Maths Angel remembers what your child can and can’t do yet. Every skill they repair and practise lands on a skills profile you can watch grow. ChatGPT keeps no structured record of their maths skills.
Maths Angel is built for one job. If your child writes 5² + 12² = 10 + 24, ChatCat tells them “you doubled 5 and 12 instead of squaring them”, then plays them the lesson on square numbers, not Pythagoras.
A map of 500+ connected skills picks that lesson: the skill your child is actually missing, taught in 3–4 animated minutes with practice after, and logged on their skills profile.
OpenAI’s general-purpose assistant. It talks your child through a question in any subject, at any hour, and its Study Mode asks questions and gives hints instead of leading with the answer. However, it keeps no structured record of which maths skills your child has mastered.

ChatGPT answers the question. Maths Angel teaches the child. ChatCat spots the exact mistake in their working, stays on maths and child-safe, and backs every chat with expert-crafted lessons and real past papers. These are things a general chatbot was never built to do.
