Real outcomes
It's not the bug. It's grades.
CS students don't fail problem sets because they can't code , they fail because the recursion base case was wrong, the invariant didn't hold, or the dynamic programming table got off-by-one. AskSia catches what TAs catch.
3.2->3.8+0.6
For 6.006 I dropped my whole textbook into AskSia and asked for visual maps of every algorithm. The graph view finally made dynamic programming click for me.
3.0->3.7+0.7
The Mock Exam mode generated CS exam questions with auto graded code review. Pointed out that my recursive solution had no base case before I submitted on the real midterm.

OpenCS multi-PDF Q&A
Drop CLRS, SICP, Skiena, your lecture slides, and 80 papers. Ask 'why does Dijkstra fail on negative edges' and AskSia answers with page-cited proof.
OpenCode reviewer for problem sets
Reads your Python, Java, C, C++, Scheme, or OCaml. Flags off-by-ones, broken invariants, and missed edge cases. Suggests fixes without rewriting your code for you.
OpenYouTube to CS notes
Paste any Coursera, MIT OCW, or Tushar Roy URL. AskSia transcribes, chapterizes, and pulls the worked algorithm walkthroughs into a clean note.
OpenCS Mock Exam mode
Adaptive practice for technical interviews, finals, and competitive programming. Auto-graded explanations match Berkeley, MIT, CMU exam patterns.
OpenSia Note for CS lectures
Turns a 4-hour lecture on graph algorithms into one note: key theorem, proof sketch, worked example, complexity analysis, common pitfall.
OpenCS write-up & report writer
Drafts your project report, algorithm analysis, or systems writeup in the format your professor grades against. Citations to primary CS literature where it matters.
OpenCS flashcards · FSRS
Auto-built decks: data structure operations, complexity classes, design patterns, OS primitives. FSRS spacing tuned to your exam.
OpenCS concept map
The whole curriculum as a navigable tree from intro CS through OS and compilers. Each node linked to its textbook page and lecture timestamp.
OpenAI tutor for CS
Voice-first or text. Walk through a recursion trace, drill recurrence relations, or explain why your DP doesn't quite memoize the right state.

FAQ
Frequently asked
questions.
Can AskSia review my CS61A, 6.006, or 15-122 code?
Yes. AskSia reads your Python, Java, C, C++, Scheme, OCaml, or Rust line by line. It flags off-by-one errors, broken loop invariants, missed edge cases, and the recursive base case that doesn't terminate. It explains the fix instead of rewriting your code, which keeps you off academic-integrity radar at Berkeley, MIT, CMU, and Stanford.
Does AskSia handle algorithm complexity analysis correctly?
Yes. AskSia derives Big-O, Big-Theta, and Big-Omega from the actual code (not from the algorithm name), handles recurrence relations using the Master Theorem and substitution method, and walks amortized analysis the way CLRS Chapter 17 expects. Strong on Berkeley CS170, MIT 6.046, and CMU 15-451 problem sets.
Will AskSia help me with technical interview prep?
Yes. AskSia drills LeetCode-style problems across arrays, trees, graphs, DP, and system design. Mock Exam mode runs you in the 45-minute window real interviews use. Strong on FAANG and quant interview patterns (Google, Meta, Amazon, Two Sigma, Jane Street).
Can AskSia handle CS theory proofs?
Yes. AskSia walks induction proofs, reduction arguments for NP-hardness, pumping lemma applications, and Cook-Levin style reductions in the structure your professor wants. Strong on CS170, 6.045, and discrete math proof writing across MIT, Berkeley, and CMU.
Is AskSia free for computer science students?
Yes, AskSia is free for computer science students to start, no credit card required. Free includes daily generation across all tools, unlimited library access, and the browser extension. AskSia Pro and Super unlock unlimited generation, full Mock Exam mode, free-response auto-grading at scale, priority models, and unlimited transcription minutes.
Which platforms does AskSia run on?
Four surfaces, all syncing in real time: (1) Web app at asksia.ai, (2) iOS and Android mobile apps, (3) Browser extension for Chrome, Edge, Brave, and other Chromium browsers, which adds Sync to AskSia on Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, Moodle, and Everytime, (4) Native desktop agent for macOS and Windows.
Does AskSia work for systems and OS courses?
Yes. AskSia walks pthread synchronization, virtual memory paging, file system internals, and TCP/IP state machines in the conventions used by CS162 (Berkeley), 6.S081 (MIT), and 15-410 (CMU). Handles the page-table walks and the deadlock-avoidance reasoning that those courses love to test.
Can AskSia explain ML/AI papers I'm reading for a class?
Yes. Upload the paper PDF and AskSia walks the architecture, derives the loss function, explains the math behind the result, and ties it back to prior work with proper citations. Strong on Stanford CS231N, CS224N, CMU 11-785, and Berkeley CS189 reading lists.
Does using AskSia on CS problem sets count as cheating?
Depends on your course's policy, but generally AskSia is treated like Stack Overflow plus a TA, fine for understanding, not for direct paste. The AI detector lets you check your project writeups read as your own work. Berkeley CS61B, MIT 6.006, and CMU 15-122 explicitly allow learning aids; they prohibit code copying. Check your syllabus.
