Founded by the former Vice-President of AI in Meta, Jerome Pesenti, Sizzle is a free learning application fueled by AI which generates responses step by step to mathematical equations and word problems. The company recently launched four new features, including a rating capacity, a functionality that regenerates the steps, an option to see several responses to a problem and the possibility of downloading photos of the assignments.
Sizzle operates similarly to mathematical solver platforms as Photomath And SymbolabBut that can also solve words problems in subjects such as physics, chemistry and biology. Sizzle provides help with all levels of learning, college and high school in AP and college.
It is typical that students use learning applications fueled by AI to instantly get answers without learning anything. OPENAI Cat was a common source to help students cheat. However, Sizzle does not simply provide solutions to problems. The application acts as a tutor chatbot, guiding the student at each stage. Students can also ask AI questions so that they can better understand the concepts.
“After leaving Meta, I was inspired to take advantage of the AI to really help students and non-students, regardless of the type of context from which they come, the school they frequent or the number of resources they have,” Techcrunch Pesenti told more safe meta-products thanks to the use of AI, told Techcrunch. “I thought that AI applications had not had a clear positive impact on people’s lives. Using it to transform learning is an opportunity to change this. ”
The Sizzle application exploits models of large third languages such as Openai and develops its own models internally, said Pesenti. The AI precision rate is 90%.
With the new functionality “Grade your homework”, users can now download an image of an assignment of homework finished, and the application will provide specific comments on each solution. If a user makes a mistake, Sizzle tells him to try again and guide them.
His new “Try a different approach” allows the user to suggest a different way of solving the problem in a way that makes sense for them. Users can type a brief explanation for how they want AI to get over, and it will regenerate a step -by -step solution.
There is also a “Give Me Choices” option, which gives users several answers to choose. We see this useful feature to prepare students for upcoming tests.
In addition, the capacity “answer with a photo” allows them to download images from their camera roll. Sizzle users could already use their phones to scan a problem.
Built by a team with Meta, Google, X (formerly Twitter) and Twitch backgrounds, Sizzle has already had more than 20,000 downloads since its launch in August. The average note on both App Store And Google Play Store is currently 4.6 stars.
Sizzle hopes that the deployment of these new features will encourage more students to try the application.
Unlike most learning applications that force users to pay to unlock certain features, Sizzle is completely free. The company finally wishes to add a premium offer and integrated purchases, but the application version to solve problems step by step will remain free.
Sizzle recently obtained $ 7.5 million in seed funding, led by OWL Ventures, with participation of 8VC and French. Sizzle uses funding to enlarge her team and help develop the product. The company plans to add more features in the coming months.
