Direct answer

What is Khanmigo?

Khanmigo tutors students with guiding questions across Khan Academy content and helps teachers plan lessons, write rubrics, and generate materials.

Built by a nonprofit, Khanmigo is tuned to withhold direct answers and coach students through problems, with guardrails and activity logs for parents and teachers. The teacher assistant drafts lesson plans, exit tickets, and differentiated materials aligned to standards. District deployments add administration and reporting.
