GrindMate vs traditional AI assistants.
A general AI assistant waits for you to bring it a question. GrindMate works where the question already is. Here's what that changes.

By a traditional AI assistant we mean a general chat extension: you copy, type or screenshot a question and ask it yourself. Individual products differ; this compares that typical way of working.
Two steps instead of six.
With a chat assistant you carry every question to it and every answer back. GrindMate skips the round trip.

A whole page in one go.
A chat assistant answers one question at a time. GrindMate prepares the answers for every question on the page together, so they're ready by the time you reach them.

Four ways to find every question.
GrindMate finds the questions on the page by itself, and it has four different ways of spotting them. If one way misses a question, the next one catches it, so a redesigned site or an unusual quiz layout doesn't stop it working.
Image questions, without the screenshot.
Graphs, diagrams and pictures are part of the question. GrindMate reads them along with the text. With a chat assistant you take a screenshot and upload it yourself.
- At x = 2
- At x = 5
- At x = 8
With a chat assistant:
- Take a screenshot
- Upload it
- Type the question
Every answer on the right question.
Before an answer is filled in, GrindMate makes sure it belongs to that exact question, even when two questions look alike. With a chat assistant, matching the reply to the question is up to you.
Matching the answer to its question doesn't make the answer itself correct. Always check it before you submit.
