LearnWise AI Wins Bronze at the QS Reimagine Education Awards 2025

At this year’s QS Reimagine Education Awards, the theme “Mind the Gap – It’s Getting Wider” underscored one of the most pressing challenges in higher education: the accelerating divide between institutions that embrace innovation and those that struggle to keep pace.

Institutions are navigating rising expectations from students, the rapid evolution of AI, changing workforce needs, and growing pressures on staff. This year’s conference agenda reflected that urgency, exploring responsible AI practices, the skills economy, future-ready leadership, digital transformation, inclusive learning environments, and ethical, sustainable approaches to teaching and assessment.

Against this backdrop, we are proud to share that LearnWise AI has been awarded the Bronze Award in the AI in Education category at the QS Reimagine Education Awards 2025.

Chosen from more than 1,600 submissions, and evaluated through four rigorous review rounds by a global panel of 1,300 higher education and edtech experts, this recognition highlights our impact, our dedication to ethical AI, and our commitment to helping institutions bridge the widening digital and pedagogical gap.

Why does this award matter, and why now?

Receiving a Bronze Award in AI in Education at QS Reimagine Education is a meaningful acknowledgment of the work happening across our partner institutions, and of the growing importance of AI that is not only powerful, but responsible, context-aware, and designed for real educational environments.

Our application stood out for its innovation, impact, and scalability, as well as for our unique approach within the category. While many AI projects in this space focus on specific solutions or chatbot-only experiences, LearnWise AI was recognized for being a comprehensive, all-in-one AI platform that supports the entire student journey.

Beyond the chatbot: a unified AI platform for the whole campus

One of the reasons this award means so much to our team is, it validates the approach we’ve believed in from day one: AI in education must be integrated and must adapt to each institution’s needs, not the other way around.

LearnWise is the only AI platform in this year’s AI in Education category offering a unified ecosystem of:

• AI Tutor - delivering personalized, course-aligned academic support
• AI Feedback & Grader - helping educators enhance feedback and assessment workflows
• AI Campus Assistant - providing 24/7, role-aware support across systems and departments

While many AI tools in education often focus on a single, individual need or isolated workflows, LearnWise expands on this principle by bringing these capabilities together by providing a flexible, end-to-end platform: 

One platform, not ten tools

Instead of managing scattered AI point solutions, institutions centralize all capabilities in LearnWise, reducing cost, complexity, and governance burden.

Institution-aware, not generic

LearnWise understands and operates within the institution’s curriculum, policies, systems, and context with its walled-garden approach, increasing accuracy and reducing risk.

Customizable and flexible for every institution

Institutions can tailor prompts, resources, workflows, model behavior, data access rules, and integration pathways, ensuring the AI reflects their academic values, assessment culture, pedagogical approaches, and student support practices.

Purpose-built for higher ed

While many AI products retrofit general-purpose models into education, LearnWise is built from the ground up with academic integrity, teaching excellence, and governance at its core.

Secure and policy-driven

Flexible governance controls allow institutions to define how AI should behave for different user groups, courses, or academic contexts.

Educators and students shouldn’t have to navigate multiple tools to receive the help they need. By bringing tutoring, support, and assessment together, LearnWise helps institutions provide a consistent, intelligent, and accessible learning experience at scale, all built on secure, ethical foundations and designed specifically for higher education. This award affirms the value of that vision.

Shaping the future of higher education with responsible, ethical AI

This year’s conference themes resonated deeply with us, especially the focus on:

Responsible and strategic AI adoption

From ethical implications to human-centered assessment, institutions are seeking ways to deploy AI that strengthen, rather than weaken, academic integrity and meaningful learning while empowering educators with oversight and control. LearnWise is built with guardrails, transparency, and pedagogical grounding at its core.

Holistic digital transformation

From omnichannel campuses to immersive learning, institutions are rethinking the environments students inhabit. From omnichannel support to classroom learning to operational efficiency, LearnWise is designed to be the connective layer across systems and experiences.

Access, inclusion, and wellbeing

Supporting neurodivergent learners, increasing access to timely help, and ensuring student wellbeing were central themes, and remain core principles in LearnWise’s product design. 

Sustainability and ethical decision-making

Institutions are increasingly intentional about values-driven education and the long-term ethical impact of their choices. These themes are not separate from our mission, they are foundational to it: LearnWise aims to help institutions adopt AI responsibly, without compromising their values or introducing undue risk.

Building the future of education together

The 2025 award winners and shortlisted projects exhibited a common thread: a commitment to innovation, accessibility, and future-readiness. These are the same qualities we prioritize when building LearnWise AI, and seeing them reflected across the global education community is inspiring.

To be recognized among such impactful projects and dedicated teams is an honor. We are proud to contribute to a community of educators, innovators, and institutions working to close the gaps highlighted in this year’s theme, and to do so in a way that places ethics, inclusion, and learner wellbeing at the forefront.

Regard vers l'avenir

This Bronze Award, issued by the QS Reimagine Education team, is a milestone for LearnWise, but it is also a signal of what comes next.

AI in education is evolving quickly. Institutions need integrated, trustworthy, and pedagogically grounded solutions, not quick fixes. Our work is to continue supporting them with the solutions, insights, and responsible AI frameworks they need to build future-ready learning ecosystems.

Thank you to our partner institutions, the educators who co-design with us, and the judges who recognized our work. We look forward to continuing the journey together.
