or science problem and receive a step-by-step solution in seconds, from arithmetic and algebra through calculus, statistics, and linear algebra. It also covers physics, chemistry, and biology. Beyond the photo solver, Gauth has a library of over 100 million verified expert solutions and a text-based AI tutor for follow-up questions. The app is designed for speed: the camera recognition and solution generation are optimized for under five seconds on most standard problem types. Gauth has grown rapidly in international markets and among high school and early college students looking for a fast, free-tier alternative to Photomath and Chegg for complex STEM problem sets.
