Auditing your problem set against the solvers
Run your own homework through the tools students use, find what survives, and rebuild the assessment around the problems that do.
Mathematics (MATH)
The solvers already win. Photomath handles the standard developmental, algebra and precalculus set free from a photo; Symbolab reaches into multivariable and linear algebra. This is a curriculum design problem, not an enforcement problem, and the assignments that survive are better assessments than the ones that did not.
Workflows
How people actually chain these tools together to get something done.
The AI runs the test, the student defends the assumptions
Require the model to do the computation so the entire grade can sit on the assumption audit, the design critique, and the interpretation in context.
A quantity takeoff you can defend line by line
Getting quantities off a drawing set fast is the point. Being able to show where every number came from is what keeps the bid from becoming a loss.

Julius AI
Conversational data analysis that runs Python on uploaded spreadsheets and returns charts and statistics.
Why here: Real computation with visible code, which makes the analytic choices auditable.
Khanmigo
Khan Academy's Socratic tutor that guides students toward answers rather than supplying them.
Why here: Developmental and co-requisite only — the content ceiling is precalculus.
Photomath
Phone-camera math solver that reads handwritten or printed problems and returns step-by-step solutions.
Why here: The single most important entry here for assessment design, not for adoption.
Symbolab
AI math solver with step-by-step work, practice generation and a chat tutor.
Why here: Wider course reach than the photo solvers — it covers multivariable and linear algebra.
Wolfram|Alpha Pro and Wolfram AI Assistant
Computational engine with step-by-step solutions, plus a notebook AI assistant that generates verified code.
Why here: Symbolically correct rather than plausible — a different and safer failure mode than LLM solvers.
