AI Homework Helper

What is Mindko?

Mindko is an AI-assisted tool for students’ homework and review, formerly known as College Tools. It brings together functions such as solving problems on web pages, recognizing problems through photos, organizing course materials, and providing tools for proactive review in one single platform.

Users can enter questions via the web interface, browser extensions, or iPhone apps; they can also obtain step-by-step instructions by taking screenshots, selecting text, or using camera scanning. It is useful for understanding concepts and checking problem-solving approaches, but it should not replace independent learning.

Main functions

Solving problems in the browser

• Identify questions on web pages directly through a Chrome extension, reducing the need to switch between course pages and messaging tools.
• It supports selecting text, extracting the question area, or entering questions manually, and provides answers along with step-by-step reasoning.
• You can upload lecture notes, guides, and PDFs to enable answers to be based on individual course materials.
• It allows for further questions, helping users to understand formulas, concepts, and incorrect steps.

Photography and multidisciplinary tutoring

The mobile version offers a Scan & Solve feature that allows users to take pictures of paper-based assignments or exercises and receive explanations for them. The subjects covered by this feature include mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, economics, engineering, medicine, writing, and many others.

Some answers will include clues or relevant videos to facilitate further verification and learning. AI may still misinterpret images, overlook certain conditions, or provide incorrect answers; it is necessary to verify the information oneself before submitting the assignment.

Study Sets – collections of learning materials

Users can import PDF files, classroom recordings, YouTube content, audio files, and handwritten notes; the system uses these to create study sets that can be used for review. It is ideal for converting scattered course materials into well-structured learning resources.

• Automatically organizes course notes and key summaries.
• Generate flashcards, practice quizzes, and active recall tasks.
• Create mind maps and learn from podcasts.
• It keeps track of the level of mastery, helping to identify the topics that still need review.
• It provides transcript generation for classroom recordings, study guides, and essay grading tools.

Language and platform

Mindko claims to support more than 15 languages, but the quality of text recognition is affected by the subject matter, image clarity, and the language of the text. It is currently available primarily through web pages, Chrome browser extensions, and iPhone apps.

The App Store page specifies that iPhones must run iOS 15 or a later version. The language options available in the store, device compatibility, and features offered may vary; it is advisable to check the details on the app’s page before installing it.

Which users are it suitable for

• Students who need to verify the steps for math, science, or business-related problems.
• Users who wish to organize lecture notes and class recordings into review materials.
• Those who need to reinforce their knowledge using flashcards, quizzes, and active recall.
• Learners who wish to obtain explanations of concepts directly on the online course page.
• Students who need feedback on their essays or assistance with multilingual learning.

Member price

The following are the information from the official website and its terms of service as of August 25, 2026. Prices, taxes, discounts, and available quotas may change; the final details will be those shown on the actual payment page.

The App Store may display different in-app purchase options, various pricing rates, or historical prices at the same time; therefore, it is not appropriate to consider each price listed there as the current uniform price on the official website. The official terms also state that purchases are generally non-refundable, and canceling a subscription only prevents renewal for the next period.

“Infinite use” does not mean there are no limitations.

The subscription page on the official website uses phrases such as \"unlimited access,\" but the official terms of service stipulate daily usage limits and allow the platform to adjust these limits. Users who use the service frequently should check their actual remaining quota in their account before making a purchase, rather than relying solely on the promotional statements.

Usage tutorial

1. Open Mindko and create an account; choose between the web version, a browser extension, or an iPhone app depending on your device.
2. Enter the question, select text from a webpage, capture the question area, or use your phone to take a photo of the printed content.
3. Read the step-by-step explanations, check the conditions of the questions, the calculation processes, and the sources cited; do not just copy the final answers.
4. When it’s time to review a course, create a new Study Set and upload lecture notes, recordings, videos, or notes.
5. Use the generated flashcards and quizzes for active recall, and then note down the areas that need further review based on your level of mastery.
6. When you no longer need the paid features, you should cancel your subscription through the purchase channel used to acquire them before the renewal date.

Academic integrity and usage boundaries

The official website has promoted its capabilities by claiming that it cannot be detected by schools, but the official terms of service explicitly prohibit cheating, plagiarism, and other forms of academic misconduct. There is a clear contradiction between these two statements; therefore, it is advisable to use this tool as a means of assistance for studying and reviewing, rather than to obtain unauthorized answers in exams or restricted tests.

• First, answer independently, then use AI to check the steps and explain any mistakes.
• When using AI for assistance, comply with the school’s, teachers’ and course-related disclosure rules.
• Do not upload test key codes, fully copyrighted textbooks, or anyone’s private information.
• For subjects in high-risk fields such as medicine and engineering, it is necessary to refer to course textbooks and the opinions of instructors.

Requirements for minors’ use

The terms of service require users to be at least 13 years old; those under 18 must have their guardian’s consent and use the service under direct supervision. Even if the app store indicates a lower age rating for the content, this rating should not be mistaken for the minimum age required to register on the platform.

Privacy and data considerations

During registration and use, information such as name, email address, login details, purchase information, device identifiers, usage analysis data, as well as photos, videos, or course files uploaded by the user may be collected. When using third-party login options or integration features, those services may also be involved in data processing.

The privacy policy does not stipulate a fixed retention period for all data; instead, this period is determined based on the services provided and legal requirements. Before uploading assignments, class recordings, or files containing personal information, it is necessary to obtain the appropriate authorization, and names, student IDs, and other sensitive details should be removed as much as possible.

API and open-source status

As of this verification, no official developer API provided by Mindko for the public was found, nor were any official open-source projects that represent this commercial product available. Code repositories for task assistants with similar names on the internet cannot be considered official Mindko projects.

Product advantages

• The methods for entering data, such as selecting web pages, recognizing screenshots, and taking photos with a smartphone, are quite comprehensive.

Usage restrictions

• AI responses may contain errors in recognition, reasoning, and facts; the authorities do not guarantee their completeness or accuracy.
• The so-called unlimited plan may still be subject to daily usage limits and rules regarding reasonable use.
• With automatic renewal, fees may be incurred if it is not canceled before the end of the free trial period.
• The use of external AI is prohibited in some courses or exams; violating this rule may constitute academic misconduct.
• The features and prices of mobile apps, web versions, and browser extensions may not be exactly the same.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Mindko be used for free?

It is possible to experience some of the basic functions, and a 3-day trial subscription may be available. The number of free questions, advanced features, and trial rights can vary; always check the account page for the latest details.

Can it complete all tasks directly?

It can identify and explain multidisciplinary problems, but it cannot guarantee the correctness of the answers; nor should it replace students in carrying out the assessment tasks on their own. It is more suitable for checking reasoning processes, understanding the steps involved, and reviewing material after class.

What is the difference between annual and monthly payments?

According to the terms on the official website, the monthly fee is 19.99 dollars, while the annual fee is 59.99 dollars; the annual option offers a lower average cost. In both cases, renewal is automatic, and the benefits as well as the amount of usage are still subject to the terms of the current plan and the policies regarding reasonable use.

Whether an API or an open-source version is available

To date, no public official developer API has been identified, nor is there any official open-source version of a commercial product. Third-party projects with the same name are not necessarily related to the Mindko service.
