What is Khanmigo?

Khanmigo is Khan Academy's AI-powered tutor and teaching assistant designed to support both students and educators. For students, it offers one-to-one tutoring across maths, science, and other subjects, answering questions and guiding learners through problems step-by-step. For teachers, it functions as a classroom assistant, helping with lesson planning, marking, and providing feedback on student work. The tool integrates with Khan Academy's existing video content and exercises, making it a natural fit for users already familiar with the platform. Unlike generic chatbots, Khanmigo understands educational context and is trained to avoid simply giving answers, instead encouraging students to think through problems themselves.
