Quiz AI: Homework Helper

What it does

Quiz.AI is an AI-driven mobile app designed to help students with their homework. Its primary function is a 'scan and solve' feature that uses the phone's camera to capture questions from worksheets or textbooks. The app can provide detailed, step-by-step solutions for math problems and also includes a tool for translating text from images.

Where it shines

The app's onboarding (starting at 00:06) is a standout. It uses a conversational quiz to quickly understand a student's pain points, like how much time they spend on homework, and then presents tailored value propositions. The core feature of scanning a math problem (01:09) is fast, and the resulting AI-generated answer (01:17) is well-structured and easy to follow. The unified camera interface for different tasks, such as solving math or translating text (02:53), creates a simple and intuitive user experience.

UX highlights

Conversational Onboarding: The initial quiz (00:10-00:39) feels more like a dialogue than a form, thanks to frequent, positive reinforcement screens that validate user input.
Visual Value Framing: At 00:15, the app effectively shows a 'before and after' scenario, turning an abstract benefit (saving time) into a concrete visual.
Progressive Disclosure in Solutions: After providing an answer, an "Explain it" button (01:29) allows users who want more information to get a deeper breakdown without cluttering the initial view for those who don't.
Unified Camera UI: The main interface (02:51) cleverly uses a simple tab-like navigation at the bottom to switch between modes (Translate, Math Questions, All Subjects) without leaving the camera view.
Contextual Rating Prompt: The app waits until the user has successfully solved their first problem before asking for a rating (01:39), targeting them at a moment of high satisfaction.

Monetization & growth

The app employs a soft paywall strategy, first presenting a subscription offer at the end of the onboarding flow (00:43). It offers a single annual plan, framed with a monthly cost to appear more affordable. The paywall reappears as an interruptive modal (02:23) when the user tries to perform certain actions, such as interacting with a translated text, effectively gating advanced usage. No free trial is offered in the flow shown.

Who it’s for

Quiz.AI is targeted at middle school, high school, and college students who need quick assistance with homework. Its primary use case is for students struggling with specific math problems who need to see the steps to understand the solution. A secondary audience includes students who need to translate text from foreign language materials or other documents for their studies.

Notes & opportunities

The immediate, back-to-back system permission prompts for notifications and tracking at 00:00 could cause a significant number of users to drop off before experiencing the app. A custom warm-up screen explaining the benefits of these permissions could improve opt-in rates. Additionally, the paywall that interrupts the translation workflow at 02:23 feels abrupt and could frustrate users who just completed a task.
