A developer shared lessons learned from building a photo-based study app that uses LLMs to solve homework problems. Key takeaways include the importance of robust image preprocessing to extract structured context before prompt construction, implementing a routing step to identify problem types for more specific LLM reasoning, and designing LLM outputs that carefully show step-by-step reasoning rather than just the final answer. The developer also found that presenting curated multiple solution paths can aid learning, but requires careful interface design to avoid overwhelming users. AI
