QANDA (Mathpresso): The AI Tutor Transforming Math Learning Across Asia
by 
In Asia’s rapidly expanding digital education environment, one platform has risen quickly to become Asia’s leading AI Tutor through its ability to provide students with instant assistance – QANDA by Mathpresso. Founded in South Korea, QANDA is used throughout Vietnam, Japan, Indonesia, Thailand and beyond, representing the most significant leap forward in the application of Artificial Intelligence in education – the combination of Computer Vision, Deep Learning and Conversational Artificial Intelligence into an innovative, learning-focused system for students.
Having registered over 90 million users, QANDA has 8 million active learners each month. QANDA exemplifies the future of academic support, offering a highly personalised conversational experience for users using advanced AI, especially for Mathematics. The adoption of QANDA so quickly in so many different markets is a perfect example of an innovative leader highlighted at Conversational AI Summit Asia, as Educators and EdTech Leaders, and Strategic Policymakers discuss how Artificial Intelligence will have a transformational impact on the next wave of technology.
What Makes QANDA’s AI Tutor Unique?
The primary strength of QANDA is its OCR-enabled workflow, in which students can take a photo of their math question, and the QANDA math learning AI extracts, comprehends, and solves it while delivering explanations of the step-by-step solving process in a format easy for students to understand.
Unlike traditional homework helper technologies that provide answers at best, QANDA has taken school homework helper technology to an entirely new level by providing students with a continuous conversation experience through a simple-to-use AI interface that mimics the interaction of a home study partner with a student. Where the QANDA conversational experience truly differentiates itself from other products is in how natural, empathetic and personal their responses are to the student based on their current level of learning.
Currently, the proprietary MathGPT model that QANDA is using today is already outperforming some of the top-performing global benchmarks, such as Microsoft ToRA 13B and has demonstrated how the evolution of the Asian-led development of AI in education is changing the methodology of providing academic support to a global audience on a massive scale.
AI in Education Reinvented for Asian Students
Through a platform designed specifically for this purpose, unlike any other global EDTech companies, QANDA provides solutions to some of the distinct challenges faced by educational institutions and students in Asia relating to multitasking in multiple languages, preparing for multiple types of assessments & test preparation using methods that support study. QANDA meets these unique educational challenges based on the following features:
- Instant Homework Support
Students can receive immediate, ongoing feedback on their homework assignments so that they may continue to learn while working on their homework and immediately receive answers to any difficulties they may encounter while doing their homework, before becoming frustrated.
- An Engaging Conversational Experience
Through the use of a conversation-based format between a student and their AI Tutor, students can communicate with their tutor multiple times per day, developing a strong rapport with their tutor, creating an engaging connection with the learning experience, and keeping their communication lines open, allowing for increased communication, motivation, confidence, and greater success during their academic careers.
- Multilingual Capabilities
As Asia has many dialects and regional languages, QANDA’s ability to identify languages through algorithms is strategically designed to allow for many languages to be easily accessible to as many users as possible. Therefore, as many students as possible can have access to this amazing learning tool.
- Learning Insights Based on Data-Driven Learning
QANDA provides Parent/Aspiring Educators with real-time information via dashboards regarding their Students’ behaviour related to their strengths and weaknesses and their academic progress based on specific Topics over time.
Why QANDA Represents the Future of Digital Learning in Asia
As QANDA grows, its success illustrates the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in education across the region, with growing demand for personalized tutoring, real-time support, and adaptive learning strategies. It is the perfect complement to the habits of today’s students who have become accustomed to using digital study groups, mobile applications, and conversational AI tools for their day-to-day learning activities. As AI-based solutions for education gain momentum at global forums such as the Conversational AI & Customer Experience Summit Asia, QANDA is an example of how Asia will take a lead role in developing scalable, inclusive digital learning solutions.
QANDA has created an Educational Ecosystem that is not just another App for Math Learning in Asia through Innovation, World-Class Engineering and a human-centred design approach.
Conclusion
The success of QANDA throughout Asia shows that a well-designed and thoughtful AI Tutor can lead to significant improvement in students’ academic performance and provide supportive private feedback helping to reduce the burden experienced by students in crossing the gap to excel at Math learning,as well as change their view on Mathematics as a whole.
