About Khanmigo

Khanmigo is Khan Academy's purpose-built AI tutor, powered by GPT-4 and integrated directly into the Khan Academy learning platform. Unlike generic AI assistants, Khanmigo is designed to ask guiding questions and encourage critical thinking rather than simply providing answers, making it pedagogically aligned with effective tutoring practice. It supports subjects from mathematics and science to history and literature across K-12 and university-level content. For students, Khanmigo functions as a patient, always-available tutor that adapts to individual progress. It can help debug code in Khan Academy's programming environment, guide essay writing, and even engage in historical role-play exercises where the AI takes on the persona of historical figures to make learning interactive. The tool tracks conversation context to provide continuity across sessions. Teachers and schools gain access to a complementary suite of tools including lesson planning assistance, exit ticket generation, rubric creation, and progress summaries for individual students. Khanmigo for Teachers is available at no cost to educators, reflecting Khan Academy's nonprofit mission to provide free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. Khan Academy operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organisation headquartered in Mountain View, California. Student data privacy is a central concern: Khanmigo is designed to comply with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) and FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act), and OpenAI has committed not to train on data from Khan Academy's education API usage. Conversation logs are retained to support safety monitoring and product improvement under transparent data policies. Khanmigo is available to individual learners for $4 per month (billed annually at $44/year), with school and district licensing available at custom pricing. For regulated education institutions, Khan Academy signs Data Processing Agreements and School Service Provider agreements on request, making Khanmigo a credible choice for privacy-conscious schools and districts deploying AI in the classroom.
