Winny AI builds educational AI ready to help every learner in Germany

Goals the Federation and the Länder have set together

The Startchancen Programme of the Federation and the Länder (2024–⁠2034), the Standing Conference of Education Ministers’ strategy “Education in the Digital World” and its 2024 recommendation on AI in schools; plus Digital Pact 2.0, in force since 1 September 2026. Winny AI works toward these goals, not alongside them.

• AI as a personal learning tutor

  Winny AI Tutor is a personal AI tutor in a chat format: the pedagogical agent leads to the solution with guiding questions, level by level on Bloom’s taxonomy, and does not do the task for the pupil. This mode cannot be switched off.

• Minimum standards in mathematics and German

  Winny AI Tutor shows the gaps in mathematics, German and every other subject and guides learners at their own pace — with step-by-step hints instead of finished solutions; teachers and parents see progress.

  Quote and source

  “By the end of the programme period, the number of pupils who fall short of the minimum standards in mathematics and German is to be halved at the Startchancen schools”

• Digital competence in every subject

  Pupils learn to work with AI safely and meaningfully while studying every subject; teachers and schools see progress in aggregated overviews — on data that can stay in Germany.

  Quote and source

  “The Länder include in their curricula and framework plans … the competencies required for active, self-determined participation in a digital world. This is not implemented through a separate curriculum for a separate subject but becomes an integral part of the subject curricula of all subjects”

• Individual diagnostics and career guidance

  Winny AI Tutor sees strengths, gaps and talents in every subject and guides learners at their own pace — and supports career guidance as input for the learner’s and family’s own decision.

  Quote and source

  “Startchancen schools commit to individual diagnostics, adaptive support and data-based school and teaching development, as well as early and systematic vocational orientation”

• Teachers’ time for individual support

  The teacher’s AI assistant takes on routine questions and helps review homework. The grade stays with the teacher. Winny AI Tutor is free for teachers.

  Quote and source

  “Likewise, teachers are relieved in lesson preparation, delivery and follow-up and are thereby given the necessary freedom to meet a heterogeneous student body with more personalised and individualised learning support”

A personal tutor for every learner. Now at national scale

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.

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

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.

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 Länder — 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 from primary school to the Abitur — across all school subjects, foreign languages and popular hobbies — together with connected accounts for parents, teachers and schools. Learners, parents, teachers and schools see one shared picture of learning.

For the learner

• Leads to understanding

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

• The curricula of the Länder

  Answers follow the approved curricula and textbooks. For Germany, this means setup for the curricula and educational plans of the Länder and the KMK educational standards, and for the formats of the Abitur and the examinations for the intermediate school-leaving certificate.

• 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.

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

Winny AI Tutor adapts to Germany and the educational plans of the Länder — not the other way around.

• Curriculum and examinations

  Setup for the curricula and educational plans of the Länder and the KMK educational standards (primary level, intermediate school-leaving certificate, Abitur); preparation for the Abitur and for the examinations for the intermediate school-leaving certificate.

• Language and culture

  More than 90 languages and cultural adaptation. In Germany — German, with the school terminology used from primary school to the Abitur.

• Models

  German-language and open models, which can be fine-tuned in Germany.

• Infrastructure

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

• Transparency

  A “glass box”, not a “black box”: the Länder, school authorities and supervisory authorities can check how answers are built and what they contain.

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.

For the Länder: early discovery of talents and an aggregated forecast of how school leavers are likely to choose their routes — data for planning places and programmes in upper secondary education and at universities.
