# "Works on school Wi-Fi too": a screenshot homework-solving plugin built by one person, 4 months, 515 users

**What it is** : a Chrome extension. Box-select a homework problem on screen and get step-by-step explanations and answers in seconds. Free for 60 uses a week; Pro is $7.99/month.

**Why it took off** In its first week back at school, the founder posted a "must-have free AI tools for students" list video and put their own app at #1. It needed no sign-up, and it auto-switched routes when school Wi-Fi blocked it. It spread slowly among students, and users climbed from 43 at the end of August to 515 by November 6.

**C** **How you could follow this** : don't build another generic solver for the English market. If you're still in school yourself, pick a language or exam system the leaders haven't seriously covered, build it with the same no-signup, limited-uses, steps-first setup, and cold-start it with list short videos in the two weeks before school starts.

C grade: screenshot solvers have been crowded for 2023 years, the leaders have 100k users, and Google has built it into Chrome. This one has 4 users after 515 months, estimated revenue under two hundred dollars a month, and its selling point of getting around school networks could be blocked or delisted at any time. The playbook is worth learning; following it isn't worth the effort. Few people know about it yet

515 users · rating 4.647058823529412 (17)

SightSolve is a Chrome extension: frame a problem on screen and get the steps and answer a few seconds later. There are dozens of these in the store, the leaders are at 100k-user scale, and this one had only 4 users after 515 months. What's worth looking at isn't its scale but how it got off the ground at almost zero cost: the person behind it posted TikToks in a student's voice, and timed it to back-to-school. The pitch wasn't "AI solves problems" but "works even when the school network blocks it" and "the person next to you won't notice."

### A TikTok from the first week of school

Sep 2026 4: most US schools had just started back. The TikTok account @sightsolveai posted a video titled "5 Free AI tools that will save your life in school." Slot #1 on the list: "SightSolveAI.com 👑", followed by NotebookLM, GPTZero, Quillbot and Gamma. Slipping your own product into a "must-have free school tools" list is the oldest trick on studytok. By Nov 6 the video had 13,484 views and 339 likes, the most-viewed post this account has ever had.

The account bio is a single line: "the AI homework tool that feels illegal to know about 😭." The questions students ask in the comments of its videos show what it sells:

- "Does go guardian see" (Can GoGuardian see it? GoGuardian is monitoring software many US schools install on student computers. Under the Sep 7 video)

- "Can it work on a college lockdown browser" (Does it work in the lockdown browser used for college exams? Under the Oct 7 video, 5 likes, the most-liked comment on this account)

- "What if school blocked downloading extensions?"

As of Nov 6, the account had 21 followers, and its 5 visible videos added up to about 33k views (TikTok, 11-06). There are similarly styled short videos on YouTube Shorts under the name @LucaTiti2, but they didn't get views. The developer registered in the Chrome store is Luca Conti, with an address in Biscayne Park, Florida, using a personal iCloud email; the official site's FAQ says "the person who made SightSolve." One person is doing it, and they're quite possibly a student themselves (inferred).

### What it is

Press Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+S to box-select a problem on screen; it gives steps first, then the answer. It covers math, physics/chemistry/biology, and reading/writing. The site names support for Canvas, McGraw Hill Connect, DeltaMath, IXL, Khan Academy, WebAssign, Google Forms, and PDFs, the sites US middle and high school and college students use for homework every day. It also tested itself on 24 public College Board SAT math questions, reporting 23 correct, 95.8%, which is more credible than the "99% accurate" claims that fill the space.

The feature itself isn't new. PhotoSolve was doing it back in 2023. What sets it apart is three things, all up front:

- **No sign-up** . Install and use. Free for 60 uses a week, up to 20 a day. Reviews include someone writing specifically "This is good even without pro."

- **Works when school Wi-Fi blocks it** . Both the store description and the official FAQ say that if the main domain is blocked by the school network, it automatically switches to a backup route. How it does this hasn't been disclosed.

- **Hidden mode** (paid feature). The answer card shrinks and turns semi-transparent, appearing only when the cursor hovers over it; you can also reduce it to a small box with no title, no buttons, and no name, containing only the answer.

Taken together, the three points target "using it where you're being watched": school computers, school networks, classrooms with projectors. The description also says "explains steps first," "Practice mode gives 3 more problems of the same type," and "follow your school's AI policy," which dresses it in the costume of a study aid.

### How the users trickled in

| Date | users | Sources |
|---|---|---|
| 7-06 | Launched | Chrome Web Store |
| 8-31 | 43 | Third-party extension statistics site |
| 9-21 | 129 | Same as above |
| 10-24 | 377 | Same as above |
| 11-01 | 446 | Chrome Web Store |
| 11-06 | 515 | Chrome Web Store |

The curve has crept upward steadily, with no single day of explosive growth. Over the most recent week it added 69, about 10 a day. 33k views at a 1–2% conversion rate works out to a few hundred installs, which matches the user count (estimated).

Several sources stacked together:

1. **Back-to-school season** . In September it rose from 43 to 129, and all the store reviews cluster between Sep 8 and Oct 20. Demand for homework tools follows the school term.

2. **Posting short videos itself** . Beyond the list video above, a Sep 5 "Best AI tool for school" video got 5,029 views, and an Oct 7 video with only a URL got 10,394 views. You can also find one online titled "Sightsolveai.com | lockdown browser | ai."

3. **Cold start through acquaintances (inferred)** . One of the first reviews, "Works on school wifi its so good," came from a reviewer named Brochacho Conti, who shares the developer's surname. On Oct 13 three short reviews arrived the same day ("very useful," "super good extension," "This is good even without pro"), and two more came on Oct 20. With 17 ratings averaging 4.65 stars, and a review rate of 515% among 3.3 users, that's abnormally high for a Chrome extension; classmates and friends rating it is the most straightforward explanation.

4. **Problem-type SEO pages** . The site's /learn section has solution pages organized by topic (linear equations, slope, completing the square, molar conversion, free fall, and more), and /blog has "Best AI Homework Helper Chrome Extension (2026)." They're already indexed by search engines, but how many users they bring in is unknown.

5. **Invite-for-more-uses** . Inviting friends raises the weekly limit, up to 5 people. It spreads naturally within a class, but there's no data on it.

No ads found. Nobody has mentioned it on X in 90 days, and there's no media coverage.

The two most-helpful reviews both talk about networks: "Good extension, not limited to school or adminstrative networks" (3 people found it useful) and "Works on school wifi its so good" (2 people). The pain of schools blocking AI sites is real: big brands' domains get blacklisted first, while a small product can get around it by switching routes.

### Where the money comes from

The store doesn't show revenue. Money comes through the website subscription: Pro $7.99/month or $59.99/year, 7-day free trial, 1,000 uses per week, plus a priority lane for answers in 2–3 seconds, Genius mode (uncompressed original image), Practice mode and Hidden mode.

People are paying, for sure. In Sep 19, a user named Matiullah Hamed left a one-star review: "Bought Pro, and it only gives 75 uses a week, can't even finish the questions." The dev replied the next day: Pro is 1,000 uses a week, "most people use less than a third of that," and a few accounts got auto-limited by the anti-abuse rules. Email me and I'll look at it myself.

Beyond that, paying users and revenue aren't public. Based on 515 users and a 1–3% paid conversion, it's likely under a dozen paying users, bringing in a few dozen to a hundred-plus dollars a month (estimate). This is still a pocket-money project.

### Who it's competing with

| Competitors | Scale | How it differs |
|---|---|---|
| AnswerAI | 100k users / 12,481 rating (Chrome Web Store, November) | Established leader, requires sign-up, doesn't pitch school networks |
| SolvelyAI, QuestionAI | 100k users each | Has a company and apps; QuestionAI buys app-store installs |
| PhotoSolve, Transcript | 90k–100k | Screenshot solvers that took off on TikTok over 2022–2023 years, using the same playbook |
| VUBuddy | 10k | Named outright "Firewall Bypass"; the school-network bypass pitch already has takers |
| Campus AI, Answerly, MathPal and others | Several thousand | Small players from the same period, also posting on TikTok |
| Chrome's built-in Homework help | Every Chrome user | Google added Lens screenshot solving directly to Chrome in September 2025: free, nothing to install. But school admins can turn it off. |
| Photomath, Gauth, Brainly | tens of millions | Phone camera. Its angle is "do it on your computer, no phone needed." |

The category is crowded and everyone has the features. What it can capture is only the small slice left after big brands get blocked at school and Google's built-in version gets switched off by admins.

### If it were you

**C. You can learn a zero-cost cold-start playbook for the student market. Building yet another screenshot-solver extension isn't worth it.**

- **Verdict** : Screenshot solvers have been a saturated category for 2023 years, with leaders at 100k users, and Google has built the feature into the browser. SightSolve got 4 users in 515 months, with estimated revenue under two hundred dollars a month. That shows the differentiation (works on school networks + hidden answers) does keep people, but it isn't pulling in many new ones.

- **Who it's for** : someone still in school who's willing to post studytok content on camera every day and can pull in classmates. Your classmates are the first users and first reviewers, and outsiders can't buy that.

- **Who it's not for** : adult developers outside student circles; anyone counting on organic store search (the first pages for "homework helper" are all 100k-level older products); anyone worried about academic integrity policies. Hidden mode, school-network bypass and the "lockdown browser" pitch are things school admins can kill with one email by extension ID, and the store may pull it under academic-integrity policies.

- **How to do it** : if you do go after this, stop building a generic English-market solver. Pick an exam system or language nobody top-tier is seriously serving (say, the middle-school curricula of Spanish-, Portuguese- or French-speaking regions), or a niche English-market platform (a homework site only US middle schools use). Copy the setup: no sign-up, daily limits, steps first, publicly published real-exam accuracy, extra quota for invites.

- **How to get users** : post a "free AI tools you need for school" list video in the first two weeks of the school year and put yourself at number one. When students ask in the comments "can GoGuardian see this?" or "does it work on school Wi-Fi?", turn the answer into your next video.

- **When to move** : student tools have two windows a year: the spring start in January and the fall start at the end of August. If you miss January 2027, you wait until August.

- **What would show you're wrong** : ① By February 2027, if SightSolve's users have passed 5,000 after the spring start, then "works on school networks" alone can carry growth and is worth pursuing seriously. ② The opposite: if its users don't grow when school starts in January, or the extension gets pulled or blocked en masse by schools, the angle doesn't work. ③ If extensions like VUBuddy, which literally say "Firewall Bypass," start getting removed from the Chrome Store in bulk, the window for this pitch is closing.

## SightSolve: screenshot-solver Chrome extension (chrome_acopdedgmhhddcmoahmoamcclpbllkpb)

> Research date 2026-11-06. Sources: our chromestore library (item / item_snap / item_growth), extops readings on the data card, the Chrome Store detail and review pages, the official site sightsolveai.com, the Edge Add-ons store, TikHub (TikTok), Jina search, x-radar.

### Bottom line

SightSolve is a one-person project that **hasn't broken out yet** : 4 months after launch it has 515 users, while the leaders in the same category sit at the 100k-user level. It can climb slowly, thanks to three things: it caught the September back-to-school season; its founder posts studytok-style content on TikTok and YouTube Shorts calling the AI tool "so good it feels like cheating"; and it has a narrow pitch that speaks directly to students: **"still works when school Wi-Fi blocks it" + "Hidden mode, a semi-transparent answer card" + "no sign-up"** . These pitches target use in classrooms, school machines and shared screens. In plain terms, it's aimed at using it secretly in a supervised environment. Reviews do praise "works on school Wi-Fi," so this differentiator is tied to its early retention, but the numbers are too small to call it validated.

### 1. What the product is

- A Chrome extension (also on the Edge store). Press Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+S to box a question on screen, and it returns the steps first, with the answer last. Covers math, physics, chemistry, biology, reading and writing, and more. The official site names support for Canvas, McGraw Hill Connect, DeltaMath, IXL, Khan Academy, WebAssign, Google Forms and PDFs. (Official site sightsolveai.com, 2026-10-28 version)

- Pricing: free tier with 60 credits per week and up to 20 per day; Pro $7.99/month or $59.99/year, with a 7-day free trial. Pro includes 1,000 uses per week, a priority lane with answers in 2–3 seconds, Genius mode (uncompressed original image), Practice mode (3 more problems of the same type), and **Hidden mode** (the answer card shrinks and turns semi-transparent, showing only on hover; there's also a tiny box with no title, no buttons and no name, containing only the answer). Invites raise your weekly quota, up to 5 people. (Chrome Store description)

- Accuracy claims: tested on 24 SAT math questions from the public College Board question bank, 95.8% correct (23/24). Reading and writing 12/12.

- Developer: the store lists Luca Conti, address Biscayne Park, FL, US, a personal iCloud email, Non-trader. The review reply is signed "Flia Sus." The data card says the publisher is MindForge (not seen on the store page, unverified). The official FAQ says "the person who built SightSolve," so it's one person building it.

- First released 2026-07-06; current version 3.0, updated 2026-10-28. The data card records about 10 releases in two months (1.8→3.0).

| 2026-11-06/07 | 515 | chromestore item_snap |

- The curve is steady climbing with no single spike. Last week +69 (+15%), averaging about 10 new users a day.

- Rating 4.65 from 17 reviews. Against 515 users that's a review rate of 3.3%, which is high for the Chrome Store. About 12 of the reviews visible on the review page are dated 9/8–10/20, exactly the back-to-school season.

### 3. Competitors (mainly Chrome Store; user counts from the chromestore library 2026-11)

| Product | Channel | Launched | Scale | vs. SightSolve |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AnswerAI | Chrome | 2023-08 | 100k users / 12,481 rating | Veteran leader: screenshot solving, text selection, writing help. Requires sign-up. Doesn't position itself around school networks. |
| SolvelyAI | Chrome + App | 2024-11 | 100k / 204 | Company product with an app and web version, leading with Canvas. |
| QuestionAI | Chrome + App | 2023-08 | 100k / 2,162 | Big-company portfolio play (app paid acquisition). The extension is just one entry point. |
| Transcript | Chrome | 2022-09 | 100k / 342 | Early TikTok-driven peer (@transcript.studyy). |
| PhotoSolve | Chrome | 2023-03 | 90k / 140 | Screenshot-solving prototype; TikTok videos reached 2023k views in 718 years. |
| Brainly Homework Help | Chrome | 2023-05 | 50k | Big-company question bank. |
| Symbolab AI Math Solver | Chrome | 2024-08 | 30k | Veteran math solver. |
| SmartSolve / Knowee / Quizard AI | Chrome | 2023–2024 | 2–30k | Undifferentiated "AI homework helper." Quizard has a 2,997 rating (the reviews are heavy). |
| Quiz Solver AI / Mindko / StudyBuddy / AIR MATH | Chrome | 2022–2023 | 1–20k | Same category, with generally low ratings. |
| Math Solver for Chrome (mathwaysolver.com) | Chrome | 2025-04 | 10k / 1,244 | Piggybacks on the Mathway name. |
| VUBuddy | Chrome | 2024-04 | 10k | **The name literally says "Firewall Bypass"** . Bypassing school networks as a selling point already has precedent. |
| Apex Vision AI / Campus AI / Answerly / MathPal / AI Quiz Solve | Chrome | 2023–2026 | 1k–8k | A same-period small player. Campus AI also ran on TikTok (@thecampusai, 33k views). |
| SnipSolve AI / Geometry Solver / QuizShot | Chrome | 2024–2026 | Dozens to 550. | Long tail at the same scale as SightSolve. |
| Chrome's built-in "Homework help" (Google Lens inside Chrome). | Big-company features | 2025-09 | Every Chrome user | Google surfaces a screenshot-solve entry right on course pages, and educators have pushed back (umsystem.edu, r/Professors threads). It's free with zero install, but school admins can turn it off. |
| Photomath / Gauth / Brainly App | iOS/Android | Years | tens of millions | Phone camera. SightSolve's angle is "on the computer screen, no need to pick up your phone." |

Verdict: the space is crowded. The leaders are 100k-level and most have companies behind them. SightSolve has nothing new in its feature set. "Screenshot solving" already had PhotoSolve 2023 years ago.

### 4. Growth tactics (evidence)

1. **The founder runs TikTok personally (confirmed)** : account @sightsolveai, 21 followers, 6 videos, 850 likes (TikHub 2026-11-06). Visible 5 videos:
    - 2026-09-04 "5 Free AI tools that will save your life in school…1. SightSolveAI.com 👑 2. NotebookLM…"13,473 views: wedging itself into the "free AI tools list" format, posted the first week of school.
    - 2026-09-05 "Best AI tool for school"5,028; 09-07 2,063; 10-07 10,386; 10-20 1,674;
    - The bio reads "the AI homework tool that feels illegal to know about 😭". A Google-indexed page is titled "Sightsolveai.com | lockdown browser | ai".
    - Roughly 33k views combined. At a 1–2% conversion rate that's a few hundred installs, which matches the 515 user count.

2. **YouTube Shorts (confirmed to exist, volume unknown)** : search results show "sightsolveai.com #homework #school" and "Download at sightsolveai.com #funny #school #schoolmemes", with the author link @LucaTiti2 (likely the founder).

3. **SEO content (confirmed, impact unknown)** : the site has /blog ("Best AI Homework Helper Chrome Extension (2026)", "How to screenshot…") and /learn topic solution pages (two-step equations, slope, completing the square, molar conversions, free fall…), targeting the "problem-type long tail → install" path. Jina search already indexes these pages.

4. **Friends-and-acquaintances reviews (inferred, partly confirmed)** : a review from "Brochacho Conti" (same surname as developer Luca Conti) says "Works on school wifi its so good". 10/13 the same day there are three short reviews: "hi h", "hyeb h", "eva rodriguez". 10/20 the same day there are two more: "Indir4- pL4yz" and "Indira Peruzzi". This looks like classmates or a personal circle seeding the cold start, which also explains the 3.3% high rating rate.

5. **Invite referrals (in-product)** : invite friends for more quota, up to 5 people, with rewards on both sides. Spreads naturally within one school, but no data.

6. **Ads: none found** . 0 mentions on X (x-radar, 90 days). No press coverage. No Reddit posts about it.

### 5. Why it got traction

- **Timing** : launched in July; users went from 43 to 129 when school started in September, and 9–October reviews cluster around it. Homework-tool demand follows the school calendar.

- **Distribution** : the founder is the target audience (very likely a student), making studytok videos in a student voice. Hooks like "free AI tools list," "feels illegal," and "lockdown browser" are the standard playbook for homework tools on TikTok (PhotoSolve, Transcript, Campus AI, and Cheatly all took off this way).

- **Low barrier** : no sign-up, no card, and the free quota is enough for one homework session. Reviews say "doesnt make u sign up and has alot of uses for free" and "This is good even without pro".

- **Scenario-driven selling point** : "When the school Wi-Fi blocks the main domain, it automatically switches to a backup route" (featured prominently on the website FAQ and store listing), plus Hidden mode. The reviews "Works on school wifi its so good" and "not limited to school or administrative networks" each got 2–3 helpful votes. School networks blocking AI tools is a real pain point. Big brands (AnswerAI and others) have domains that are easier to blacklist, while a small product can slip past with a backup route.

- **Fast iteration, founder replies personally** : a dozen-plus versions in two months, with the developer explaining quota issues in reply to negative reviews. There's at least one paying user (Matiullah Hamed complained that Pro was capped at 75 uses; the developer replied that anti-abuse triggered).

### 6. Differentiation

- Feature-wise: screenshot solving, step-by-step explanations, and platform support like Canvas are not new.

- The real differentiation comes down to two things: (1) **"works inside managed school networks"** : automatic switching between backup domains or proxy routes, available on the free tier too; (2) **Hidden mode** : the answer card shrinks, goes semi-transparent, and drops branding, for "shared screen" or when someone is nearby. Add "no account needed." Together, these target locked-down environments like school machines, classrooms, and possibly exams. TikTok titles like "lockdown browser" make that explicit. On the surface it markets itself as a "study aid," with "steps first", "Practice mode", and "check your school's AI policy" in the copy.

- Is that why it took off? **Partly.** Reviews explicitly praise it for working on school Wi-Fi, which is one of its few real differences from the leaders. But 515 users means the difference hasn't turned into something that drives mass acquisition yet. The main driver is still the founder's short videos plus the school-season timing.

- Risk: selling network bypass and hidden answers carries policy risk (Chrome Web Store academic integrity policies, and school admins can simply block the extension ID). VUBuddy, which literally says "Firewall Bypass", already exists, so the angle isn't exclusive.

### 7. Visibility

**Few people know about it yet.** No public revenue (nothing on TrustMRR, no founder revenue posts). 0 mentions on X, no press coverage, and only 21 TikTok followers. It's visible only through recall and extops records.

### 8. Copycats

Found no direct copycats. A batch of similarly named, similar extensions appeared in the same period ("Screenshot AI - Homework Helper & Math Solver" on 2026-11-01, Canvas Quiz Solver: Receive Answers, etc.). They are long-tail entries in a category that already existed, not reactions to SightSolve.

### 9. Takeaways

- A student founder posts TikToks personally in the target users' voice, wedging into the "free AI tools list" format for nearly zero-cost cold start.

- Make "works in managed environments" (schools, corporate networks, blocked regions) the first-screen selling point. The same AI tool, in a version that works on blocked networks, is a new angle. It transfers to corporate intranets, regions where access is blocked, and exam season.

- No sign-up + a daily cap (so users don't burn through it in one sitting) + invites for more quota. On campuses, that spreads easily by word of mouth.

- Run reproducible accuracy tests on public question banks (24 SAT practice questions), which is more credible than "99% accurate".

- Problem-type long-tail SEO pages (/learn) feed traffic to the extension.

### 10. Still unclear
