There is, for sure, a small learning curve, but for professionals that do lots of calculations day to day, it can save
time for them, specially with variables and reusing a previous result. This can then act like a simple spreadsheet, where you can play with numbers and see the results updating on the entire page.
Another advantage of Hissab over traditional calculators or even google search is the ability to see all your expressions at the same time as compared to alternatives where you can only do one line of calculations at a time and results disappear when performing another calculations. Hissab is launched recently. Soon, I will be introducing the ability to calculate complex number, solve equations, calculus, probabilities, compound units etc on the Math side. also lot more calculations for computer science like IP address calculations, various hash algorithms calculators and many other features. This will eventually become the all in one calculator to calculate anything.
Again, small learning curve, but beyond that it can save a lot of time for professionals and students. Generative AI is quite bad a doing math and I would not believe the results it "guesses". Mathematica and wolfram are in a different pricing tier, so hissab is like a poor man's mathematica. |

Generally speaking, it's true. AI is quite bad at arithmetic. But as AI started learning to use tools things can be different. Haven't really looked into this but I think ChatGPT with WolframAlpha plugin (https://www.wolfram.com/wolfram-plugin-chatgpt/) can be helpful.
People won't use generative models when they already have a clear plan about what they're about to calculate - they'll use a calculator. When employing generative models, we're more like asking the AI for some insights on "how to compute" or "what to compute". Automatically performing these calculations and obtaining the result is more like a bonus.

Agreed. Looking forward to exciting features!
