The Big Idea Behind Gauth AI

Gauth AI began life as Gauthmath in 2019 and grew into a full-subject homework sidekick powered by large language models. Snap a photo, paste a question or upload a PDF and the tool spits out step-by-step explanations in seconds. Millions of students love the speed and the lack of late-night panic. That convenience, however, now collides with geopolitical drama after the January 19 2025 U.S. ban on most ByteDance apps.

If you can still access the app in your country, here is what Gauth AI promises and what you should know before upgrading.


Key Features at a Glance

Snap-to-Solve Camera

Open the app, point your phone at a handwritten or printed question and watch instant solutions appear. Optical character recognition plus an internal AI engine handles algebra, geometry and even chemistry equations. The quick visual workflow is why teens call it magic.

AI Chat for Follow-Up Questions

After the first answer you can chat with Gauth AI for clarifications or alternative approaches. The chat uses the in-house “Gauth GPT” model, so you are not locked into a single explanation. Paid users get unlimited follow-ups and quicker responses.

PDF & Document Helper

Drag a worksheet or past exam into the PDF Question Solver and the system extracts problems automatically. You can crop specific areas, ask the AI to summarise long readings or get cited answers pulled from the document itself.

24/7 Human Tutors

Roughly five percent of questions still stump the algorithm. In those moments Gauth routes your request to a global pool of verified experts. Typical turnaround is under five minutes and chat transcripts stay in the same interface.

Study Planner & Pro Tools

Gauth AI Pro layers on an ad-free interface, a personalised study timer that splits tasks into manageable blocks, and a “Super Gauth AI” mode said to boost accuracy on edge-case problems. Power users also gain bonus tickets for priority tutor help.


Pricing in 2025

Gauth AI runs on a freemium model.

Free tier: 11 questions per day, plus extra credits by referring friends. Ads are shown and chat follow-ups are limited.

Gauth PLUS (US pricing):

– Monthly $11.99

– Quarterly $21.99

– Yearly $99.99

All paid plans unlock unlimited questions, faster processing, tutor access, no ads and the Super Gauth AI engine. Regional prices vary; Singapore, for example, pays roughly SGD 6.98 per month. One-time ticket packs can still be bought if you only need a weekend cram session.


FAQ

How to set default Gauth AI Pro?

Open Settings → Subscription → Set as Default. The app will confirm that future logins use the Pro workspace automatically.

What is Gauth?

Gauth is an AI-powered homework helper that combines image recognition, large language models and live tutors to deliver step-by-step answers across multiple subjects.

Why is Gauth getting banned?

In the United States the ban is tied to national security laws targeting ByteDance ownership. Some schools also block the app to reduce cheating.

What is Gauth app?

It is the mobile and web application interface for Gauth AI, allowing users to scan, upload or type questions for instant solutions.

Is Gauth banned?

Yes in the United States. Elsewhere it remains operational unless a school or district filters it.

Is Gauth free?

There is a free tier limited to 11 questions daily. Unlimited use requires a paid subscription.

Is Gauth AI good?

For routine homework Gauth AI is fast and generally accurate. Complex calculus or advanced physics can still trip it up, so double-check explanations.

Who owns Gauth AI?

Gauth AI is owned by ByteDance, the same Chinese tech giant behind TikTok.


Final Thoughts

If you need quick, camera-based homework help, Gauth AI delivers unmatched speed and breadth, provided you live in a region where the app still works. The Pro plan is competitively priced, especially if you burn through daily question limits. Just remember that relying on any solver without reflection can stunt real learning, and in some places the app is now legally inaccessible. Use the tool as a tutor, not a shortcut, and always keep an offline backup for exam day.
