What is Khanmigo?
Khanmigo is an AI-powered tutor and teaching assistant developed by the nonprofit Khan Academy, powered by advanced models like GPT-4, designed to deliver personalized education responsibly. Launched as an experimental pilot in 2023, it embodies founder Sal Khan's vision of providing every student with a world-class tutor by using the Socratic method—guiding learners through questions rather than direct answers—to build critical thinking, independence, and confidence across subjects like math, science, humanities, SAT prep, and writing.
Primarily for students, teachers, and districts, Khanmigo serves learners by tracking progress, offering hints, and facilitating engaging activities such as debating topics or chatting with historical figures, all within a safe 'walled garden' that records interactions for parental oversight. For educators, it offers over 25 tools to streamline workflows, including lesson plan generators, rubric creators, IEP assistants, and performance analytics, freeing time for student connections. Its value lies in democratizing high-quality, adaptive instruction, reducing administrative burdens, and enhancing outcomes through innovative, curriculum-integrated AI.
