Khanmigo

Khanmigo is an AI-powered tutoring and teaching assistant from Khan Academy, designed specifically for education rather than general-purpose chatting. It targets three main groups: learners (including homeschoolers), classroom teachers, and parents who want structured homework help for their children. Under the hood it uses GPT-4 (according to Khan Academy’s own descriptions) but is tightly constrained and guided by Khan Academy’s curriculum and pedagogy.

For teachers, Khanmigo acts as a planning and workflow assistant that can create standards-aligned materials tied to Khan Academy’s content. For learners and parents, it behaves like a patient tutor that asks questions, nudges students toward the answer, and avoids simply solving problems for them. Getting started is done via the web: teachers sign up for free teacher tools, parents purchase a monthly or annual subscription and can enable access for up to 10 children, and districts work through a separate partnership program to enable classroom-wide access.

Khanmigo is strongest if you already use or value Khan Academy’s ecosystem. Because it’s integrated with Khan Academy’s content library and tuned for education, it tends to stay on-topic, emphasize understanding, and prioritize safety for under‑18 learners. Teacher-focused tools can significantly cut down repetitive prep work such as building rubrics, lesson plans, and exit tickets. Parents report that it can make homework time more efficient by acting as a tutor that explains “why” rather than just producing answers.

However, this is not a general-purpose AI agent that automates tasks across multiple apps or executes actions on your behalf; it’s primarily a guided conversation and content-generation tool inside Khan Academy’s environment. Access for students is tightly controlled: individual teachers cannot directly turn Khanmigo on for their classes, and classroom use currently requires a school or district implementation. The site emphasizes privacy and safety but does not, in the content provided, spell out data retention policies or technical security details. Pricing for family subscriptions and district deployments is not fully transparent in the public marketing copy, so you’ll need to check inside your account or contact Khan Academy for exact costs. If you’re looking for an open, customizable agent platform or a developer-focused AI API, this tool is not designed for that use case.
