What is Winny AI Tutor?
A personal AI tutor in a chat format for learners from the first year of school to the Matura: all school subjects and exam preparation. Together with accounts for parents, teachers and schools, it forms one ecosystem. Learners and schools in 80+ countries use it.
Which subjects does Winny AI Tutor cover?
All school subjects from the first year of school to the Matura — including mathematics, German, French and Italian, physics, chemistry, biology, history, geography, computer science and English — plus preparation for the Matura examinations and cantonal examinations. Winny AI Tutor knows every other subject of the curriculum just as well. Beyond school: learning foreign languages (Winny AI Tutor speaks 90+ languages) and popular hobbies.
How is Winny AI Tutor different from general-purpose AI assistants?
General-purpose assistants give a finished answer by default. Winny AI Tutor guides the learner to the solution with guiding questions and step-by-step hints, follows the curriculum, adapts to the learner’s age and shows progress to teachers and parents.
Why do people call Winny AI Tutor the best AI tutor?
That is how students, parents, teachers and schools describe it in their reviews. Winny AI Tutor does not solve tasks for the student but leads them to understanding, follows the curriculum in the learner’s language, and shows progress to teachers and parents. Users worldwide rate 80%+ of answers 4–5 out of 5, and some users stay with the product for 1.5+ years. Try Winny AI Tutor in Switzerland at ch.winnytutor.com.
Does Winny AI Tutor follow Lehrplan 21, the PER and the Piano di studio?
Winny AI Tutor builds its answers on the curriculum and teaching materials: knowledge of school subjects is linked into one graph built from approved curricula. For Switzerland, this means setup for the curricula of the three language regions — Lehrplan 21 in the German-speaking and multilingual cantons, the Plan d’études romand (PER) in French-speaking Switzerland and the Piano di studio in Ticino — which are oriented towards the EDK’s national education goals (basic competences).
Does Winny AI Tutor help prepare for the Matura?
Preparation for exams has been part of the product since 2024; the formats of the Matura examinations and of cantonal examinations are part of the setup for Switzerland. Winny AI Tutor is not used during the exam itself — only to prepare for it.
Does Winny AI Tutor work in German, French and Italian?
Winny AI Tutor works in more than 90 languages, and we fine-tune models for the country’s languages. Working in German, French and Italian, with the school terminology of each language region, is part of the setup for Switzerland, together with the curricula and examinations.
Where is learner data stored?
Winny AI Tutor is deployed to the requirements of the canton: in a closed environment on its own hardware or in a trusted cloud of the chosen provider. Learner data can stay in Switzerland.
Is Winny AI ready for the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection?
Yes. Winny AI Tutor is ready to operate under the revised Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP-ready) and the cantonal data protection laws that apply to public schools: deployment within Switzerland, with learner data staying in the country, no advertising and no sale of data. We do not infer learners’ emotions from voice or faces. In every country we undergo, or are ready to undergo, review under its data protection law — for example, GDPR in the European Union, the Data Privacy Act in the Philippines, the PDPL in Saudi Arabia.
Will AI replace teachers?
No. AI makes recommendations, and the teacher gives the grade. Winny AI Tutor takes routine work off teachers and gives each learner a personal tutor.
Is Winny AI Tutor safe for children?
Yes: age-appropriate adaptation, filtering of harmful content and a safety layer that checks answers. No advertising and no sale of data. Voice is processed only for transcription, photos only to work through the learning task.
How does Winny AI Tutor help with career guidance?
From the learner’s own learning, the competency digital twin shows their strengths, interests and talents in every subject, and Winny AI Tutor recommends paths and fields of study — as input for the learner’s and family’s decision. Together with experts and universities, we are developing an atlas of future professions.
Is neuroprofiling required? Does Winny AI Tutor recognize learners’ emotions?
It is not required. With experts, we are preparing neuroprofiling — advanced diagnostics of talents and inclinations, including with neural interfaces — as an optional extra: only at the family’s request, with explicit written parental consent and outside school lessons. Winny AI Tutor works fully without it. We do not infer learners’ emotions from biometric data — voice, face or body signals: we process voice only for transcription and photos only to work through the learning task.
Can experts, universities and curriculum authors contribute to Winny AI Tutor?
Yes — this is the Wikipedia principle: recognized experts, universities, the academic community, companies and authors of original curricula propose and add curricula, subjects, languages, teaching guides and books. Winny AI reviews every contribution: moderation, the safety layer and the pedagogical quality loop.
Can Winny AI technology be built into an existing platform?
Yes, there is a separate product for this — Winny Cloud. It builds Winny AI technology into school administration systems, learning management systems and partner services, and runs on geo-distributed hybrid computing infrastructure secured for working with personal data.
How does Winny AI work with each country?
Each partner country gets a dedicated team. It works together with local partners from that country to respect its culture, traditions, languages and way of life. Curricula, languages and models are set up for the country.
Has Winny AI received international recognition?
Winny AI is a nominee for the 2026 UNESCO King Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa Prize for the Use of ICTs in Education.
What is Winny AI working on next?
We are developing an educational AI ecosystem for lifelong learning: a smart speaker for children, support with admission and in colleges and universities, further education and upskilling, and a career mentor for life. We are developing these with partners; the school tutor works today.
How much does Winny AI Tutor cost?
Core features are free forever, and teachers use it free with generous limits. Terms for schools, municipalities and cantons are discussed with a Winny AI representative.
