Kinnu

A London-based learning app that uses expert-designed pathways and AI to help people learn subjects such as science, history and psychology.

About Kinnu

Kinnu is a learning app that creates tailored lessons on subjects such as science, history and psychology. Human experts build each course outline, which Kinnu calls a pathway, and AI helps pick out key ideas and write revision questions.

We did not find a formal mission statement. A 2023 news article quotes its chief executive Christopher Kahler saying the aim is to focus on 'accelerating the pace of human learning itself'. He argues many online platforms copy the worst parts of school.

A business-data profile lists Kinnu's headquarters as London, with 11 to 50 people. It lists a launch date of November 2021.

Kinnu was co-founded by Christopher Kahler, Abraham Muller and Hanna Celina, who previously worked at FutureLearn, Deliveroo and Google. Members can suggest edits to published pathways, a bit like Wikipedia. We did not find a list of values.

We did not find a graduate scheme or internship. The profile says jobs are listed at kinnu.xyz/join, so check there for current roles.
