Khanmigo

Khanmigo is Khan Academy's AI-powered tutoring assistant, built to support student learning without doing students' work for them. Unlike most AI assistants that provide direct answers, Khanmigo uses the Socratic method — it responds to student questions with guiding questions that lead them toward understanding, preserving the learning process.

Khanmigo is tightly integrated with Khan Academy's curriculum, covering K-12 math, science, history, grammar, SAT prep, and computing. The product line has expanded beyond the original tutor: Khan Academy now offers a separate Writing Coach product (marked as new), career coaching, college-admissions coaching, and a code reviewer for JavaScript, HTML, Python, and SQL with voice input and output. The site now separates offerings for individual learners, families, and school districts.

For students working through Khan Academy exercises, Khanmigo can guide them step-by-step without revealing the answer, and it offers writing feedback and general tutoring across subjects. For teachers, Khanmigo provides lesson planning tied to Khan Academy's content library, on-demand summaries of student work, learning objectives, rubrics, exit tickets, and chat history — all included in the free teacher tier.

Pricing: Khanmigo is free for teachers, with no subscription required; Khan Academy's own pages give conflicting figures for how many countries this free teacher access covers (44+ on one page, 180+ on a blog post), so the exact reach is unclear. Individual student access and family access are each priced at $4 per month or $44 per year, with sales tax not included. Schools and districts can get a custom-quoted 'Khanmigo District Tools' tier that adds student access, district data, co-teaching support, rostering, and SSO (Clever SecureSync or ClassLink), with a dedicated customer success manager. Some school districts provide free student access to Khanmigo through these district agreements.

Limitations: Khanmigo intentionally will not do homework for students, which is a deliberate pedagogical choice but can frustrate users expecting direct answers. Coverage is largely tied to Khan Academy's own curriculum and product suite, and district-level pricing is not published. Best suited for K-12 students who want a guided tutor for math and science homework, parents supplementing school learning, and teachers who want free AI assistance for lesson planning and student communication.
