How to Use Matter

You have four ways to submit a physics or chemistry problem: type it directly (LaTeX supported), upload a photo from your gallery, take a picture with your camera, or draw diagrams and equations using the sketch tool.

Matter automatically detects the problem type — mechanics, thermodynamics, optics, electromagnetism, organic chemistry, stoichiometry, and more — and selects the best solving approach.

The drawing canvas lets you sketch circuits, force diagrams, molecular structures, or free-body diagrams. Draw with your finger on mobile or use a mouse on desktop.

When you click Solve, a timer starts. The solution is generated but hidden — giving you time to work through the problem yourself. This builds genuine understanding.

Click 'Reveal Next' to uncover each solution step at your own pace. Compare your approach with the AI's solution to identify gaps in your reasoning.

After viewing the solution, open the AI Tutor chat. Ask 'Why did we use Newton's second law here?' or 'What if the angle was different?' — the tutor adapts to your questions.

Every solved problem is saved. Export solutions as LaTeX for lab reports or as PDF for studying. Use Deep Solve mode for problems that need multi-step reasoning chains.
