Find your strengths.Find where they take you.
Fincho is an AI study companion for secondary students in Scotland, S1 to S6. Something to practise the moment you open it, 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 now, or shall I bring it back in a couple of days with new numbers?
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 brings it back.
Tomorrow the same question returns with different numbers. Then in a few days. Then it is gone.
It remembers.
Your subjects, your target grades, what you found hard in March. You never explain yourself twice.
One twig
a day.
Open it and Pip already has two or three things worth practising, and says why it picked each one. Get to the end of one 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 what you are taking, 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. That one answer tells Pip you are in Scotland, so it knows which stage you are at, which awarding body you sit and roughly when your terms run. Nobody fills in a form.
- 02
Say what you are taking.
Three questions, or a photo of your timetable if that is quicker. Pip reads the subjects off it and asks which ones you want to practise here.
- 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.
A twig on most days. By the end of S4 that is a nest built twig by twig, and a very clear view of what you are good at.
Built around the Scottish school year.
Prelims · Senior Phase choices
The diet · results day in August
- S1 to S3
Habits first
Short practice, small wins, and a quiet record of which subjects feel easy. Broad General Education, no exam course yet. Ready for Senior Phase choices in the spring of S3.
- S4
National 5
The first diet, sat a year earlier by age than a GCSE. Most courses carry an assignment with its own school deadline, not just the question papers. Prelims land in winter.
- S5
Higher
One year, one set of exams, and the grades most university offers are actually made on. Fincho keeps last year's Nat 5 gaps in view, because Higher builds straight on top of them.
- S6
Advanced Higher and UCAS
Deeper subjects with an investigation to run, alongside a UCAS application you are making with results in hand. Scottish degrees usually run four years, which changes what the entry requirements ask for.
Why not just use ChatGPT?
It will answer anything.
That is the problem.
It knows your actual course.
Course content comes from your own course specifications. The diet dates and results day come from Qualifications Scotland, each shown with the page it came from and the day we checked it. Term dates are the standard Scottish ones, right to about a week, which is closer than it sounds given all 32 councils set their own. A general model will still call it the SQA, which stopped existing in February 2026, and will hand you an English exam timetable without noticing.
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.
S1 to S6, the broad general education, National 5 in S4, Highers in S5 and Advanced Highers in S6, a diet that starts in April and results in August. Written for Scotland, not England's calendar with the words swapped.
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, when the next prelim is. Built around the Scottish school year, National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher.
