Winny AI builds educational AI ready to support learners in Cyprus

Five selected priorities for a proposed education pilot

These themes draw on five of the twelve priorities in the Ministry of Education, Sport and Youth Strategic Plan 2025–⁠2027. They describe possible areas of support, not achieved results or coverage of the whole plan.

• Learning progress

  A pilot can agree learning goals and guided practice, with progress evaluated locally; no measured national Winny effect is claimed.

Personal tutoring, with the potential to reach more learners

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 for school learning, foreign languages and hobbies, connected with accounts for parents, teachers and schools. Cyprus-specific curricula, content and assessment requirements need local validation.

For the learner

• Leads to understanding

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

• Curricula and textbooks subject to local validation

  Curriculum materials and textbooks can inform the knowledge graph. Their use, educational fit and assessment requirements in Cyprus must be validated with the relevant educators and rights holders.

• 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

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 behavior 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

Country adaptation is proposed and must be agreed and validated locally.

• Curricula and assessment

  Proposed adaptation for primary school, Gymnasium and Lyceum curricula and textbooks. Content, permissions and assessment requirements require local validation; no official exam alignment is claimed.

• Language and culture

  AI explanations in Greek, Turkish and English. The global 90+ explanation-language figure does not certify every school language or a product interface in those languages; the wider language and accessibility plan remains open.

• Model selection

  Models are selected and tested for the intended language, learning task and deployment requirements; no Cyprus-specific model is claimed.

• Infrastructure

  Hosting in Cyprus or another proposed environment requires assessment of lawful processing, security and any international transfers.

• Transparency

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

From an agreed pilot to possible expansion

Learners and schools use Winny AI Tutor in 80+ countries worldwide. This global presence does not establish a national deployment in Cyprus. Pilot scope, validation and any expansion must be agreed locally.

1. First students and families

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

2. Proposed pilot

   Agree participating schools, learning goals, permissions and an independent evaluation before launching a pilot.

3. Local validation and setup

   Agree and validate curricula, content, assessment, languages, hosting and operating responsibilities for the intended use.

4. Possible expansion after evaluation

   Any broader deployment depends on pilot results, permissions, resources and further educational, technical and legal assessment.

   Hobbies, new skills, upskilling and reskilling — for children and adults.

5. Lifelong mentor Developing with partners

   Professional growth and career throughout life.

Career guidance that looks ahead

Advanced technology for discovering talents and choosing a career

The world and the job market are changing fast. From each learner’s own learning, Winny AI Tutor identifies their strengths, interests and talents in every subject and helps them choose a direction. With experts and universities we are adding labor market trends, new technologies and future professions — and, for families who want it, preparing neuroprofiling as an optional extra.

• Talents in every subject Working today

  The competency digital twin follows learning over the years and 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. They inform the learner’s and family’s own decision — they are not admission decisions.

• 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.

• Optional neuroprofiling Developing with partners

  With experts in neuroprofiling, we are preparing advanced diagnostics of talents and inclinations, including with neural interfaces. It is an option, not a requirement: only at the family’s request, with explicit written parental consent, outside school lessons. It is not designed to infer emotions and is not used in schools. Winny AI Tutor works fully without it.

Any proposed aggregated planning use requires an agreed purpose, lawful processing and validation; guidance does not decide individual admissions.
