Gyanis FAQ: the AI study app for KCSE & CBC

Gyanis is the study OS for students preparing for KCSE, KJSEA & CBC. Four pillars sit on one screen: Flow for daily study, Aura for coach bookings, Vibe for Ask-an-Expert tutoring, and OneByZero for the student marketplace. One Gyanis Credits (GC) balance runs all four.

Yes. Every drill, mindmap, and Gameplan entry in Flow is tagged to KCSE, KJSEA, KPSEA, CBC by class, subject, unit, and topic. Complete KCSE and KJSEA preparation aligned with the KICD syllabus, plus KPSEA and CBC support across primary and junior school.

No. Gyanis is a study workspace. Teachers still teach. Coaches still coach. Flow handles the daily practice, the mindmap of a chapter, and the next-question decision; a human handles the conversation that matters.

Flow is the study workspace. Ten tools on one screen: AI Chat for doubts, Drills for KCSE, KJSEA & CBC MCQs tagged to your syllabus, Arena mock exams, Express grading, Lab, Virtual Classroom, MindMaps for a chapter tree in under ten seconds, Gameplan for the Mission, Battle, Conquered, Replay label on every topic, MoodBoard for saved formulas, and Pulse for time on task and accuracy by topic. Flow is free to start with a 7-day trial; paid plans provide access subject to plan usage limits.

Aura is a directory of Kenya Counselling Association registered coaches. Sessions run on video; session length and GC price are set by each coach and quoted before you confirm. The student keeps a written takeaway from every session. Parental visibility is on for minor accounts.

Vibe is the Ask-an-Expert tutoring marketplace, plus Lingo for language learning. The student sets the price when they raise their hand, and it is per session, never per minute. Funds sit in Gyanis Credits until the session completes, then release to the expert. If no expert accepts, the student gets the full amount back. Available in English, Swahili.

A rule engine, not a black box. Two correct answers in a row move difficulty up. One slip at the new level moves it back down. Gameplan relabels a topic Mission, Battle, Conquered, or Replay from the last three days of accuracy and the last five days of speed. Coach-copilot ranks the next best action using a lightweight rule engine over anonymised drill events.

National assessments (KCSE, KJSEA, KPSEA), the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC, now called Competency-Based Education or CBE), and international curricula (IGCSE, IB) available in Kenyan schools. Every question is tagged by syllabus, class, subject, unit, and topic, so filters work at the topic level, not the chapter level.

Gyanis deducts a 5% commission from the settled session amount before crediting the teacher or coach. It is included in the student’s session price, not added on top. GC rounding and minimum-fee rules apply; any withdrawal fee is separate and shown before withdrawal.

Gyanis is free to start, and you pay only for the pillars you use. Flow opens with a 7-day trial; after that, paid plans provide access subject to plan usage limits. Vibe is priced per session and set by the student, with funds held in Gyanis Credits and refunded in full if no expert accepts. Aura is priced per session, quoted before you confirm. No card required to start.

You load GC once and spend across Flow, Aura, Vibe, and OneByZero. Pricing is shown in the wallet before purchase, in local currency. School and institution packs have volume pricing. Contact support for a quote.

Aura refunds depend on acceptance, cancellation timing and attendance. Cancelling a pending request or an accepted session outside the late-cancellation window returns the full amount; the cancellation preview shows any late penalty before confirmation. Vibe returns the full amount if no expert accepts, or if you cancel within the allowed grace window before the session starts. OneByZero orders carry a 48-hour claim window, and seller earnings settle to the GC wallet only after delivery is confirmed.

Yes, as a web app that runs on any modern mobile browser. Dedicated iOS and Android apps are in build, with offline support for mindmaps and drill sets.

On paid plans, you can download mindmaps and drill sets for offline use. Live features (Chat, Aura, Vibe expert sessions) need the internet.

Kenya Data Protection Act 2019 compliant. Study data builds your personal mastery map and nothing else. Never sold. Never used to train a public model. Encryption is TLS in transit and AES at rest. Aura session notes are confidential and scoped to the student and coach.

Yes. Pulse gives the parent the same page the student sees: time on task by day, accuracy by topic, and predicted score against the target. No quizzing at the dinner table needed.

Minor accounts require guardian consent before Aura, Vibe, or OneByZero is switched on. Content filters are on by default and can be tightened at the class level. Aura coaches are Kenya Counselling Association registered. Full detail is in the AI Safety Guidelines.

Aura connects a student to a named Kenya Counselling Association registered coach for a video session; session length and GC price are set by each coach. The student chooses the coach by specialisation, language, and availability. The session ends with a written takeaway and, if the student wants, a booking for the next one. Specialised support covers KCSE, KJSEA & CBC stress, burnout, and academic anxiety.

All Aura Coaches serving Kenya are registered with the Kenya Counselling Association and work with students on academic pressure and wellbeing. Every coach has at least three years of experience with students, and every profile lists specialisation and language so you can pick by fit, not by queue.

A teacher builds a question paper in minutes, tagged by class, unit, and topic, and exports it as a print-ready PDF. Pulse shows accuracy and weak topics by class and by student, so the teacher knows who needs the extra five minutes. Digital drills update Pulse automatically; a printed paper feeds it only when the results are recorded in Gyanis.

Yes. The teacher view shows per-student accuracy, time on task, and Gameplan labels for the cohort. Every data point a teacher sees is the same data point the parent and the student see. No parallel stories.

Class-level rollouts, with role-based access for teachers, students, and parents. Onboarding runs as a 120-minute workshop in the classroom, followed by a three-month pilot with cohort dashboards and export-ready reports. Guardian consent is captured at enrolment.

Yes. The 120-minute AI literacy workshop for Grades 6 to 12 is free. Teachers walk out with a lesson plan and the deck. Book at gyanis.ai/school-workshop.

Yes. KCSE, KJSEA, KPSEA and the Competency-Based Curriculum, rebranded Competency-Based Education in April 2025, are tagged to the KICD syllabus by grade, subject, unit and topic. Senior school learners filter drills by the subjects in their pathway.

Gyanis is not a KNEC past-paper archive. It gives you Drills tagged to the KICD syllabus that adapt to your score, Arena mock exams under time, and Pulse to show which topics you keep missing. Use past papers for the paper format; use Gyanis to close the gaps they expose.

Tuition is priced per hour or per month. Vibe is priced per session and the student sets the price when raising a hand. Credits stay in the wallet until the session ends; if no expert accepts, the full amount comes back. Sessions run on video.

All Aura Coaches serving Kenya are registered with the Kenya Counselling Association and work with students on academic pressure and wellbeing. Aura is coaching, not medical treatment, and not an emergency service; in an emergency call 999. Sessions run on video and end with a written takeaway.

Yes. Pulse shows time on task by day, accuracy by topic and the next topic Gameplan will open. School-based assessment scores still come from the school; Gyanis shows what the learner practises at home.

Yes. The 120-minute AI literacy workshop is free for schools teaching learners aged 11 to 18. Examples are adapted to the KICD syllabus when the school shares its grades and subjects at booking, and teachers leave with the deck and a lesson plan.
