Frequently Asked Questions

What is AskEd?

AskEd is a free AI-powered study coach built for high-school students in Canada. It helps you solve homework problems, prepare for tests, learn subjects more clearly, and even study together with friends in shared rooms.


How does the Scan-and-Solve feature work?

You can snap a photo of your math, science, or English question, and AskEd’s AI will read it, understand it, and walk you through the solution step-by-step. The scan happens on your device before being sent to our AI model for processing. Your images are not saved.


Which subjects does AskEd support?

AskEd currently supports:

  • Math
  • Physics
  • Chemistry
  • Biology
  • English
  • History


More subjects and grade-specific content are being added over time.


Is AskEd really free?

Yes. All core features — chat tutoring, scanning, study rooms, practice questions, and games — are completely free. No ads, no paywalls.


Does AskEd work for all grade levels?

AskEd is currently optimized for Canadian high-school students (Grades 9–12). Many middle-school and college students also find it useful, especially for math and science.


Can AskEd help with test or exam preparation?

Definitely. Students use AskEd to review concepts, get explanations, practice difficult topics, and build study plans. The AI coach adjusts explanations to the student’s level.


What are Study Rooms?

Study Rooms let friends collaborate in real time. You can chat, ask questions together, and have Ed (the AI study coach) join or leave the conversation as needed.


Does AskEd save my homework images or chat messages?

No. Images you scan are processed temporarily to generate the answer and then discarded. Chat messages are stored only locally on your device to help you see your past conversations. We do not sell or share data.


How accurate are the answers?

AskEd uses GPT-5-level technology, which is highly accurate for structured subjects like math, physics, chemistry, and biology. Still, students should double-check complex work — especially when learning something new.


Can AskEd solve entire assignments for me?

AskEd is designed as a learning tool. It will guide you step-by-step and explain the reasoning behind answers, helping you understand the material instead of just copying it.


Does AskEd require an account?

No account is required to use AskEd. Just download the app and start learning.


Does AskEd work offline?

Some features like chat tutoring and scan-and-solve require an internet connection because they rely on cloud AI models. Other features, like certain games, work offline.


Which devices does AskEd support?

AskEd is available for iPhone and iPad running iOS 17 or later. An Android version is planned.


Who built AskEd?

AskEd is built in Canada by a team passionate about helping students learn more effectively using modern AI tools. Feedback from students, teachers, and parents shapes the app’s ongoing development.
