AI exam setting, without the paper chase.
Watahini drafts exam papers from your own curriculum, sends each one to an external examiner for sign-off, releases approved papers through a secure vault, and lets invigilators watch every sitting live.
Curriculum-grounded drafting
Papers are written from your own units, learning outcomes and past papers, with marks that balance to 100.
A whole timetable at once
Generate every paper on the exam timetable in one run, then work through them one by one.
External examiner rooms
Examiners review in a read-only room, comment and suggest changes. Nothing is final until a person approves.
Diagram Studio
Draw and label figures for the paper, so a question can point to Figure 1 and mean it.
Paper vault and QR printing
Approved papers are released under control and printed with a code anyone can verify.
Live camera monitoring
Invigilators watch each sitting on one console, with flags and evidence kept for the exam office.

Common questions
What is Watahini?
Watahini is exam-setting software for TVET institutions in Kenya. It uses AI to draft exam papers grounded in your curriculum and past papers, sends each paper to an external examiner for review and sign-off, releases approved papers through a secure paper vault, and lets invigilators watch each sitting live on camera.
What is AI exam setting?
AI exam setting means an AI model drafts the questions and marking scheme for a paper from your own curriculum and past papers, and people review, edit and approve it. In Watahini the exam controller and external examiners stay in charge: nothing is final until every examiner has signed off.
Does Watahini follow CDACC curricula?
Yes. Papers are grounded in your CDACC curriculum and past papers, printed in the CDACC layout, and show which learning outcomes each paper covers. KNEC and custom curricula are supported as well.
How does my institution get access?
Register your institution in three short steps: its details, its departments and curriculum frameworks, and the administrators who will run it. Each new administrator is emailed sign-in details and chooses their own password at first sign-in. They can then add exam controllers and invite external examiners.
Who can use the exam-setting console?
Exam controllers and external examiners at registered institutions that have the Watahini AI Exam Setting add-on enabled. Your institution administrator grants access to each person.
