<p>Just few days ago I prompted a simple calculation problem to gemini 2.5 pro — the SOTA LLM which they advertise as proficient in Math &amp; Reasoning. As to no one’s surprise it gave the wrong answer even with thinking hard about it. I guess these set of numbers were not in its training dataset.</p>
<p>This is not just a simple error but in fact quite dangerous as the answer looks correct. Thus if you are using this result to make a big decision, you are going to get screwed.</p>
<p>Therefore I build <a target="_blank" href="https://hissab.io/">Hissab</a> — A Natural language calculator app that <em>actually</em> performs your calculations in your problem statement, rather than just guessing the answer.</p>

<p>This is what Hissab Answered to the same prompt as before -</p>
<p><img src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*g40JLYZF2tfq8qcU2PRqXg.png" alt="Hissab doing the same calculations correctly" /></p>
<p>As you can see Hissab was able to perform this calculations with accurate answer, while Gemini Pro 2.5 just guessed some answer that looks plausible.</p>
<p><img src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*eTMNyjV-hp71RTWJO1uYHg.png" alt="Hissab does not use Actual Indians to perform calculations" /></p>
<p>Hissab even without any AI, is a versatile “type &amp; calculate” calculator app for a wide range of math operations, unit conversions calendar math etc. But with AI, you can simply enter your questions/problems in natural language and Hissab will figure out what operations to perform before giving a natural response.</p>
<p>Other than the App that anyone can just start using, I also provide APIs that you can use to get accurate math in your own productivity apps or use Hissab as a tool for LLMs to perform the calculations like a external tool.</p>
<p>Check out hissab here — <a target="_blank" href="https://hissab.io/">https://hissab.io</a></p>
<p>Use the App for free, without signup — <a target="_blank" href="https://app.hissab.io/">https://app.hissab.io</a></p>
