What is Physics AI?
Physics AI is an educational tutoring tool that helps students understand physics concepts through guided explanations, step-by-step reasoning, and instant problem solving. It uses artificial intelligence to solve physics problems across all major fields including mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, relativity, and quantum physics. The tool works by letting users upload a photo of their homework or type their question, with AI that reads handwriting and circuit diagrams instantly.
Key features include two operating modes:

Frequently asked questions about Physics AI
What physics topics does Physics AI cover?
Physics AI covers the full syllabus from high-school to university level including kinematics (1D & 2D), Newton's Laws, work & energy, momentum & impulse, rotational motion, gravitation, circuits (DC/AC), electric fields, magnetism & induction, simple harmonic motion, optics & lenses, sound waves, laws of thermodynamics, entropy & heat, ideal gas law, fluid dynamics, special relativity, and quantum mechanics. It follows the main path of most physics courses and works across different chapters and grades.
Can Physics AI read handwritten homework photos?
In many cases yes. Physics AI can usually understand clear notebook photos with readable handwriting and common diagrams like free-body sketches, circuit drawings, and simple graphs. If the image is blurred, very dark, or the writing is hard to read, the result may be less accurate. For best results, take photos in good light, keep the question in focus, or type the text.
What is the difference between Solver Mode and Tutor Mode?
In Thinking/Tutor mode, Physics AI breaks the solution into gentle steps: identifying what is given, choosing relevant relationships, rearranging formulas, substituting values, and checking units. In Just Answer/Solver mode, it focuses on a quicker response so you can quickly compare with your own work. Tutor mode uses the Socratic method asking leading questions to help you build mental models, while Solver mode gives precise step-by-step calculation and final answer instantly.
Does Physics AI work for university-level physics?
Yes. Physics AI is trained on a broad mix of high-school and many first and second year university physics questions. It usually does well on standard topics such as mechanics, electricity and magnetism, waves, and introductory modern physics. Physics GPT is trained on advanced university curriculums including calculus-based physics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism, handling complex engineering math better than standard AI.
Do I need to pay to use Physics AI?
No payment needed to start. Create a free account and get bonus credits to try Physics AI on your own homework. You can solve your own homework questions instantly with no credit card required. There are paid plans available for unlimited use with monthly or annual billing options, but you can cancel anytime.
Can Physics AI generate diagrams and visualizations?
Yes. When text alone is not enough, you can ask AI to 'Draw it for me' and get clear physics diagrams instantly. It generates free-body diagrams showing tension, friction, and gravity components with precise vector arrows, circuit layouts, setup visuals, kinematic graphs (position vs. time), harmonic motion waves, and thermodynamic PV diagrams. It visualizes complex mechanical setups like multi-pulley systems, optical lens benches, or circuit diagrams.
How accurate is Physics AI for word problems?
The AI excels at breaking down long, confusing word problems into clear logic, identifying which variables you have and which formulas to use. It turns confusing paragraphs into clear logic by identifying knowns, unknowns, and the right laws whether it's kinematics or thermodynamics. The AI is trained on the exact curriculum students see in class: word problems, forces, motion, and exam questions, focusing on logic not just math.
What happens for very advanced or specialized physics problems?
For very advanced, highly specialized, or research-level problems, Physics AI recommends using it as a guide and still confirming results with your instructor or textbook. While it handles standard topics well, the most specialized research-level problems may require additional verification beyond what the AI provides.
Can I use Physics AI for exam preparation?
Yes, Physics AI is perfect for cramming before an exam. It helps you review concepts quickly, check your answers, and understand the derivation path so you can master the method for your next exam. The Tutor Mode is best for learning hard concepts before an exam as it helps you understand rather than just copy answers.
How do I get started with Physics AI?
Create a free account and get bonus credits to try Physics AI on your own homework with no payment needed. Just paste your question or snap a photo - Physics AI reads messy handwriting, printed text, and analyzes diagrams like free-body sketches or circuits. Choose Tutor Mode for step-by-step conceptual walkthrough or Solver Mode for fast precise numerical check, then see the derivation showing how formulas are chosen, rearranged, and solved.
