Khanmigo is an AI tutoring and teaching assistant developed by Khan Academy to bring personalized learning and educator support to the next level. Designed to act like a one-on-one tutor, Khanmigo helps students by guiding them through difficult concepts, encouraging critical thinking, and providing scaffolded hints rather than simply giving answers. For teachers, Khanmigo offers a set of robust tools: it can generate lesson ideas, quizzes, progress reports, and class activities aligned with Khan Academy’s curriculum, streamlining planning and reducing administrative burden.

Powered by advanced AI (including GPT-4), Khanmigo’s intelligence is grounded in Khan Academy’s trusted content library, which spans mathematics, science, coding, history, and more. This integration ensures that the assistance it provides is educationally relevant and pedagogically sound. Khanmigo also adapts to students’ learning pace and style, offering tailored help as they practice and reflect. Teachers can also use it to create engaging, standards-aligned lesson hooks (for example, using relatable topics like video games or pop culture) and to generate formative assessments.

Khan Academy has emphasized access and equity with Khanmigo: the tool is offered for free to teachers, helping them free up time to focus on teaching rather than paperwork. For students, there is a paid tier in some regions to support the nonprofit’s mission, though the core learning content of Khan Academy remains free. Throughout its rollout, Khan Academy has maintained a commitment to responsible AI usage: Khanmigo was launched initially as a limited pilot to gather feedback, improve safety, and maximize educational benefits. By embedding AI into learning, Khanmigo aims to enhance mastery, boost motivation, and support educators — all while preserving Khan Academy’s mission of providing high-quality education for everyone.
