How it works

You type a maths question. An AI writes the answer as numbered steps, and finishes by saying which parts of its own argument it was unsure about. The site shows you that list first, before the working, so you know where to look hardest.

Why that matters

AI is good at sounding certain. A wrong step reads exactly like a right one, which is why people either trust these answers too much or not at all. Making the AI point at its own weak spots does not make it correct, but it tells you where to start checking — and that is usually one or two steps, not the whole page.

What the marks mean

AI-written The AI wrote this step. Nobody and nothing has checked it. This is every step today.
AI flagged this The AI itself said it was assuming something here, or could not fully justify it.
checked A computer tested it — for example by putting real numbers into a formula, or trying lots of small cases. Not available yet.
verified Proved correct by specialist proof-checking software. Not available yet, and we will not use this word until it is true.

The two buttons on each step

Why is this true? asks the AI to name the rule or theorem behind that one step. Challenge it asks the AI to attack its own step and look for a case where it fails. Both are useful, and both have the same limit: you are asking the same AI that wrote the step. It catches carelessness. It does not catch things it never knew.

Things worth knowing

What comes next

Real checking by computer: putting numbers into the formulas the AI claims, testing small cases, and hunting for counterexamples. That is what turns a grey "AI-written" step into a green "checked" one, and it is the next thing being built.
