Does Question.AI cost money, or is it free?

It uses a freemium model. You can get basic answers for free, but they often limit the number of 'pro' solutions or photo-scans per day unless you subscribe. Expect to see prompts to upgrade if your kid is using it for a heavy study session.

Can it actually solve word problems, or just equations?

It's surprisingly good at word problems because it uses natural language processing to 'read' the context. However, it can sometimes get tripped up by 'trick' questions that require common sense rather than just math logic.

Will teachers know if my kid used this for an essay?

Most likely. AI writing has a very specific, polished, but slightly 'flat' tone that teachers are becoming experts at spotting. Plus, most schools now use AI-detection software that can flag text generated by apps like this.

Is the 'Kids Mode' actually safe?

The Kids Mode basically tightens the filters on inappropriate content and keeps the explanations simpler. It's a solid feature, but it doesn't solve the problem of the AI giving wrong information—it just makes sure that information is 'G-rated.'

Screenwise Verdict

Question.AI is a slick, specialized wrapper for the kind of LLM tech we've become used to, but it's tuned specifically for the 'I'm stuck on this assignment' use case. It’s significantly more helpful than a standard search engine because it can explain why a solution works, provided the student is actually looking for the explanation.

The real challenge isn't the tech—it's the discipline. If your kid uses this as a digital tutor to get over a hump, it's a 10/10 tool. If they use it to automate their education while they play Roblox on another screen, it's a net negative. It’s a great 'co-pilot' app, but you’ll want to keep an eye on whether they’re actually flying the plane.

Age Fit

Best for ages 10 and up. Middle schoolers and high schoolers will get the most out of the academic tools, while younger kids might lack the discernment to handle AI errors or the temptation to skip their actual work.

WISE Breakdown

Wholesome

The tone is helpful and supportive, functioning as a 24/7 tutor. However, the 'companion' framing for an AI can be a bit heavy-handed for younger kids who might personify the software too much.

Imaginative

It is primarily a utility tool for finding existing answers rather than a creative sandbox. While it can help with creative writing prompts, its core function is retrieval and explanation.

Safe

Includes a kids' mode and standard AI safety guardrails. Like all LLMs, there is always a non-zero risk of hallucinations or bypassing filters, but it is positioned as an educational tool.

Enriching

Excellent for breaking down complex math or language barriers, but carries a high risk of becoming a 'crutch' that replaces critical thinking with copy-pasted answers.

Parent Info

✓

Why It Might Be Great

Instant math solver that lets kids snap a photo of a problem and get a step-by-step breakdown rather than just the final number.
Massive language support with over 140 languages, making it a powerhouse for ESL students or anyone struggling through Spanish III.
Low friction interface that doesn't require learning complex prompts like ChatGPT; you just ask and it answers.
24/7 availability means if your kid is spiraling over a chemistry lab at 10 PM, they have a place to get immediate clarification.

⚠

What to Watch For

The line between 'tutoring' and 'cheating' is razor-thin here. It's very easy for a kid to just copy the output without actually learning the underlying concept.
AI hallucinations are still a thing in 2026. It can be confidently wrong about historical dates or specific scientific facts, so it still needs a 'trust but verify' approach.
The 'Personal Assistant' marketing encourages kids to treat the AI as a friend, which can be a weird social dynamic for younger users who aren't tech-literate enough to know there's no 'soul' in the machine.

Conversation Starters

"If the AI solves the whole math packet for you, did you actually do your homework?"
"How can we check if the AI is telling the truth or just making up a convincing lie?"
"When is it okay to use AI for school, and when should it be off-limits?"
"Does having an AI 'friend' feel different than talking to a real person?"

Deep Dive

The Homework Helper Arms Race

By 2026, AI in education isn't a novelty—it's the baseline. Question.AI sits in that sweet spot between a general-purpose chatbot like ChatGPT and a specialized tool like Photomath. Its biggest selling point is the multi-modal input; being able to snap a photo of a messy handwritten equation and get a coherent explanation is a genuine lifesaver for parents who haven't looked at a quadratic formula in twenty years.

Accuracy and Reliability

While the app boasts high accuracy rates, it’s important to remember that these tools are predictive, not 'thinking.' In our evaluation, it handles straightforward algebra and grammar corrections with ease. However, when it comes to nuanced literary analysis or multi-step physics problems, it can occasionally trip over its own logic. This is actually a great teaching moment: showing a kid where the AI got a fact wrong is often more educational than the AI getting it right.

The Social Component

One thing to note is the app's push toward 'companionship.' The marketing frames the AI as a 'knowledgeable friend' who is 'always by your side.' For a teenager looking for quick answers, that's just marketing fluff. For a younger, more impressionable child, it can lead to a strange dependency. If you're letting a 10-year-old use this, it’s worth a quick chat about how the AI is just a very fancy autocomplete, not a person with feelings or real advice.
