Problem Forge
A tool for math instructors and TAs that generates fresh practice problems at any difficulty level, with worked solutions and rubric-ready grading — saving hours of question-writing each week.
math instructors, graduate TAs, and homeschool parents who need a steady supply of fresh practice problems and variations
- Topic + difficulty selector (e.g., "intro group theory, medium") returns a fresh problem
- Multiple variants per request so students cannot copy from each other
- Auto-generated rubric and worked solution for grader use
- Export to LaTeX, Canvas, or printable PDF for problem sets
the same Tao paper highlights that AI-generated problems are now viable — but instructors still don't have a purpose-built tool that's better than ad-hoc ChatGPT prompts
instructors spend hours weekly writing variations; the same HN-engaged math audience would adopt quickly
Quizlet and textbook question banks are static; no tool turns a topic and difficulty into a fresh problem
per-seat or per-department institutional pricing; hobbyist $10/mo tier
problem-generation need is permanent across every math course and grade level
LLM problem generation with LaTeX export is buildable; rubric generation is a known pattern
