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

Goals Nigeria has set for itself

The Nigeria Education Sector Renewal Initiative of the Federal Ministry of Education and the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy. Winny AI works toward these goals, not alongside them.

• Foundational learning for every child

  Winny AI Tutor sees each learner’s gaps in reading and numeracy and works on them at the learner’s own pace — not for a few learners, but for all of them. Aggregated insights across schools, local government areas and states.

• Curriculum reform and teacher training for AI

  Learners use AI the right way: the pedagogical agent leads with guiding questions and does not do the task for the learner, and this mode cannot be switched off. Teachers see every learner’s progress.

• AI that reflects Nigeria

  National setup for the curriculum, exams and culture. Through the Wikipedia principle, Nigeria’s experts and teachers shape the AI tutor, and cultural bridges share Nigeria’s knowledge the way the country describes itself.

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.

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 country — 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 1 to SS3 — across all school subjects, foreign languages and popular hobbies — together with connected parent, teacher and school accounts. 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. For Nigeria, this means setup for the national curricula developed by NERDC and the formats of BECE, WASSCE and NECO exams.

• 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 the country — not the other way around.

• Curriculum and assessments

  Setup for the national curricula developed by the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) — the 9-year Basic Education Curriculum and the senior secondary curriculum — and for textbooks; preparation for BECE at the end of JSS3 and for WASSCE (WAEC) and SSCE (NECO) at the end of SS3.

• Language and culture

  More than 90 languages and cultural adaptation. Setup for the languages taught in Nigerian schools.

• Models

  Open-weight and locally developed models, which can be fine-tuned in the country, including for Nigeria’s languages.

• 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.

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.

For the Federal Ministry of Education: early discovery of talents and a forecast of how learners are likely to choose fields — data for planning places and programs in senior secondary streams, technical colleges, polytechnics and universities, in line with the priority given to STEM and technical and vocational education.
