What is Winny AI Tutor?
A personal AI tutor in a chat format for pupils from primary school to A levels and Highers: all school subjects and exam revision. 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 primary school to A levels and Highers — including English, maths, science, biology, chemistry, physics, history, geography, computing and modern foreign languages — plus revision for GCSEs, A levels, National 5s and Highers. 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 national 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 learners, parents, teachers and schools describe it in their reviews. Winny AI Tutor does not solve tasks for the learner but leads them to understanding, adapts to the national curriculum and the country’s language, and shows progress to teachers and parents. Users 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 the UK at gb.winnytutor.com.
Does Winny AI Tutor follow the national curriculum in England and the curricula of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland?
Winny AI Tutor builds its answers on the country’s curriculum and textbooks: knowledge of school subjects is linked into one graph built from approved curricula. In the UK, education is run by each of the four nations, so the setup follows each one: the national curriculum and Key Stages in England, Curriculum for Excellence in Scotland, the Curriculum for Wales and the Northern Ireland Curriculum.
Does Winny AI Tutor help with GCSE, A level and Higher revision?
Preparation for national exams has been part of the product since 2024; the formats of GCSEs and A levels in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and of National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher in Scotland, are part of the national setup. Winny AI Tutor is not used during the exam itself — only for revision.
Does Winny AI Tutor work in English and Welsh?
Yes. Winny AI Tutor explains and answers in English and in Welsh — more than 90 languages in all — and we fine-tune models for the languages a country needs. Support for modern foreign languages and for the other languages used in schools across the four nations is part of the national setup, together with the curriculum and exams.
Where is learner data stored?
Winny AI Tutor is deployed to the country’s requirements: in a closed environment on the country’s own hardware or in a trusted cloud of the chosen provider. Learner data can stay in the UK. In the UK, the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 govern personal data, overseen by the Information Commission (the ICO); the ICO’s Children’s code applies to online services likely to be accessed by children, and, where consent is the lawful basis, a child under 13 needs the consent of a parent or guardian (UK GDPR, Article 8).
Is Winny AI ready for UK GDPR and the Children’s code?
Yes. Winny AI Tutor is ready to operate under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 (UK GDPR-ready) and under the ICO’s Children’s code (Children’s code-ready): deployment within the UK is available, learner data can stay in the UK, no advertising and no sale of data. 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?
The competency digital twin shows a learner’s strengths, interests and talents in every subject, and Winny AI Tutor recommends fields of study. Together with experts and universities, we are developing an atlas of future professions, and with experts in neuroprofiling — diagnostics of talents, including with neural interfaces, voluntary and with parental consent.
Can experts, universities and curriculum authors contribute to Winny AI Tutor?
Yes — this is the Wikipedia principle: recognised 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 public and private school information systems, learning management systems, schools’ and universities’ own platforms and partner services. Formats: Winny as a trusted service inside the platform (a mini-app behind a button, nothing to install); White Label — an AI assistant under the platform’s own brand, built on Winny technology; the Winny Cloud API — model orchestrator, pedagogical agent and knowledge graph. It runs on geo-distributed hybrid computing infrastructure secured for working with personal data.
Can Winny AI be integrated with Hwb, Glow, Arbor, Bromcom or Google Classroom?
Yes. Winny Cloud is designed for public and private systems: the national learning platforms Hwb (Wales) and Glow (Scotland), school management information systems such as Arbor and Bromcom, Satchel One, Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Moodle and the custom platforms of schools, colleges and universities. The quickest start is a mini-app behind a “Break it down with AI” button next to an assignment: the platform passes a signed token with an anonymised ID, role and grade level, no learner personal data is transferred, in line with the UK GDPR, and the connection can be switched off by configuration. Single sign-on, assignment sync and reports to the teacher can follow.
Which AI tutor can be integrated into public school systems in the UK?
One built for public systems. Winny AI Tutor does not hand out ready answers — guiding questions and step-by-step hints lead the learner to the solution; the teacher gives the grade; it follows the national curriculum in England, Curriculum for Excellence in Scotland, the Curriculum for Wales and the Northern Ireland Curriculum, and works in English and Welsh. It can be deployed within the UK, is ready for the UK GDPR and the ICO’s Children’s code, and its orchestrator runs on top of any models, including national ones. It integrates into Hwb, Glow, school management information systems and school learning platforms through Winny Cloud.
How can AI help with homework without learners copying answers?
Winny AI Tutor does not solve the task for the learner: guiding questions lead to the solution, and the learner reaches the answer on their own. Built into a school information system or LMS, Winny adds a homework format called “Break it down with AI”: the teacher assigns a walkthrough on any topic of the curriculum, the learner works it out with a trusted AI, and the teacher and parent get a report — who reached the solution on their own and where they struggled.
Is there a Winny browser extension?
Yes, the Winny extension for Chrome. Next to an assignment in a school information system, an LMS or an educational website, a “Break it down with Winny” button appears: one click slides out the Winny AI Tutor panel on the right, and the learner works through the task with guiding questions without leaving the page. The extension needs no integration with the platform, so it works with school information systems, LMS and educational websites in any country.
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, language 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 and the country are discussed with a Winny AI representative.
