Introducing CoTutor: Extending Learning Beyond the Live Lesson

At Wiingy, our mission has always been clear: make sure learners don’t just start learning, but actually finish what they start. Over the years, we’ve helped students across 350+ subjects –  from music, languages, math, test prep etc  –  learn directly from expert human tutors through live, personalized sessions.

Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of CoTutor, our AI-powered learning companion designed to transform how students retain and master educational content beyond live tutoring sessions.

CoTutor represents our commitment to ensuring learners actually finish and retain what they start learning. 

While our expert tutors deliver engaging, personalized lessons as the foundation of the learning journey, CoTutor provides the crucial second phase – It transforms every tutoring session into an ongoing, adaptive learning experience –  helping learners retain more, revise smarter, and stay engaged between lessons.

This launch marks an important evolution in how we think about learning outcomes: not just teaching concepts, but ensuring they stick.

Why CoTutor Was Built

The problem we set out to solve

Even with excellent tutors and engaging live sessions, we observed a persistent challenge: learning decay after class.

Research shows that learners can forget up to 70% of newly learned information within 24 hours if it isn’t reinforced, and retention can drop to nearly 25% within a week. This “forgetting curve” isn’t about lack of effort or ability –  it’s simply how human memory works.

“We recognized that even our most engaging tutors couldn’t solve the retention problem alone. The gap between live sessions is where knowledge fades and motivation drops. That’s the precise problem CoTutor was built to address.”

— [Asit Biswal, Founder & CEO, Wiingy]

In practice, this means students often:

• Struggle to recall what was taught in the previous session
• Spend valuable class time re-learning instead of progressing
• Lose confidence and momentum between lessons
• Drop off before completing their learning journey

At Wiingy, we believe learning isn’t complete if it fades after the lesson or stops halfway. 

CoTutor was built to directly address this gap.

Why human + AI, not just AI

We deliberately chose augmentation over automation.

Human tutors bring empathy, adaptability, and motivation –  things no AI should replace. But AI excels at consistency, personalization at scale, and reinforcement.

CoTutor is designed to amplify the tutor’s impact, not substitute it. The tutor sparks understanding during the live session; CoTutor ensures that understanding is reinforced, revisited, and retained afterward.

This human-AI combination allows us to support learners continuously, without increasing tutor workload or learner effort.

What CoTutor Is and What It Offers

CoTutor is seamlessly integrated into the Wiingy learning experience and is built directly on top of the actual tutor-student interaction.

After each live lesson, CoTutor automatically transforms the session into multiple personalized learning formats:

Personalized podcast summaries

Each session becomes a custom audio recap that students can listen to while commuting, exercising, or doing chores. Research confirms that students rate podcasts as excellent educational tools for their flexibility and ability to boost motivation.

AI-generated lesson summaries and key learnings

Clear, structured written summaries highlight the most important takeaways from the session, eliminating the need for manual note-taking.

Interactive quizzes for active recall

Learners are prompted to retrieve information from memory –  a proven technique that significantly improves long-term retention compared to passive review.

Smart flashcards with spaced repetition

Key concepts are converted into flashcards and surfaced at scientifically optimized intervals, helping learners interrupt the forgetting curve.

Next-lesson recommendations

Based on lesson transcripts and performance, CoTutor suggests what to revise next or which topics to focus on, creating a guided learning path.

Together, these features turn a single tutoring session into a multi-modal, week-long learning experience.

How CoTutor Is Built – and How Learners Benefit

CoTutor is built using lesson transcripts generated from live tutor-student interactions. These transcripts act as the foundation for all downstream learning materials.

Because everything is generated from the learner’s own session:

• Revision content is highly relevant
• Examples and explanations match what was taught
• Weak areas receive more focus
• Learning feels personal, not generic

This approach allows CoTutor to embed evidence-based learning science –  such as active recall and spaced repetition –  directly into the learner’s routine, without requiring extra discipline or planning.

For learners, this results in:

• Stronger retention and confidence
• Less re-learning and frustration
• Better preparedness for the next class
• Learning that fits into real life, not rigid schedules

For tutors, it means students arrive more prepared, allowing sessions to progress faster and go deeper –  improving outcomes on both sides.

Benefits: From Retention to Masters

For Learners

• Stronger Retention: Offers up to a 200% improvement.
• Personalized Support: Provides tailored content.
• Flexible Learning: Enables users to learn anywhere.
• Continuous Engagement: Results in reduced dropout rates.

For Tutors

• Less re-teaching, faster progress with prepared students
• Clear insights on student progress and weak areas
• Reduced prep and follow-up work through automation
• Better outcomes leading to enhanced reputation
• Students arrive better prepared to each session
• More time for advanced concepts and deeper learning

Early Results and What’s Next

Early internal usage signals are promising.

Learners using CoTutor are revisiting lesson content more frequently, engaging with revision in shorter, more consistent bursts, and reporting higher confidence going into subsequent sessions. Tutors are seeing reduced recap time and smoother progression across lessons.

Looking ahead, CoTutor will continue to evolve with:

• Deeper personalization based on learner behavior
• Smarter insights for tutors to adapt lesson planning
• Expanded support across subjects and learning styles

Most importantly, CoTutor represents Wiingy’s long-term commitment to outcome-driven learning.

We don’t believe learning ends when the class ends. With CoTutor, learning becomes continuous, adaptive, and truly complete.
