Khanmigo is Khan Academy's AI tutor powered by GPT-4 — widely regarded as the best example of AI used responsibly in education.
What Makes Khanmigo Different
- Uses the Socratic method — asks questions rather than giving answers directly
- Guides students to discover solutions instead of bypassing learning
- Covers math, science, history, coding, SAT prep, and more
- Includes teacher tools — lesson planning, progress monitoring, parent communication drafts
Key Design Principle
Khanmigo refuses to just give students answers. Instead it asks: "What do you think the first step might be?" — preserving the cognitive struggle that creates actual learning.
