What is Fermi
Fermi is an AI education platform founded by former Google executive Peeyush Ranjan, focusing on personalized tutoring in STEM subjects (mathematics, physics, chemistry). Unlike traditional AI tools that directly give answers, Fermi emphasizes "efficient exploration," analyzing students' problem-solving reasoning through a handwritten smart canvas and guiding students to solve problems independently. The platform supports adaptive real-time tutoring, concept map question banks, and diagnostic analytics, and can cultivate students' genuine conceptual understanding rather than reliance on shortcuts.
Fermi's Main Features
- Handwritten Smart Canvas: Supports stylus input, allowing students to handwrite solution steps and draw diagrams (such as force diagrams and molecular structures), simulating the natural classroom thinking process.
- Real-Time Reasoning Analysis: AI analyzes students' problem-solving process line by line, precisely locating errors in their reasoning, rather than merely judging whether the answer is right or wrong.
- Adaptive Tutoring: Guides step by step without directly giving answers, encouraging students to think independently; supports repeated questions, and the AI answers patiently and never judges.
- Personalized Practice: Intelligently recommends questions based on a concept graph, provides unlimited adaptive practice targeting weak areas, or offers challenges at higher difficulty.
- Diagnostics and Insights: Tracks concept mastery for students and provides classroom-level learning analytics for teachers, precisely identifying areas needing improvement.
- Homework Assistance: Supports daily homework and exam preparation (AP, IB, JEE, etc.), helping students understand rather than merely cope with assignments.

Fermi's Application Scenarios
-
Homework Tutoring: Students handwrite their problem-solving process, and the AI analyzes the reasoning logic in real time and points out misconceptions, guiding independent correction rather than directly telling them the answer.
-
Exam Review: Based on a concept graph, it intelligently diagnoses weak areas and precisely delivers targeted practice, helping students efficiently break through knowledge blind spots.
-
Learning Diagnostics: Teachers can view a class concept mastery heatmap through a data dashboard, quickly locating common weak points to optimize teaching strategies.
-
Independent Practice: AI adaptively adjusts question difficulty based on student ability, continuously challenging them at the edge of their comfort zone to cultivate independent problem-solving skills.
-
Mistake Review: The system records and analyzes types of historical errors, helping students clarify whether they were caused by conceptual misunderstanding, calculation mistakes, or logical leaps.
