Winny AI Tutor: learners and schools in 80+ countries

Five selected themes from the 2016 guidelines

The guidelines of 8 September 2016 provide a historical reference. We select five themes and propose possible Winny AI contributions for review with schools. These are neither an exhaustive list nor a new 2026 strategy.

A personal tutor for every learner. A project to evaluate together

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 chat for primary, lower secondary and upper secondary learners: school subjects, foreign languages and hobbies, with accounts for parents, teachers and schools.

For the learner

  • Leads to understanding

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

  • Configure curricula and materials together

    Setup for San Marino requires local review of adopted curricula, materials and assessment requirements, with the relevant usage rights.

  • 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 and authorised aggregate insights following review of roles, privacy and operating conditions.

    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 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

For San Marino we propose a configuration to review with institutions and schools.

  • Curricula and local assessment

    Adopted curricula, materials and assessment requirements for primary, lower secondary and upper secondary education: review before configuration.

  • Language and culture

    Italian and English AI explanations are separate from the product interface language. Interface, accessibility and school-use options are agreed with the institution for the project. Explore Winny AI Tutor.

  • Models

    Italian-language and open models may be selected for the project. Fine-tuning requires suitable data, rights and privacy review.

  • Infrastructure

    Own hardware or a suitable cloud are options requiring review of roles, security, hosting and international transfers.

  • 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 recognized 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.

What the government gets

A proposal to configure and validate together with responsible authorities and schools.

A national picture, talents and less routine for teachers

  • Authorised aggregate insights for schools and institutions, with data minimisation.
  • Ask questions about authorised data in everyday language, within agreed roles and permissions.
  • Talents and career guidance: early discovery of every student’s abilities in each subject from their learning, and recommendations on fields that match their strengths and interests — as input for the student’s and family’s own decision, not for selection decisions.
  • Lawful aggregate information for planning study pathways, subject to human review, without automated student selection.
  • AI takes on routine questions and helps teachers review homework; the grade stays with the teacher.
  • Assessment preparation using locally reviewed requirements and materials, without a passing guarantee.
  • 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.
  • Possible connections require available interfaces, operator agreements, lawful access, rights and prior review.

Personal data

  • Law 171/2018-ready
  • Project review required

Law 171/2018-ready means ready for project review under San Marino's law of 21 December 2018, without certification. Before use, review roles, lawful basis, minimisation, information children can understand, parental permission where required, security and rights. Consent is one possible lawful basis. Solely automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects require the safeguards and conditions specified by law and effective human review. Hosting and international transfers require review: Article 46 permits transfers to EU states and countries recognised as adequate by the EU without prior authorisation, as well as the specified bilateral agreement cases; for other transfers Article 47 requires appropriate safeguards, enforceable rights and effective remedies. Local storage alone does not establish lawfulness. No advertising and no sale of data.

    Model compression, including ternary quantization, and request routing.

  • Ternary computing

    Specialized 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 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 institutions: authorised aggregate information on study pathways to assist planning without decisions about individual learners.

Assessment preparation requires review of local requirements. Beyond school: foreign languages, with explanations in 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 learners with focused questions and hints, adapts to age and shows progress to teachers and parents. Curricula for San Marino require configuration after local review.

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

Students, parents, teachers and schools describe it this way in reviews: it guides learners towards understanding and shows progress. Worldwide, users rate 80%+ of answers 4–⁠5 out of 5, and some stay for over 1.5 years. For San Marino we propose a locally reviewed curriculum setup. Explore the product at sm.winnytutor.com.

How is Winny AI Tutor configured for San Marino's curricula?

Winny AI Tutor connects knowledge in a curriculum graph. For San Marino we propose setup with local experts after review of adopted curricula, materials and rights. No completed national coverage is claimed.

Does Winny AI Tutor help with assessment preparation?

Exam preparation has been part of the product since 2024. Requirements and permitted materials for San Marino need local agreement and review. No specific format or passing result is guaranteed: the tutor is for preparation, not use during assessments.

Which languages and interface are available?

Italian and English AI explanations are separate from the product interface language. Interface, accessibility and school-use options are agreed with the institution for the project. Explore Winny AI Tutor.

Where is learner data stored?

Own hardware or a suitable cloud are possible after project review. Roles, providers, hosting, security and international transfers must be agreed under Law 171/2018; local storage alone does not establish lawfulness.

What does Law 171/2018-ready mean?

Law 171/2018-ready means ready for project review under San Marino's law of 21 December 2018, without certification. Before use, review roles, lawful basis, minimisation, information children can understand, parental permission where required, security and rights. Consent is one possible lawful basis. Solely automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects require the safeguards and conditions specified by law and effective human review. Hosting and international transfers require review: Article 46 permits transfers to EU states and countries recognised as adequate by the EU without prior authorisation, as well as the specified bilateral agreement cases; for other transfers Article 47 requires appropriate safeguards, enforceable rights and effective remedies. Local storage alone does not establish lawfulness. 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?

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 recognize learners’ emotions?

Neuroprofiling is an optional extra still in preparation: only at the family’s request, with explicit written parental consent, outside school lessons and after separate legal and privacy review. Winny AI Tutor works fully without it. We do not infer emotions from voice, face or body signals; voice is for transcription, photos for the task. This describes product design without claiming automatic EU AI Act applicability.

Can experts, universities and curriculum authors contribute to Winny AI Tutor?

Yes — this is the Wikipedia principle: recognized 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?

Winny Cloud is the separate product for a possible integration of Winny technology into public and private systems: mini-app, White Label and API. Each project requires interfaces that are actually available, operator agreements, lawful access, data and content rights, and educational, legal, security and privacy review.

Could Winny connect to Spaggiari / ClasseViva or Google Workspace for Education?

Winny Cloud offers a possible connection to existing systems. The primary school's teacher page links the Spaggiari / ClasseViva register, a single ecosystem, and instructions for Google Workspace for Education; this does not establish universal national coverage. Each connection requires suitable interfaces that are actually available, operator agreement and permission, lawful access, data and content rights, and technical, educational, security and privacy review. No existing Winny integration, partnership or pilot is claimed.

What does an AI tutor for San Marino's schools require?

First review curricula, materials, rights, roles, languages, interface and operating conditions together. Project configuration and validation are agreed with institutions and schools. Connections through Winny Cloud require available interfaces, operator agreements and legal, educational, security and privacy review.

How can AI help with homework without learners copying answers?

Winny AI Tutor guides with focused questions so the learner constructs the solution. A possible AI task format and reports for teachers and parents require agreement on the platform, roles, permissions and privacy, as well as project review.

Is there a Winny browser extension?

Yes, there is a Winny Chrome extension with a side panel for working through tasks step by step. Local compatibility with Spaggiari / ClasseViva and Google Workspace for Education has not been verified. Lawful access, operator rules and privacy remain necessary: an extension does not create access rights.

How does Winny AI work with each country?

For national projects we propose a dedicated team and local partners to configure curricula, languages and materials for the country’s conditions. No existing agreement or collaboration in San Marino 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.

How much does Winny AI Tutor cost?

Core features are free forever; teachers use it free with generous limits. Terms for schools and institutions are agreed with a Winny AI representative.
