Winny AI Tutor: learners and schools in 80+ countries

Goals Ireland has set for itself

The Department of Education and Youth’s Statement of Strategy 2025–⁠2028, the Digital Strategy for Schools to 2027 and the Guidance on Artificial Intelligence in Schools. Winny AI works toward these goals, not alongside them.

From Malin Head to Mizen Head — almost 980,000 pupils and students in primary and post-primary schools and more than 77,000 teaching posts Department of Education and Youth, Statistical Bulletin 2024/25 (Overview of Education 2004/05–⁠2024/25), published August 2025

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.

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, randomised study, Nigeria, 2025

×2

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.

A ready answer is not yet knowledge. Schools need AI that teaches

Students everywhere already use AI. But general-purpose assistants were not built for school: by default, they do the task for the student and follow the provider’s rules, not the country’s.

Flagship product of Winny AI

Winny AI Tutor — an international learning ecosystem

A personal AI tutor in a chat format for students from primary school to the Leaving Certificate — 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 country’s curriculum and textbooks

    Answers follow the approved curricula and textbooks. In Ireland, this means setup for the NCCA curriculum and specifications for primary and post-primary schools, and for the formats of the Junior Cycle and the 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.

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 Ireland.

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 Ireland — not the other way around.

  • Curriculum and examinations

    Setup for the NCCA curriculum, specifications and textbooks, from primary school to Senior Cycle; preparation for Junior Cycle assessment and the Leaving Certificate (State Examinations Commission).

  • Language and culture

    More than 90 languages, including English and Irish, and cultural adaptation — for Gaelscoileanna and Gaeltacht schools too.

  • Models

    National and European models, including models that work in Irish, which can be fine-tuned in the country.

  • 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.

Platform for experts

The Wikipedia principle: the country’s leading experts shape the AI together with us

We are building a platform where recognised experts add to and fine-tune educational AI: each contributes what they know best.

  1. Who

    Experts and communities

    • Recognised experts
    • Universities and the academic community
    • Companies
    • Authors of original curricula

  2. What

    The country’s knowledge

    • Curricula and subjects
    • Fields of knowledge
    • Languages
    • Teaching guides and books

  3. Review

    Winny AI reviews

    • Moderation
    • Safety layer
    • Pedagogical quality loop

  4. For whom

    For learners

    • Learners in the country
    • Learners around the world — through cultural bridges

That is how Wikipedia became the largest body of knowledge humanity has.

That is how Winny becomes the deepest and most distinctive AI tutor — one that passes knowledge on to the next generations.

Become an expert partner

What the government gets

A solution that works today and stays under the country’s control.

A national picture, talents and less routine for teachers

  • Aggregated insights across schools and the whole system: gaps by topic and subject.
  • An AI education advisor: ask questions of the data in plain language — for the whole system and for each school.
  • Talents and career guidance: early discovery of every pupil’s abilities in each subject from their learning, and recommendations on fields that match their strengths and interests — as input for the pupil’s and family’s own decision, not for admission decisions.
  • Enrolment planning: an aggregated forecast of how many graduates are likely to choose each field — for places and programmes in further education and training and in higher education, with no decisions about individual students.
  • AI takes on routine questions and helps teachers review homework; the grade stays with the teacher.
  • Preparation for the Junior Cycle and the Leaving Certificate, based on NCCA specifications and textbooks.
  • Support for teachers: workshops, plus materials for schools and parents.

Child safety is built into the architecture

Age-appropriate design, transparency for regulators and international standards.

Built in

  • Age-appropriate adaptation and filtering of harmful content.
  • A safety layer checks answers for child safety.
  • AI makes recommendations; the teacher gives the grade.
  • No advertising and no sale of user data.
  • Voice is processed only for transcription, photos only to work through the learning task: the AI understands text, diagrams and drawings, but does not infer emotions from voice or faces.

Standards

  • We check our systems against UNESCO and UN guidance on generative AI in education.
  • Our own AI governance charter.
  • Can be built into school information systems and learning platforms through Winny Cloud: VSware, Aladdin and its Aladdin Connect portal and other platforms.

Personal data

  • GDPR-ready
  • EU AI Act-ready
  • Can run in Ireland

Winny AI Tutor is ready to operate under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018: when deployed within the country’s infrastructure, learner data stays in Ireland; no advertising and no sale of data. We are ready for the rule that, for online services offered directly to children under 16, consent is given or authorised by a parent (Article 8 GDPR and section 31 of the Act), and for the Data Protection Commission’s Fundamentals for a Child-Oriented Approach to Data Processing. We are also ready for assessment under the EU Artificial Intelligence Act, which classifies certain uses of AI in education — such as evaluating learning outcomes and steering the learning process — as high-risk, and prohibits inferring emotions in educational institutions. In every country we undergo, or are ready to undergo, review under its data protection law.

    Fine-tuning open models on the country’s educational data.

  • Efficiency

    Model compression, including ternary quantisation, and request routing.

  • Ternary computing

    Specialised hardware for compressed models.

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 labour 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 labour 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 government: early discovery of talents and an aggregated forecast of how graduates are likely to choose fields — data for planning places and programmes in further education and training and in higher education.

Questions about Winny AI

What is Winny AI?

A global EdTech company building AI solutions for personalised learning, with an ethical approach to adopting artificial intelligence and respect for national education standards. We are developing an educational AI ecosystem for lifelong learning. Our flagship product is Winny AI Tutor. The company website is winny-ai.com; the product website for Ireland is ie.winnytutor.com.

What are the mission and vision of Winny AI?

Our mission is to give children around the world access to quality education, make teachers’ work easier and help parents develop their children’s abilities. Our vision is a future in which world-class personalised education is available to everyone, and artificial intelligence serves to unlock human potential and is used with full responsibility to future generations.

What is Winny AI Tutor?

A personal AI tutor in a chat format for students from primary school to the Leaving Certificate: 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 primary school to the Leaving Certificate — including English, Irish, maths, science, physics, chemistry, biology, history, geography, business, computer science and modern foreign languages — plus Junior Cycle and Leaving Cert study and revision. 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 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 national curriculum in 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 Ireland at ie.winnytutor.com.

Does Winny AI Tutor follow the Irish curriculum and NCCA specifications?

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 Ireland, this means setup for the NCCA curriculum and specifications — the Primary Curriculum Framework, the Junior Cycle and Senior Cycle.

Does Winny AI Tutor help with Leaving Cert and Junior Cycle revision?

Preparation for national exams has been part of the product since 2024; the formats of the Leaving Certificate and of Junior Cycle assessment (State Examinations Commission) are part of the national setup. Like grinds, but whenever a student studies and at their own pace, Winny AI Tutor works through each topic with them — a complement to teachers, not a replacement. It is not used during the exam itself — only to prepare for it. For coursework, the State Examinations Commission treats material generated by AI as work the candidate has not generated themselves — which is why Winny AI Tutor guides students to understanding instead of writing for them.

Does Winny AI Tutor work in Irish?

Winny AI Tutor works in more than 90 languages, including English and Irish, and we fine-tune models for the country’s languages. Working in Irish — for Gaelscoileanna and Gaeltacht schools too — is part of the national setup, together with the curriculum and examinations.

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 Ireland.

Is Winny AI ready for GDPR and the EU AI Act?

Yes. Winny AI Tutor is ready to operate under the GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 (GDPR-ready), including the digital age of consent of 16 set by section 31 of the Act, and under the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act-ready): deployment within the country, with learner data staying in Ireland, 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 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 recognise 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: the EU Artificial Intelligence Act prohibits inferring emotions in educational institutions, and 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: 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’, universities’ and companies’ 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 connect with VSware, Aladdin and its Aladdin Connect portal in Ireland?

Winny Cloud is designed for integration into public and private education systems. VSware is a school management information system supporting attendance, assessment and timetabling. Aladdin is a primary-school administration system; Aladdin Connect is its school-family communication portal, with access and visible features controlled by the school. These are private products chosen by schools, not a single government-owned national LMS. A guided AI session belongs in the learning workflow; any administrative data exchange requires separate authorisation. A possible starting point is a mini-app behind a “Break it down with AI” button next to an assignment; single sign-on, assignment sync and reports to the teacher can follow. Integration requires agreement with the platform operator, an assessment of its technical interfaces and the applicable data protection requirements. These are integration options, not a claim that Winny is already connected to these systems.

Which AI tutor can be integrated into the public education platforms of Ireland?

Winny AI Tutor can be set up for the curricula and assessment requirements used by the relevant education authority in Ireland. Guiding questions lead learners to the solution step by step; the teacher gives the assessment. Winny Cloud provides integration options for school-selected education platforms in Ireland, including VSware and Aladdin, subject to the role and authorised interfaces of each system. Deployment within the country and keeping learner data in the country are available setup options. The specific data processing and integration requirements are assessed with the education authority and the platform operator.

How can AI help with homework without learners copying answers?

Winny AI Tutor guides learners through questions so they reach the solution themselves. Built into a school platform or LMS, Winny adds a homework format called “Break it down with AI”: the teacher assigns a walkthrough on a topic of the curriculum, the learner works through it with a trusted AI, and the teacher and parents 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 platform, 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 separate integration with the platform.

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.
