Botan: homework by photo

Stuck on a physics problem, the textbook says nothing, and it is due tomorrow? Botan offers a quick way out: photograph the task, send it to the bot and get a solution. 📚

It is a Telegram bot with a neural network that recognizes photos and voice messages. The official website promises solutions in math, physics, chemistry and other subjects without ads.

How it understands a task

The bot reads the text from the picture, parses the conditions and builds an answer. This works with formulas and drawings too, if the photo is clear.

You can skip the photo and record a voice message or type the question. That is handy when you need an explanation, a ready answer alone. 🎤

What you get in the chat

• /start: launching the bot.
• /instruction: a short guide on how to photograph a task.
• /sub: a subscription with extended options.
• /help: help and support contacts.

For the terms of the free mode and the subscription price, check the bot. They can change, and it is worth reading the offer before paying. 💎

Taking a good photo

1. Shoot in good light, with no glare or shadow from your hand.
2. Hold the phone level above the page so lines do not tilt.
3. Fit the whole task into the frame: the condition and all the data.
4. If a task has several parts, send them one at a time.
5. Add a comment about what you need: a solution, a check or an explanation.

Where the AI makes mistakes

A neural network writes confidently even when it is wrong. This happens most often in long calculations, in geometry with unusual drawings and in tasks with an ambiguous condition.

So verify the answer: plug the number into the equation, check the units, judge whether the result is sensible. You do not need a teacher for that, a couple of minutes is enough. ✅

Copy it or learn from it

If you just copy a ready solution, nothing stays in your head, and the bot will not be there at the exam. It is far more useful to try solving it yourself first and then compare your line of thought.

Ask the bot to explain the steps, then close the solution and repeat it without a hint. Preparation for school tests and final exams goes faster that way. 🎯

When it is easier to ask a teacher

If the bot gives an answer that disagrees with the textbook, do not argue with it half the night. Ask your teacher or a classmate instead: that tells you which method your course uses and what is expected at grading.

Sometimes a school requires a specific format for writing solutions: given, find, formulas. The bot may give the right line of thought, but you will have to format it yourself to your teacher's requirements. That is part of learning too, and it is worth mastering early.

If a topic does not click at all, return to the basic examples in the textbook. A neural network helps when you already grasp the basics and are stuck at one spot.

Teachers notice template solutions, and school rules may forbid copying. Use the bot as a tutor for breaking a problem down, not as a replacement for homework.

Do not send photos where faces, documents or personal data are visible. Tasks do not need them. 🔒

Who Botan helps

It helps students who need to quickly sort out a typical task and parents who have not solved equations for years. For complex projects and olympiads, bring in a live mentor. 🚀
