Find your strengths.Find where they take you.
Fincho is an AI study companion for secondary students in Northern Ireland, Year 8 to Year 14. A plan for today, a twig on the nest, and a clear view all the way to university.
A conversation, not a worksheet.
Everything happens in the chat.
The sidebar just gets you there faster.
Want to redo Q7 with me now, or shall I put brackets in tomorrow's plan?
It asks first.
A hint before an answer. The full working only after three honest tries, and it makes a note.
It finds the pattern.
Three wrong answers become one habit to fix. The school app gave you 18/40 and stopped.
It puts it in the plan.
Tomorrow gets two bracket questions with different numbers. Next week, one more. Then it is gone.
It remembers.
Your timetable, your subjects, what you found hard in March. You never explain yourself twice.
One twig
a day.
Every morning Pip reads your timetable and gives you three things you can actually finish. Do them, and a twig goes on your nest. Miss a day, and the nest just waits.
Meet Pip
A companion,
not a teacher.
Pip is a finch: small, curious, always building. It knows your timetable, remembers what you found hard last week, and asks before it tells. Get a question wrong and it gives you a hint, not the answer. Get stuck three times and it will just show you, and make a note to bring it back next week.
How it works
No forms. Pip finds the rest.
- 01
Say your school.
Type a few letters and pick it. Pip looks up the term dates, the awarding body and the year groups for you, so nobody fills in a form.
- 02
Snap your timetable.
A photo is enough. Week A and Week B, the lot. From then on every plan is built around what you actually have tomorrow.
- 03
Tell it how school went.
Got 18 out of 40 on a test? The school app stops there. Pip asks which questions, works out the pattern, and brings the same idea back with different numbers until it sticks.
- 04
Watch the nest grow.
Three things a day, most days. By Year 12 that is a nest built twig by twig, and a very clear view of what you are good at.
Built around the Northern Ireland school year.
Mocks · GCSE options
AS in Year 13 · A2 in Year 14
- Year 8 to 10
Habits first
Daily plans, small wins, and a quiet record of which subjects feel easy. Year 8 here is the first year of secondary, the one England calls Year 7. Ready for GCSE options in Year 10.
- Year 11 to 12
GCSE
Specification tracked topic by topic, marked against CCEA's own mark schemes. Grades run A* to G with a C* between B and C, which is roughly where England's grade 5 sits. Worth knowing before you compare a cousin's results.
- Year 13
AS
AS is not a side qualification here. It is sat at the end of Year 13 and carries about 40 per cent of the final A Level, so a bad January leaves a mark you spend Year 14 working off.
- Year 14
A2 and UCAS
The other 60 per cent, and a UCAS application running at the same time. Predicted grades go up against real entry requirements, so the university list stays honest.
Why not just use ChatGPT?
It will answer anything.
That is the problem.
It knows your actual course.
Topic content comes from the specifications your school actually entered you for, whichever awarding body that is. Term dates come from your school's own website, deadlines from UCAS. Every one is shown with the page it came from and the day we checked it. A general model will put you in the wrong year: ask it what happens in Year 12 and it will answer for a sixteen year old in England.
It only talks about learning.
Pip stays on school. Anything else gets one friendly sentence and a nudge back. Answers come after hints, and when it does give the working it says so. You are not handing a thirteen year old an open-ended chatbot and hoping.
It is written for your system.
Year 8 to 14, A* to G with the C* between B and C, papers at the end of Year 13 that already count towards the final grade, and the earliest summer holiday in the UK. Written for Northern Ireland, not borrowed.
Habits, not
homework
policing.
Parents see the shape of the week, not the chat. Which days were done without a nudge, which subject got asked about most, what the next exam milestone is. Built around the Northern Ireland school year, CCEA GCSEs, AS and A2.
