Winny AI Tutor: learners and schools in 80+ countries

Education goals Zambia has set for itself

The Ministry of Education’s Strategic Plan 2022–⁠2026 sets seven strategic objectives. The short excerpts below highlight five priorities relevant to learning, access, curriculum, education data and teacher development. They do not represent a newly approved plan beyond 2026.

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, 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 popular 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

    Curriculum and textbook adaptation is planned with local education partners, using the 2023 Zambia Education Curriculum Framework and the relevant curriculum requirements for the school’s stage of implementation. Content, terminology and assessment requirements are agreed for the institution’s learners.

  • 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 the country.

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 the country — not the other way around.

  • Curriculum and assessments

    Adaptation to the 2023 Zambia Education Curriculum Framework and the relevant curriculum requirements for the school’s stage of implementation, textbooks and assessment requirements: primary and secondary education, with guided practice appropriate to the institution and stage of learning.

  • Language and culture

    Explanations in English, among more than 90 supported languages, with cultural adaptation. The language of tutoring is separate from the language of the product interface.

  • Models

    National, regional and open-weight models can be selected and fine-tuned with the relevant permissions for the country’s educational content.

  • Infrastructure

    Deployment is assessed against Zambia’s local server and data centre requirements, together with any applicable conditions for 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 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 solution that works today and stays under the country’s control.

A national picture, talents and less routine for teachers

  • Aggregated insights for schools and territorial education authorities: learning gaps by topic and subject.
  • An AI education advisor: ask questions of aggregated learning data in plain language, subject to the agreed permissions.
  • Talents and career guidance: early discovery of every learner’s abilities in each subject, and recommendations on fields that match their strengths and interests.
  • Enrolment planning: insights into learners’ interests and possible fields of study to support planning in vocational and higher education.
  • AI takes on routine questions and helps teachers review homework; the grade stays with the teacher.
  • Respect for the relevant curriculum and the school’s learning context: learners work at their own level, while teachers see progress and retain responsibility for assessment.
  • Practice for school assessments based on the relevant curriculum and assessment requirements, with guided learning before the assessment and without guaranteed results.
  • 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.

Standards

  • We check our systems against UNESCO and UN guidance on generative AI in education.
  • Our own AI governance charter.
  • Winny Cloud offers integration options for Learning Passport Zambia, Notesmaster (DODE) and EBS Radio and other education platforms, subject to operator agreement, the role of each system and applicable requirements.

Personal data

  • DPA 2021-ready
  • Zambian deployment assessment
  • Children’s data safeguards

Winny AI Tutor is ready for project assessment under Zambia’s Data Protection Act, 2021, and applicable regulations. The project must establish the purpose and lawful basis, information and consent requirements, safeguards for children’s data, registration, authorised access and security. Deployment and international processing must be assessed against the Act’s rules on servers and data centres in Zambia and the applicable conditions and approvals for transfers outside the country. Local storage alone does not establish compliance; no advertising and no sale of data. Readiness for review does not mean regulatory approval or automatic legal compliance.

A global EdTech company building an educational AI ecosystem for lifelong learning, with an ethical approach to artificial intelligence and respect for national education standards. Our flagship product is Winny AI Tutor. The company website is winny-ai.com; the product website for Zambia is zm.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 school learners: 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?

Winny AI Tutor supports school subjects including English language, mathematics, natural sciences, physics, chemistry, biology, social sciences, history, geography and technology, as well as foreign languages and hobbies. A local setup follows the relevant curriculum references and assessment requirements agreed with education partners. The tutor works in more than 90 languages; a local-language project needs its own terminology and curriculum review.

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 Zambia at zm.winnytutor.com.

Can Winny AI Tutor be adapted to Zambia’s curriculum?

Yes. Curriculum references, textbooks and the school’s learning context can inform the local setup for primary and secondary education. Content, terminology and assessment requirements are agreed with education partners; this does not imply approval by the ministry or any school.

Can Winny AI Tutor support assessment preparation in Zambia?

Assessment preparation has been part of Winny AI Tutor since 2024. A local setup can provide guided practice in school subjects using the relevant curriculum and assessment requirements agreed with education partners. The tutor supports learning before an assessment; it is not used during the assessment and does not guarantee a result.

Does Winny AI Tutor explain in English?

Yes. Winny AI Tutor can explain and answer in English, among more than 90 languages. The language of tutoring does not by itself promise a translated product interface. A local-language project needs its own terminology and curriculum review with education partners; support for every local language or curriculum is not assumed.

Where is learner data stored?

A local project can be designed for infrastructure in Zambia, a closed environment or an agreed provider setup. The deployment must first be assessed against the Data Protection Act, 2021, including its rules on local servers or data centres and the applicable conditions and approvals for international transfers. Registration, children’s data, access and security also require project review; local storage alone does not establish compliance.

Does Winny AI comply with personal data laws?

Winny AI Tutor is ready for project review under Zambia’s Data Protection Act, 2021 (Act No. 3 of 2021), its applicable regulations and data protection requirements. The lawful basis, information and consent requirements, safeguards for children’s data, access rights and any international transfers must be assessed for the planned use. No advertising and no sale of data. Readiness for review does not mean regulatory approval or automatic legal compliance.

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’, 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 Learning Passport Zambia, Notesmaster (DODE) and EBS Radio?

Winny Cloud offers integration options for suitable learning environments. Learning Passport Zambia supports online learning and access to educational resources. Notesmaster is listed by the ministry among its e-learning portals for distance education. EBS Radio provides educational broadcasting. Online learning resources and radio broadcasting are different services, not three universal school learning management systems. A guided AI activity belongs in an approved learning workflow, while administrative records and content reuse need separate permissions. A mini-app, White Label or the Winny Cloud API requires operator agreement, authorised interfaces and an assessment of data protection requirements. Winny does not claim existing connections or partnerships with these platforms.

Which AI tutor could be integrated into Zambia’s public education platforms?

Winny AI Tutor can be considered for a locally adapted project with education authorities, schools and platform operators in Zambia. Guided questions help learners reach a solution; teachers give the assessment. Winny Cloud offers possible integration formats for public and private learning environments. Curriculum, content rights, authorised interfaces, safeguards for children’s data and deployment requirements must first be agreed with the responsible parties.

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.
