Chemistry AI is a web-based chemistry problem solver that transforms homework questions into step-by-step solutions, offering both quick final answers and detailed guided explanations. It takes text prompts, equations, and uploaded photos (PNG, JPG, WEBP, max 10 MB) and produces structured answers with setup, units, steps, and final results. Developed by Chem AI, the tool runs in a browser and supports English.
What is Chemistry AI?
Chemistry AI is a specialized AI tool for solving chemistry problems step by step. It accepts typed prompts, pasted equations, or uploaded photos (clean prints or handwritten) and outputs clear, methodical solutions with units, balanced equations, and key steps. It operates on the web and is built by the team behind Chemistry AI.
Key Features
- Two solving modes: "Thinking Mode" provides a full tutor-style walkthrough with givens → formulas → substitutions → unit checks; "Just Answer Mode" returns only the final answer for quick verification.
- Image upload support: Accepts PNG, JPG, WEBP photos (less than 10 MB) of printed or handwritten problems — no need to retype messy notes.
- Step-by-step solutions: Every answer includes setup, formulas, substitutions, and unit checks, so students can follow reasoning and spot errors.
- Visual diagram generation: On request, Chemistry AI can generate diagrams (e.g., Born-Haber cycles, distillation setups, organic mechanisms) to complement text explanations.
- Topic coverage: Handles stoichiometry, balancing equations, acids and bases, redox reactions, organic chemistry (mechanisms, stereochemistry), thermochemistry, equilibrium, and more.
- Keyboard with formula symbols: Built-in keypad for entering subscripts, superscripts, reaction arrows, and Greek letters (e.g., Δ, °, →, ⇌).
- Credit system: Each request costs credits — simpler tasks (text-only, Just Answer) use fewer credits than image uploads with Thinking mode.
Who is it for?
- High school and college students: Check homework, prepare for exams, and learn step-by-step reasoning for topics like stoichiometry, organic mechanisms, and thermodynamics.
- Tutors: Generate practice problems and walkthroughs on demand, or verify student work quickly.
- Self-learners: Build chemistry intuition by following detailed explanations for unfamiliar reactions or calculations.
- Pre-med and AP Chem students: Master foundational topics (acids/bases, redox, kinetics) with guided mode and visual aids.
What can you do with Chemistry AI?
- Balance chemical equations: Enter unbalanced equations (e.g., KMnO₄ + HCl → KCl + MnCl₂ + Cl₂ + H₂O) and get a balanced result with step-by-step stoichiometry checks.
- Solve stoichiometry problems: Convert between grams, moles, and molarity with full setup and unit-safe math (e.g., "Find the molarity: 5.85 g NaCl diluted to 250 mL").
- Predict organic products and mechanisms: Ask for the major product and curved-arrow mechanism (e.g., Benzene + HNO₃/H₂SO₄ → ?) and get a clear explanation.
- Get visual explanations: Prompt "Draw it for me" for thermodynamic cycles, lab equipment setups, or reaction intermediates — Chemistry AI generates diagrams.
How does Chemistry AI work?
- Input: Type a prompt, paste an equation, or upload a worksheet photo. 2. Choose mode: Select "Thinking" for a full walkthrough or "Just Answer" for a fast result. 3. Receive a structured solution: setup → formulas → substitutions → final answer, all with units and balanced equations. The tool estimates credit cost before execution.
Pricing
Chemistry AI operates on a freemium credit model. Free plan includes 7 credits per month (7 conversations) with Basic Mode only (no Guided Mode, no image upload). Paid tiers: Standard ($5.9/month or $9.9/month yearly) offers 500 credits/month with Guided Mode and image upload; Pro ($11.9/month or $19.9/month yearly) offers 1,500 credits/month, priority reply, and access to advanced models. Yearly plans save 40%.
FAQ
Is Chemistry AI free?
Yes, there is a free plan with 7 credits per month. Each credit allows one conversation in Basic Mode (no step-by-step or image upload).
Can Chemistry AI read handwritten notes?
Yes, upload a clear photo of handwritten work and Chemistry AI will attempt to interpret it. For best results, use good lighting and keep the page flat.
Does Chemistry AI explain steps or just give the answer?
Both. Choose "Thinking" for a detailed step-by-step explanation (givens → formulas → substitutions → unit checks), or "Just Answer" for only the final result.
How many credits does each request cost?
Credit cost varies by request type: text-only questions cost less than image uploads, and "Thinking" mode costs more than "Just Answer". The tool shows the cost before you submit.
What topics does Chemistry AI cover?
It covers stoichiometry, balancing equations, acids and bases, redox, thermodynamics, organic chemistry (mechanisms, stereochemistry, retrosynthesis), electrochemistry, periodic trends, and more — from high school basics to university level.
