Khanmigo

An AI learning assistant from Khan Academy, covering K-12 through college courses with personalized tutoring and writing feedback.

Khanmigo is an AI learning assistant from Khan Academy that, as of 2026, covers the major subjects from K-12 through college. Its core philosophy is “Socratic teaching”—instead of handing out answers, it guides students to think for themselves and discover solutions through questioning. For example, when a student asks “How do I solve this problem?”, Khanmigo responds with “What do you think the first step should be?”, then walks them through the solution step by step. This design keeps students from simply copying answers and genuinely promotes learning. Khanmigo covers math, science (physics/chemistry/biology), history, writing, and coding, offering personalized learning paths (dynamically adjusting difficulty based on student level), real-time feedback (instant grading for writing and coding assignments), and teacher tools (auto-generating lesson plans, grading, and learning analytics).

The personal plan costs $44/year (about $3.67/month) for students and parents, with tutoring across all subjects; the teacher plan is free (as a nonprofit, Khan Academy funds its teacher tools through donations). Khanmigo’s pricing is exceptionally low among online education tools, reflecting Khan Academy’s mission of “free education.”

In terms of its niche, Khanmigo differentiates itself from general-purpose AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude. General AI hands you answers, while Khanmigo guides your thinking; general AI lacks educational expertise, while Khanmigo is built on 15 years of Khan Academy’s educational content and pedagogy. Its typical users are K-12 students (math/science homework help), college students (writing and coding feedback), and teachers (lesson prep and grading). It’s a great fit for users who need a systematic AI learning assistant with strong educational expertise.

Note: Currently available in English only (Spanish is in pilot); Socratic questioning requires students to bring some initiative, so it’s not suited for completely passive learners; the free version has limited features (a daily limit on conversations); writing feedback currently supports English writing only.
