Hi HN,This is ProofTree, and in TLDR: it is a platform where you can chat with an AI to do math, the way you already do, with context-awareness and knows how you personally do math, connected to the fora of other live human mathematicians. So, when you are talking to an AI about a proof at 3 am, and you need a human expert looking at it, or a discussion around it, like you do on StackExchange, this is it!You need an approved email account to use it, so please write here if you would live to try it out.

Could you build this?
Partial A web chat UI with LaTeX rendering is easy to vibe-code, but reliable mathematical proof verification, formal math reasoning, and forum integration require specialized knowledge.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires integrating an LLM with formal proof assistants (such as Lean 4, Coq, or Isabelle) or specialized neuro-symbolic math solvers to avoid hallucinations in formal reasoning. The backend must handle high-context mathematical graphs (ProofTrees), user history embeddings, and asynchronous community collaboration feeds.
