For anyone who’s ever closed a tutoring call feeling confident—only to forget half of it the next day—Wiingy thinks it has a fix.
On January 28, the tutoring marketplace announced CoTutor, an AI-powered learning companion that automatically turns live tutoring sessions into personalized review tools. The pitch isn’t about replacing teachers or automating instruction. It’s about what happens after the lesson ends.
Wiingy’s bet is simple: tutoring works best when learning doesn’t stop the moment the video call does.
Turning live lessons into something you can actually revisit
CoTutor runs quietly in the background of every Wiingy session. Once a lesson wraps up, the system captures the discussion and reshapes it into short, focused study material—without students needing to take extra notes or rewatch long recordings.
Those materials include audio-style summaries that feel more like short podcasts than transcripts, written lesson breakdowns, quick quizzes, and flashcards that resurface concepts over time. The idea is to compress a long session into a few minutes of targeted review.
Instead of rereading pages of notes, students can refresh a full class while commuting, exercising, or squeezing in a quick break.
Why Wiingy is betting on reinforcement, not replacement
Unlike many AI education tools flooding the market, CoTutor isn’t positioned as a tutor substitute. Wiingy is explicit that human instructors remain central to the experience.
“Live tutoring is only the first part of learning,” said Asit Biswal, CEO of Wiingy, in the company’s announcement. “What matters is whether students retain and apply what they learn afterward.”
That framing matters. As schools, parents, and regulators grow cautious about AI-led instruction, Wiingy is leaning into a hybrid model—human expertise supported by automation that handles repetition and review.
Built-in study tools, not another subscription
One notable move: CoTutor is included at no additional cost for Wiingy users. In an ecosystem where AI study apps often come with monthly fees, Wiingy is bundling the feature directly into its core product.
That could put pressure on competitors that treat post-lesson review as an upsell rather than a default. It also lowers friction for students who might otherwise skip structured revision entirely.
From a product perspective, CoTutor looks less like a flashy AI assistant and more like an attempt to quietly fix a known failure point in online learning: forgetting.
A broader shift in how edtech measures success
The launch also reflects a wider change in education technology. Platforms are no longer judged only on access to tutors or content libraries. Retention, follow-through, and measurable outcomes are becoming the new benchmarks.
By focusing on micro-learning, active recall, and spaced repetition, Wiingy is aligning with learning science principles that many students struggle to apply on their own. CoTutor automates those habits instead of expecting learners to build them from scratch.
What to watch next
Wiingy operates across more than 180 countries and offers tutoring in hundreds of subjects, from math and coding to music and languages. That scale gives CoTutor a large, real-world testing ground.
If students actually use the post-session tools—and see better results—other tutoring platforms may be forced to rethink what “a lesson” really includes.
For now, CoTutor signals where tutoring platforms may be headed next: not more hours on calls, but smarter use of the time already spent.
Wiingy isn’t trying to make tutoring smarter during the lesson. It’s trying to make it harder to forget once the lesson is over.
