Khanmigo

Khanmigo is Khan Academy's AI-powered tutoring assistant, built specifically 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, which covers K-12 math, science, history, grammar, SAT prep, and computing. When a student is working through a Khan Academy exercise and gets stuck, Khanmigo can guide them through the problem step-by-step without revealing the answer. It also provides writing feedback, essay coaching, and general tutoring across subjects. For teachers, Khanmigo offers lesson planning, discussion question generation, and parent communication drafting.

Key capabilities include Socratic tutoring across all Khan Academy subjects, essay writing coaching and feedback, SAT prep assistance, lesson plan generation for teachers, discussion question generation, and parent communication templates.

Pricing: Khanmigo is free for teachers (no subscription required). Students can access Khanmigo at $4 per month or $44 per year. Khan Academy's partnership with Anthropic and Microsoft subsidizes access. Some school districts provide Khanmigo free to all students through institutional agreements.

Limitations: Khanmigo is constrained to supporting learning — it intentionally will not do homework for students, which is the right pedagogical choice but frustrating for users expecting a general-purpose AI. Coverage is limited to Khan Academy's curriculum scope.

Best suited for K-12 students who want a guided tutor for math and science homework, parents supplementing school learning, and teachers who want AI assistance for lesson planning and student communication.
