Show HN: TutorFlowAI – Interactive AI Tutoring

I've been working on this project since December and would appreciate any feedback. It allows you to do work on a whiteboard, and then chat with the AI about your work. You can try it now without logging in, though if certain rate limits are hit you may have to input your own API key.

Show HN: DualBoard – a collaborative whiteboard for face-to-face tutoring

DualBoard – Split-Screen Whiteboard for Face-to-Face Tutoring Purpose: DualBoard solves a common problem in face-to-face tutoring and teaching. When an instructor sits across from a student and draws on a traditional whiteboard or tablet, the student sees everything upside-down, making it hard to follow. While sitting side-by-side can avoid this issue, many find it more engaging and natural to face each other during tutoring or study sessions. DualBoard lets you do that without the awkwardness of flipping devices or screens. How It Works: The tutor draws on the bottom canvas (Editor View) using mouse, stylus, or touch input. The top canvas (Viewer View) automatically shows a 180-degree rotated version of everything drawn below. So when the tutor writes “HELLO” normally, the student sees “HELLO” right-side up from their perspective. Use Cases: Math tutoring (equations, graphs, problem solving) Language learning (writing practice, character formation) Art instruction Technical drawing an

Ask HN: What should I with the content of my previous Math Tutoring Startup?

Hi HN. My name is Jurgen. I'm the Co-Founder and CTO of amy.app About one year ago we couldn't secure any more funding and had to shut down the company after 7 years. During that time, our content team generated about 25000 math exercises. Each exercise has a step by step solution. Furthermore for each step it includes pedagogically valuable mistakes students might make. Given that content is pedagogically sound and human curated it might be useful to someone. It could be used for things like AI training (after all it resembles a chat) or for creating individual math exercise to print them on paper. If anyone has some pointers I would love to hear them - Here is a content explorer: https://curriculum.amy.app/ToM (this does not includes the mistakes part) - That's the landing page: https://www.amy.app (you can try it by click the demo button) - This is an SAT specific version: https://sat.amy.app Please find my contacts in my HN profile.
