Partial The notebook UI is buildable, but reliably recognizing handwritten math from PDFs and checking each step for correctness is a hard technical problem.
What it would actually take: A real version would combine a vision model or handwriting OCR for step extraction with a computer algebra system (e.g., SymPy) to verify each algebraic transformation. Pedagogically useful hints that avoid giving away answers need careful prompt and evaluation work. Expertise in math education, OCR/math-recognition, and evaluation of tutoring quality is needed to get accuracy good enough to trust.
