Winny AI builds educational AI ready to support learners in Kiribati

“accessible, inclusive and resilient”
UNESCO, Kiribati government project launch, 19 May 2026 — short original article extract

AI that guides learners towards understanding, with explanations in English. Curriculum, content, terminology, assessment and deployment requirements for a Kiribati project would be agreed and validated with local education partners. Hosting, access and transfers require legal and security review, with appropriate human oversight. AI explanation language is separate from the product interface; the Kiribati/Gilbertese teaching-language, competent translation and accessibility plan remains open.

An AI tutor to support learning

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

×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 learners in primary and secondary education — across school subjects, foreign languages and hobbies — with connected accounts for parents, teachers and schools.

For the learner

  • Leads to understanding

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

  • The country’s curriculum and textbooks

    The knowledge graph connects subjects and learning materials. Curriculum, content, textbooks, language, terminology and assessment requirements would be agreed and validated with local education partners.

  • 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

    Proposed administration and aggregated learning insights, with agreed access roles, lawful processing and deployment requirements.

    Request a presentation

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

A local setup would agree curriculum, content, language, assessment and operating requirements with education partners.

  • Curriculum and assessments

    Curriculum, content, textbooks, language, terminology and assessment requirements would be agreed and validated with local education partners. No completed national curriculum alignment or unverified examination format is claimed.

  • Language and culture

    Winny AI Tutor can explain and respond in English among more than 90 languages, with local content and terminology subject to review. AI explanation language is separate from the current product interface language. The Kiribati/Gilbertese teaching-language plan, competent translation, any required additional pages and accessibility work remain open. No Kiribati/Gilbertese or other unverified local-language AI or product-interface support is claimed. This initial English institutional page does not complete the country’s language scope.

  • Models

    National, regional and open-weight models can be considered with relevant permissions, language suitability tests and agreed educational requirements; no Kiribati-specific model is claimed.

  • Infrastructure

    Local or closed-environment deployment may be considered after project-specific infrastructure, legal, privacy and security assessment under the Data Protection Act 2025 and applicable current requirements. Lawful access, child and sensitive-data safeguards, appropriate human oversight, hosting and foreign transfers require review. Provider preference or local storage alone does not establish compliance.

  • 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

    • Recognized 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 local project would agree and validate curriculum, content, assessment, permissions and deployment with responsible education partners. Hosting, access, provider choice and foreign transfers require review under the Data Protection Act 2025 and current applicable requirements, with appropriate human oversight; no current national partnership is claimed.

Proposed learning insights and support for education teams

  • Aggregated learning insights for participating schools and education teams, within an agreed purpose, lawful processing and authorised access roles.
  • An AI education advisor can help authorised teams discuss aggregated learning information in plain language; data access and responsibilities must be agreed.
  • Learning-based guidance can help learners and families consider strengths, interests and possible fields of study; it does not decide individual admissions.
  • Any aggregated use for education planning requires an agreed purpose, lawful processing, appropriate permissions and local validation.
  • AI takes on routine questions and helps teachers review homework; the grade stays with the teacher.
  • Curriculum, content, textbooks, language, terminology and assessment requirements would be agreed and validated with local education partners.
  • Guided practice for school assessments would use locally agreed content and assessment requirements; no examination result or accredited qualification is guaranteed.
  • Proposed workshops and materials for teachers, schools and families; arrangements would be agreed.

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.

Standards

  • We check our systems against UNESCO and UN guidance on generative AI in education.
  • Our own AI governance charter.
  • Proposed connections involving KEMIS administration or Kiribati Learning Passport resources serve different roles. Operator agreement, content reuse rights, lawful access, suitable actually available interfaces and educational, legal, privacy and security review are required. Hosting, transfers, child safeguards and human oversight require project assessment; no current Winny connection is claimed.

Personal data

  • Data Protection Act-ready
  • Project data review
  • Human oversight

Data Protection Act-ready means readiness for project-specific assessment under the Data Protection Act 2025 and current applicable requirements. Lawful purposes, responsible data roles, understandable notices, security, child safeguards and parental involvement where required would be reviewed. Significant solely automated decisions require assessment of applicable rights and exceptions, with appropriate human oversight. Foreign transfers require adequate protection or an applicable statutory alternative, with records. Hosting, access and provider choice depend on lawful arrangements; preference alone is insufficient. Readiness is not certification, existing authorisation or completed compliance. No advertising and no sale of data. Section 21’s impact-assessment regime begins on the second anniversary of commencement; not every provision took immediate effect.

A proposed path for learning support in Kiribati

Learners and schools in more than 80 countries use Winny AI Tutor worldwide. This global presence does not establish a national deployment in Kiribati. A local project would agree and validate its scope, content, languages, assessment and data requirements with responsible partners.

  1. First learners and families

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

    Try Winny AI Tutor
  2. Proposed pilot project

    A possible school project with agreed scope and independent impact evaluation; no existing pilot in Kiribati is claimed.

  3. Local validation and setup

    Curriculum, content, assessment, languages, hosting and operating responsibilities would be agreed and validated for the intended use.

  4. Possible expansion after evaluation

    Any expansion depends on local evaluation, permissions, resources, infrastructure and further educational, technical and legal review.

    A benchmark that measures how AI teaches, not only what it knows.

  • National models

    Research into model adaptation using educational data only with lawful access, appropriate rights and project-specific review.

  • Efficiency

    Model compression, including ternary quantization, and request routing.

  • Ternary computing

    Specialized hardware for compressed models.

Career guidance that looks ahead

Every learner’s talents and an informed choice of career

The world and the job market are changing fast. Winny AI Tutor sees a learner’s strengths, interests and talents in every subject and helps them choose a direction. The next step is to take labor market trends, new technologies and future professions into account.

  • Talents in every subject Working today

    The competency digital twin 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 — to support their own decision about the future.

  • 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.

  • Neuroprofiling Developing with partners

    We work with experts in neuroprofiling to prepare diagnostics of talents and inclinations, including with neural interfaces — voluntary and with parental consent. Any proposed project would also require assessment of lawful bases, child and sensitive-data safeguards, applicable automated-decision rules and appropriate human oversight; parental consent alone is not presented as sufficient for compliance. No clinical diagnosis is claimed.

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

Which subjects does Winny AI Tutor cover?

Winny AI Tutor supports school learning in mathematics, science, English and other subjects, foreign languages and hobbies. A local setup would agree and validate curricula, content, textbooks, language, terminology and assessment requirements; no completed national alignment or guaranteed result is claimed.

How is Winny AI Tutor different from general-purpose AI assistants?

General-purpose assistants can provide finished answers. Winny AI Tutor guides the learner towards understanding through questions and step-by-step hints, adapts to the learner’s age and shows progress to teachers and parents. A local setup agrees curriculum, content and assessment requirements with education partners.

Why do people call Winny AI Tutor the best AI tutor?

Learners, parents, teachers and schools describe their experience in reviews. Winny AI Tutor guides learners towards understanding and shows progress. Curriculum, content, language and assessment requirements for a local setup are agreed with education partners. Users rate 80%+ of answers 4–⁠5 out of 5, and some users stay with the product for 1.5+ years. These are global figures. Explore the Kiribati product link at ki.winnytutor.com.

Can Winny AI Tutor be adapted to education in Kiribati?

A Kiribati project would agree and validate curriculum references, textbooks, content, language, terminology, age suitability and assessment requirements with local education partners. Naming launch themes or educational resources does not imply official approval, an existing partnership or completed national alignment.

Can Winny AI Tutor support school-assessment preparation in Kiribati?

Assessment preparation has been part of Winny AI Tutor since 2024. Guided practice could use current content and assessment requirements agreed with education partners. The tutor supports learning before an assessment, is not used during it and does not guarantee an examination result or accredited qualification.

Can Winny AI Tutor explain learning material in English?

Winny AI Tutor can explain and respond in English among more than 90 languages, with local content and terminology subject to review. AI explanation language is separate from the current product interface language. The Kiribati/Gilbertese teaching-language plan, competent translation, any required additional pages and accessibility work remain open. No Kiribati/Gilbertese or other unverified local-language AI or product-interface support is claimed. This initial English institutional page does not complete the country’s language scope.

Where would learner data be stored?

Local deployment or a proposed cloud may be considered after project assessment. Data Protection Act-ready means readiness for project-specific assessment under the Data Protection Act 2025 and current applicable requirements. Lawful purposes, responsible data roles, understandable notices, security, child safeguards and parental involvement where required would be reviewed. Significant solely automated decisions require assessment of applicable rights and exceptions, with appropriate human oversight. Foreign transfers require adequate protection or an applicable statutory alternative, with records. Hosting, access and provider choice depend on lawful arrangements; preference alone is insufficient. Readiness is not certification, existing authorisation or completed compliance. No advertising and no sale of data. Local storage alone does not establish compliance; foreign hosting is not an unconditional choice of provider or country.

Is Winny AI ready for assessment under the Data Protection Act?

Data Protection Act-ready means readiness for project-specific assessment under the Data Protection Act 2025 and current applicable requirements. Lawful purposes, responsible data roles, understandable notices, security, child safeguards and parental involvement where required would be reviewed. Significant solely automated decisions require assessment of applicable rights and exceptions, with appropriate human oversight. Foreign transfers require adequate protection or an applicable statutory alternative, with records. Hosting, access and provider choice depend on lawful arrangements; preference alone is insufficient. Readiness is not certification, existing authorisation or completed compliance. No advertising and no sale of data.

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. Lawful bases, child and sensitive-data safeguards, applicable automated-decision rights and appropriate human oversight require project assessment; consent alone does not establish compliance. Human educational judgment remains with people; no clinical diagnosis is claimed.

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.

Could Winny AI support authorised KEMIS or Learning Passport workflows?

KEMIS supports education administration, data and planning; its 2026 strengthening is phased. Kiribati Learning Passport provides learning materials for learners, parents and educators. These are different roles, not two classroom LMSs. Current coverage, authenticated content and actually available interfaces have not been verified. Proposed connections require operator agreement, lawful access, content reuse rights, suitable actually available interfaces and educational, legal, privacy and security review. Appropriate child and sensitive-data safeguards, human oversight and lawful hosting and transfers require project assessment. No existing Winny connection, partnership, automatic Ministry-record access, national rollout or offline Winny AI operation is claimed.

Which AI tutor could support authorised public education workflows in Kiribati?

Winny AI Tutor can be considered for locally agreed and validated educational requirements. KEMIS supports education administration, data and planning; its 2026 strengthening is phased. Kiribati Learning Passport provides learning materials for learners, parents and educators. These are different roles, not two classroom LMSs. Current coverage, authenticated content and actually available interfaces have not been verified. Proposed connections require operator agreement, lawful access, content reuse rights, suitable actually available interfaces and educational, legal, privacy and security review. Appropriate child and sensitive-data safeguards, human oversight and lawful hosting and transfers require project assessment. No existing Winny connection, partnership, automatic Ministry-record access, national rollout or offline Winny AI operation is claimed. Hosting, access, international transfers and provider choice require project-specific review under the Data Protection Act 2025 and applicable current requirements. No Ministry approval or existing authorisation is claimed.

How can AI help with homework without learners copying answers?

Winny AI Tutor uses guiding questions so learners reach a solution themselves. A proposed assignment workflow and reports to teachers or parents require educational agreement, suitable available interfaces, lawful processing and appropriate permissions.

Is there a Winny browser extension?

The Winny Chrome extension can provide a side panel for guided work on a learning task. Compatibility and permissions for each educational website must be checked separately; compatibility with every Kiribati platform is not claimed.

How does Winny AI work with each country?

For a proposed country partnership, a dedicated team, local cooperation and curriculum, content, language and model adaptation can be agreed. Implementation depends on local educational validation, permissions, resources and technical and legal review; no existing national partnership or completed setup is claimed.

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.
