01 — Overview

What is Khanmigo?

Khanmigo is the AI tutor and teaching assistant from Khan Academy, the nonprofit known for free lessons. Instead of just giving answers, it asks guiding questions, which is designed to make students do the thinking while still getting help when stuck.

It ties into Khan Academy's exercises and videos, offers writing and homework support, and gives parents and teachers visibility into chats. Teachers get a free assistant for lesson plans and rubrics, while families pay a small monthly fee. It is built on large language models and focused mainly on K-12 learners.
