Khanmigo
Khanmigo is Khan Academy’s AI tutor and teaching assistant, designed to guide learners toward answers rather than give them, with tools for teachers.
About this tool
Khanmigo is the AI assistant built by Khan Academy, the non-profit education platform. For learners it acts as a tutor across subjects such as maths, programming and writing, asking questions and nudging students to reason through problems instead of handing them the final answer.
For teachers, Khanmigo works as an assistant that helps with planning, preparing materials and writing tasks, with an emphasis on keeping teacher and student data private. Parents can use it to support homework at home. Classroom access for students is provided through school or district implementations rather than by individual teachers.
What you can do
Guided tutoring
Khanmigo responds to homework questions with hints and questions that lead students to find the answer themselves.
Teacher assistant
Teachers can use it to draft lesson materials, plan activities and handle routine tasks more quickly.
Writing practice
An AI-supported writing tool helps students practise and receive guidance on their writing.
School and district rollout
Districts can deploy Khanmigo to classrooms with expert-led support for adopting AI responsibly.
Who is it for?
- A student works through an algebra problem with hints instead of a ready answer.
- A teacher prepares a differentiated activity for a mixed-level class.
- A parent supports a child’s homework without doing it for them.
Before you choose
Teachers cannot give students access individually; classroom use requires a school or district agreement.
Like any AI tutor, it can make mistakes, so encourage students to check reasoning and ask a teacher when unsure.
