Your Socratic AI tutor
Figure it out
and it's yours
Snap one you missed or got stuck on. No answers handed over — just questions until you work it out.
AI Whiteboard · Q&A
Why does negative times negative make positive? Why should (−1)×(−2) equal 2?
Don't rush to memorize the rule. Look at this sequence first: 3×(−2), 2×(−2), 1×(−2), 0×(−2) — what do they equal, one by one?
−6, −4, −2, 0… hey, it goes up by 2 each time.
Right. Follow that pattern one more step: what should (−1)×(−2) be?
0 plus 2… it's 2! So it isn't an arbitrary rule — the pattern grows out on its own.
Whiteboard Q&A defaults to Socratic guidance.
Why Socrates
Ten explanations can't beat figuring it out once yourself
Answers poured into you drain away; conclusions you derive take root.
Traditional lecturing
- —You watch the teacher solve it — it all seems clear in the moment
- —But maybe you only memorized this problem's answer and method
- —Change a number two weeks later, and it's gone
Socratic questioning
- Question by question, every step forward is your own
- You derive the conclusion with your own hands
- The moment it clicks is still there a month later
"A good teacher doesn't hand you answers —
they stay beside you while you think."
Why the feedback loop
Grading is only the start; the loop is where you grow
Knowing "it's wrong" isn't enough: Gigle walks each mistake through the feedback loop and builds a positive flywheel.

01Snap a photo, sorted out
Messy page, scribbles and all —
it still tells the problem from your work.
Crooked, messy photo? The problem goes to the whiteboard; your work is kept apart.
In △ABC, AB = AC and D is on BC. If BD = DC, prove AD ⊥ BC.
Whiteboard problem
In △ABC, AB = AC and D is on BC. If BD = DC, prove AD ⊥ BC.
Your solution
- Proof: in △ABD and △ACD,
- AB = AC, BD = DC, AD = AD
- so △ABD ≅ △ACD (SSS)
- so ∠ADB = ∠ADC = 90°, i.e. AD ⊥ BC
02A wrong-book that builds itself
Not just collecting mistakes,
but understanding every one of them
Which step went wrong, why, and how to avoid it: Gigle analyzes it for you automatically.
Sam reads 1/3 of a book on day one and 1/4 on day two. What fraction is still unread?
1 − (1/3 + 1/4 = 2/7) = 5/7
- ①Wrong step
- Step 1: 1/3 + 1/4 became 2/7 — tops added, bottoms added
- ②Why
- Added fractions with different denominators without a common denominator
- ③Weak point recorded
- Adding unlike fractions
Fraction word problemsLogs the concept of the step that went wrong — not the problem's tag - ④How to avoid it
- Remember: different denominators — find a common one first
⑤ Then the summary · your wrong-book
03Finding the real root cause
Stuck on primes?
The cause may be two steps back.

04Explanations that move
When words aren't enough,
let it move.
For shapes and change, Gigle hands you a graph to drag — and the rule shows itself.
Quadratic y = a(x − h)² + k: drag a, h and k
Interactive grapha sets the direction and width, h slides it left and right, k up and down; at a = 0 it becomes a flat line.
05Memory cards
Right before you forget,
see it once more.
English and Chinese mistakes become cards, reviewed less often each time until they stick.
It is ____ to drink enough water every day.
Meaning: needed; essential
Say or write the answer first, then flip the card.
necessary/ˈnesəseri/
needed; essential
Tap the card to flip it

FAQ
Questions you might have about Gigle Tutor
What is Gigle Tutor?
A Socratic AI tutor: snap a photo of a problem you got wrong. Instead of handing you the answer, it asks step-by-step questions that guide you to figure it out yourself, then files the mistake into your Wrong Book and daily practice.
How is it different from photo-search answer apps?
Answer apps give you the answer. Gigle first asks where you got stuck, guides you to reach the conclusion yourself, remembers your weak spots, and builds practice around them. See how it checks your own working step by step: How Gigle checks your math work →
Which subjects does it cover?
Mainly math and science: write your solution by hand on the whiteboard, and the AI grades it and points to the step that went wrong. The Wrong Book also takes English and Chinese-language mistakes.
Do I need to download an app? Does it work on iPad?
No download needed — just open tutor.gigle.ai in your browser. It works on computers, iPads and phones, and on iPad you can write by hand.
Is it free?
Signing up is free. AI features use credits — you earn them by finishing onboarding tasks and inviting friends, or you can buy a credit pack.
Which languages does it support?
English, 中文, 日本語 and 한국어 — both the interface and the AI explanations follow the language you choose.
Can I export my mistakes to review on my own?
Yes. Click once under Settings → Data export to download all your mistakes as a CSV spreadsheet that opens in Excel and similar apps. It includes the problems, choices, answers, how many times you got each one wrong, related knowledge points, and the error analysis from every attempt. Your mistakes belong to you — take them anywhere, print them for review, or show them to your teacher.
