Winny AI builds educational AI ready to help learners in the Republic of the Congo

Education priorities of the Republic of the Congo

Five selected themes from the 2021–⁠2030 Education Sector Strategy as set out in its initial 2021–⁠2023 Action Plan. These are planned priorities, not five new national goals or achieved 2026 results.

• Access and equity

  Guided practice can complement teaching. A local project would review learners’ needs and how the tutor fits educational work.

An AI tutor to support learning

Education research has long known the most effective way to learn: one-to-one work with a tutor. Until now, only a few could have it — AI opens it up to every learner.

98%

On average, a student with a personal tutor outperforms 98% of peers in a regular classroom.

Bloom B. S., The 2 Sigma Problem, Educational Researcher, 1984

1.5 years

Six weeks of sessions with an AI tutor raised results by about 0.3 standard deviations — roughly a year and a half of typical learning.

De Simone et al., World Bank, randomized study, Nigeria, 2025

Students with an AI tutor learned more than twice as much in less time than in active-learning classes.

Kestin et al., Harvard University, Scientific Reports, 2025

+1 pp

A gain of 0.5 standard deviations in learning outcomes is associated with about 1 percentage point faster long-run growth of GDP per capita each year.

Hanushek & Woessmann, OECD, 2010

These are independent studies of tutoring (by people and by AI) and of the economics of education. We propose to measure the impact of Winny AI Tutor together with the country — in a pilot with independent evaluation.

Flagship product of Winny AI

Winny AI Tutor — an international learning ecosystem

A personal AI tutor in a chat format for learners in primary and secondary education — across school subjects, foreign languages and popular hobbies — with connected accounts for parents, teachers and schools.

For the learner

• Leads to understanding

  No finished solutions: guiding questions and step-by-step hints.

• The country’s curriculum and textbooks

  A local setup in the Republic of the Congo would agree and validate curricula, textbooks, terminology and assessment requirements with education partners.

• Beyond lessons

  Answers difficult questions thoughtfully, in a way that suits the learner’s age, and handles sensitive topics with care.

• Encouragement

  Gently supports learners and helps ease stress and anxiety — for example, before exams.

Phone, tablet and computer — in the browser, nothing to install. Voice, photo and text.

Four roles. One ecosystem

• Learner

  A personal tutor around the clock, a learning path, goals and assignments.

  Try it

• Parent

  Their own account and chat: the child’s progress, strengths, gaps and talents.

  Try it

• Teacher

  An AI assistant, class analytics, assignments and groups. Free, with generous limits.

  Try it

• School and government

  Administration, aggregated insights across schools and the whole system, and deployment within the country.

  Request a presentation

Core features are free forever. Free for teachers, with generous limits.

For every question — the best-suited model and real pedagogy, not just an answer

Winny AI’s own technology: a model orchestrator, a pedagogical agent, a safety layer and long-term memory of each learner. The product does not depend on any single AI provider.

• Model orchestrator

  For each request it chooses the best-suited model, including national ones, and tunes its behaviour to the subject, language and task. A model can be replaced without rewriting the product.

• Pedagogical agent

  Plans every reply to lead the learner to understanding: guiding questions and step-by-step hints instead of a finished answer. It holds firm when a learner tries to coax out the answer, and this mode cannot be switched off.

• Safety layer

  Checks every answer for child safety and for correct references to learning materials.

• Learner’s digital twin

  A competency profile and long-term memory: Winny AI Tutor remembers years of learning — what the learner already understands, where the gaps are, what their talents are and which goal they are working toward.

• Ontological interdisciplinary graphs

  School subjects are connected in a single knowledge graph built from textbooks and approved curricula, so the tutor sees the links between topics across subjects.

• Bloom’s taxonomy

  Every topic is broken down into levels of mastery following Bloom’s taxonomy: learners climb the ladder of thinking instead of collecting ready answers.

Every update goes through a pedagogical quality loop: a test bench with synthetic AI learners and quality scales. The orchestrator and the educational ecosystem are registered as intellectual property.

Global technology. National character

Winny AI Tutor adapts to the country — not the other way around.

• Curriculum and assessments

  A local setup would agree curriculum references, textbooks and assessment requirements with education partners for primary and secondary learning and appropriate assessment practice.

• Language and culture

  Explanations and answers in French and English, among more than 90 supported languages. Local terminology and content need review with education partners. Tutor explanation language is separate from product interface language.

• Models

  National, regional and open-weight models can be selected and fine-tuned with the relevant permissions for the country’s educational content.

• Infrastructure

  The service and data can stay in the country, in a closed environment.

• Transparency

  A “glass box”, not a “black box”: regulators can check how answers are built and what they contain.

A possible path for learning support in the Republic of the Congo

Learners and schools in more than 80 countries already work with Winny AI Tutor. These are global users, not a claim of deployment in the Republic of the Congo. A local project agrees its scope, content and pace with the responsible education partners.

1. First learners and families

   Learners and parents can start with Winny AI Tutor today: core features are free forever. Teachers join free, with generous limits; training workshops for teachers.

   Try Winny AI Tutor

2. Pilot project

   A possible school project with agreed scope and independent impact evaluation by an academic partner; no existing pilot in the Republic of the Congo is claimed.

3. National setup

   Curriculum, assessment, language and deployment requirements would be agreed with local education partners and reviewed for the planned use.

4. Scaling to the whole country

   Expansion can be discussed after local evaluation, permissions and infrastructure requirements have been assessed.

From a school tutor to a lifelong mentor

We are developing an educational AI ecosystem for lifelong learning: from first words, school and career guidance to university, a profession and upskilling.

Career guidance that looks ahead

Every learner’s talents and an informed choice of career

The world and the job market are changing fast. Winny AI Tutor sees a learner’s strengths, interests and talents in every subject and helps them choose a direction. The next step is to take labor market trends, new technologies and future professions into account.

• Talents in every subject Working today

  The competency digital twin shows a learner’s strengths, gaps and inclinations in each subject.

• Career guidance Working today

  Recommendations on fields of study based on the learner’s strengths and interests — to support their own decision about the future.

• Atlas of future professions Developing with partners

  Together with experts and universities, we are developing an atlas of future professions so that career guidance reflects labor market trends and new technologies.

• Neuroprofiling Developing with partners

  We work with experts in neuroprofiling to prepare diagnostics of talents and inclinations, including with neural interfaces — voluntary and with parental consent.

For education authorities: early discovery of talents and insights into learners’ interests can support planning in vocational and higher education.
