      I used Wolfram Alpha a lot in college (adult learner, but that was about ~4 years ago that I graduated, so no idea if it’s still good). https://www.wolframalpha.com/

      I would say that Wolfram appears to probably be a much more versatile math tool, but I also never used chatgpt for that use case, so I could be wrong.

        How did you learn to talk to WolframAlpha?

        I want to like WA, but the natural language interface is so opaque that I usually give up before I can get any non-trivial calculation out of it.
