Turing

What Turing does

Turing (튜링, Turing Co., Ltd.) is a Seoul-based AI company founded in 2018 that builds AI-native technology for STEM education. Its core consumer product, Math King (수학대왕), is a K-12 math learning app combining AI-driven personalization with handwriting recognition, having reached over 1.5 million cumulative users, 20 million problem-solving sessions, and the #1 Math Education App ranking on Google Play and Apple App Store in Korea (2022). The companion Math King CLASS platform extends the technology to teachers and schools with automated grading, AI-generated problem sets, and student progress tracking, supported by a Research Team of 80 teachers across 11 regions and an MOU with the National Future Education Research Association for public-school deployment.

In August 2025, Turing launched GPAI (gpai.app), an all-in-one AI STEM Agent that extends the company's proprietary reasoning, precision, and visualization technologies beyond K-12 math to advanced STEM learning and research, reaching 200K MAU and $300K ARR within months of launch. Turing monetizes through consumer freemium subscriptions, monthly institutional subscriptions for CLASS, GPAI's global subscription product, and a newer data-licensing stream supplying 300,000+ curated math questions to Korea's Indigenous AI Foundation Model Project (Dokpamo) and other major AI companies. With over $13M raised across Pre-A and Series A rounds, a San Francisco office in addition to Seoul headquarters, and stated projection of $5M ARR by end of 2026, Turing is scaling a multi-product, multi-segment AI platform that spans Korean K-12 education and a global STEM-research audience.

Core offering

Turing builds AI-powered software platforms for STEM learning. Its Math King (수학대왕) consumer app delivers AI-driven personalization with handwriting recognition for K-12 math students in Korea, while Math King CLASS provides teachers and schools with AI-assisted assignment creation, automated grading, and student progress tracking. GPAI, launched in August 2025, is an all-in-one AI STEM agent that delivers accurate solutions and visualizations across STEM disciplines to global students, researchers, and professionals.

Product overview

Turing develops an AI-native platform for STEM education spanning from K-12 to research. The product portfolio centers on Math King (수학대왕), Korea's first AI-powered personalized math learning app with handwriting recognition, which powers Math King CLASS (수학대왕 CLASS) — a companion teacher management platform enabling AI-driven homework creation, student progress tracking, and automated corrective clinics. In August 2025, Turing launched GPAI as an all-in-one AI STEM Agent extending beyond math to all STEM disciplines, targeting global users in the US, India, and EU. The company also supplies its proprietary math training data (300,000+ questions from Math King and GPAI) to enterprise and AI development clients.
