What is Gauth?

Gauth is a homework-help app, developed by the team behind Gauthmath, that reads a photo of a maths, physics, chemistry or biology question and returns a worked solution. Answers come from a combination of automated solvers and human tutors, and the app has expanded into essay and writing help alongside subject questions. Multiple subjects and languages are supported, and the interface is built around scanning rather than typing. Its distinctive element is the tutoring layer: alongside the generated answer you can reach a live helper. Quality varies noticeably between subjects.

FAQ

Are the answers reliable?

Not always. Automated solvers struggle with word problems, ambiguous notation and multi-step reasoning, and tutor answers vary in quality too. Use the worked steps to learn the method, and cross-check the result against your textbook or teacher.

Which subjects are covered best?

Maths has the deepest coverage because it suits automated solving. Physics and chemistry are solid for standard problems, while biology and essay subjects lean more on human tutors and tend to be less consistent.

Can my school tell that I used it?

The app leaves no mark on your paper, but that is not the point. Most schools treat photo-solving a live assignment as academic dishonesty regardless of detection, so check the rules before using it on graded work.
