Khanmigo

What is Khanmigo?

Teachers get the best deal here: Khan Academy makes the teacher tools free in 44 countries and territories, funded through its Microsoft partnership, so lesson plans, rubrics, exit tickets and progress reports cost nothing. Learners pay $4 a month, but that side is US-only and requires a US billing address, and student classroom access runs through school or district agreements rather than individual signup. If you teach or tutor, spend an hour building one unit with the teacher tools before judging it.

Three things Khanmigo does best

1. It refuses to just give the answer

   Khanmigo is built to guide students to the answer through questioning rather than produce it, which is the opposite of how most chatbots behave. That design is the point for schools worried about homework shortcuts, and it also makes Khanmigo slower for a student who only wants the solution.

2. A dozen teacher tools, free to use

   The free teacher account covers lesson planning aligned to standards, rubrics, exit tickets, quiz questions, learning objectives, student groupings, class newsletters and multilingual family emails. These are the administrative tasks that eat evenings, and none of them require a school purchase or district approval to start using.

3. Tied to Khan Academy's actual course content

   Tutoring runs on top of Khan Academy's existing lessons and exercises, so a student gets help inside the same math or science course they are already working through, not a standalone chat. Khanmigo also reviews code in JavaScript, HTML, Python and SQL, and coaches writing with feedback and debate.
