Bring your own AI · live inside a TI-84 Plus

The calculator that thinks.

GhostCalc hides a full AI — your pick of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok or DeepSeek — invisibly inside your TI-84. Chat, solve, take notes, even read your screen. No computer. No cables. Nobody can tell.

Everything it can do

A whole AI, behind the same five buttons.

GhostCalc looks and feels exactly like the calculator you already know — until you ask it something.

Ask anything, right on the keypad

Type a question on the TI-84, send it over the built-in Wi-Fi bridge, and read a clean answer back on the LCD. Powered by your choice of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok or DeepSeek — set your model in the app, and smart routing keeps quick questions fast while hard ones get the deep model.

It can see your work

The 5MP Vision build adds an onboard camera that captures the calculator screen, your notes, or a diagram — so the AI answers your exact problem, with the full visual context.

  • Reads equations & handwriting
  • Context-aware, no retyping

Completely invisible inside

The ESP32-S3, firmware, power tap and link-port interface are built into the original TI-84 shell. From the outside it's the same calculator — same weight, same buttons, same look.

  • Zero external wires
  • AI-written TI-BASIC injected over the link port
  • Wireless OTA firmware updates

How it works

Three steps. No computer.

STEP 01

Ask

Type your question straight on the TI-84 keypad, or snap the screen with the camera on the 5MP Vision build.

STEP 02

Bridge

The hidden ESP32-S3 sends it over Wi-Fi to your chosen AI — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok or DeepSeek — and streams the reply back through the link port.

STEP 03

Answer

A clean, readable answer appears on the LCD — or a full program is injected, ready to run.

Real hardware

GhostCalc menu, running on the calculator itself.

This is the actual on-device menu customers use after the build is installed. No laptop window, no external display, no extra box — just the calculator screen.
