Fits on everything we could check

For a student in China, the country it was built for.

  • CurriculumNo exam claimed

    It names no school exam, so this counts neither for nor against it.

  • LanguageFits

    Teaches in the classroom languages of China.

  • PriceNot verified

    We haven't found its price on the maker's own pages.

  • DeviceNot verified

    We haven't yet confirmed which device most students in China use.

Worked out from the maker’s own published facts, checked 4 and 5 October 2026. Nobody hand-scores these. How it’s worked outlearnerfirst.com · The Four Mismatches Test

Independence: our publisher builds learning products too. We never review or score its products, and no tool pays to be listed or to rank higher — how we assess fit.

What it does

What the AI actually does — A photo-search homework solver (image recognition matches a snapped question to a solution bank); Xiaoyuan Kousuan grades handwritten arithmetic via image recognition.

Why it was built — Use a free homework-solver hook plus low-latency live video to give exam-focused K-12 students affordable access to good teachers.
