Khanmigo
Khan Academy's AI-powered tutor and teaching assistant for guided learning, teacher prep, lesson planning, rubrics, exit tickets, student-work summaries, writing practice, coding help, and district AI adoption.
TLDR
Decision summary
Try: Worth trying for educators, families, and districts wanting tutoring-focused AI on Khan Academy content; not a general workplace assistant or unsupervised student rollout without access and data-control review.
Best use
- Teacher prep
- Guided tutoring
Skip or wait if
- General workplace teams that need broad writing, coding, research, file analysis, or business workflow support
- Schools that want teachers to directly grant student access without a district implementation or parent path
- Pricing posture
- Teachers: free; individual learners and families: $4/month or $44/year before tax; Khanmigo District Tools: request pricingRead full pricing details
- Privacy/security
- High: Khanmigo is an education AI product that can involve children, student work, teacher prompts, parent accounts, moderation alerts, district rostering, classroom progress data, and school SSO. Khan Academy positions Khanmigo around safety and learning, but buyers should treat student-data and minor-access review as high stakes before rollout.
- Main caveat
- Teachers cannot independently grant students access; classroom student access is available through school or district implementations, while under-18 learners need a parent/guardian path or district partnership.
