What Khanmigo does
Khanmigo is Khan Academy's AI learning assistant for guided tutoring, writing practice, teacher preparation, and parent-supported learning.
Khanmigo is more useful as an interactive learning layer than as a general answer bot. Its learner activities can discuss academic questions, coach writing, and guide problem solving with questions and hints. Teacher Tools address preparation tasks such as lesson hooks, objectives, rubrics, and differentiation. Parent subscriptions support an adult working alongside children, while district deployments connect the tutor to managed Khan Academy learning and school oversight.
Individual Learner and Parent subscriptions are currently $4 monthly and require a U.S. billing address. A person must be 18 or have a parent or guardian register them. Eligible adult school personnel can use the English-language Teacher Tools free in the United States and selected locales. District Enterprise Starter is $10 per student per year for up to 1,000 licenses; larger Enterprise arrangements are quoted and add rostering, administrator reporting, professional learning, and moderation flags.
The tutor can still misunderstand a question or produce an incorrect explanation. Khan Academy tells educators to fact-check output, avoid personally identifiable information in Teacher Tools, and not rely predominantly on AI for assessments or student decisions. Families and schools should choose the correct supervised access path, review conversation and reporting controls, and keep a qualified educator responsible for instruction, accommodations, safety, and high-stakes judgments.
How Khanmigo works
Khanmigo combines a learner's question and Khan Academy context with a large language model, then responds with prompts, hints, explanations, or feedback intended to keep the learner thinking. Teacher and parent experiences use separate task flows, while managed district access adds reporting and moderation controls.
Start from the learner and assigned material
The learner selects a Khan Academy topic or describes a question, writing task, or problem. Khanmigo combines that prompt with account role and available course context; families and schools should use the correct supervised access path and exclude unnecessary personal information.
Use questions and hints to develop reasoning
The model responds as a tutor by asking a next question, offering a hint, explaining a concept, or coaching a draft rather than always supplying a finished answer. The learner shows work and tests understanding, while recognizing that fluent guidance can still contain mistakes.
Apply the idea in the learning activity
The student revises reasoning, attempts another problem, or improves writing against the lesson. Teacher and parent tools support planning or involvement through separate experiences; district deployments can add managed rostering, reporting, and moderation signals.
Check understanding and protect judgment
A learner or responsible adult compares important claims with the course and reputable sources. Educators review progress, accommodations, safety, and possible misconceptions, avoid using AI as the predominant basis for assessment, and correct the learning plan before continuing.
How to set up Khanmigo
Choose the correct access path
Select Learner, Parent, eligible free Teacher Tools, or a district-managed license; confirm location, age, language, billing, and school-policy requirements before registration.
Create or connect Khan Academy
Sign in with the appropriate Khan Academy account, have a parent register a minor where required, or use district rostering and sign-on provided by the school.
Set one bounded learning goal
Choose a Khan Academy topic, assignment, writing task, or teacher-planning objective and state the level, constraints, and evidence the response should use.
Practice through dialogue
Ask for a hint or explanation, show intermediate reasoning, answer Khanmigo's questions, and compare guidance with the assigned lesson instead of requesting a finished submission.
Review learning and data
Have an adult or educator check facts, fit, and student progress; avoid unnecessary personal data and use district reports or parent involvement without treating AI output as assessment evidence.
