Solvely.ai Wants Its AI Tutor to Make Students More Capable
San Francisco – October 10, 2026 -- Solvely.ai's AI math solver walks learners through text or image-based questions with step-by-step explanations, follow-up questions and visual whiteboard explanations. The company says the goal is helping people build understanding and skills rather than simply completing tasks.
Co-founder says AI should empower learners, not replace them
Co-founder Richard Weiqi Zhang shared the approach at Funding Conviction, a September 18, 2026, webinar hosted by Edtech Insiders. Reach Capital's Steve Kupfer and Minerva's Ben Nelson also joined the discussion. "The goal is still to empower the learner, not to replace them," Zhang said.
