Khanmigo is an AI tutor from Khan Academy for K-12 students, built on OpenAI's GPT-4 and designed as a Socratic guide rather than an answer machine. It helps children think through math, science, and writing problems while giving parents moderation tools and chat history.
Core Features

- Deep integration with Khan Academy's library across math, science, reading, writing, coding, and SAT prep.
- Writing Coach gives structured feedback on essays and arguments without rewriting the work for the student.
- Image upload for handwritten math and science problems, plus voice input and read-aloud responses for younger learners.
- Teacher and parent dashboards with progress tracking, lesson-plan generation, and content moderation alerts.
Best For
- K-12 students who need patient, unlimited tutoring in math, science, and test prep at home.

- Classroom teachers who can use Khanmigo free for lesson planning and student progress summaries.
Pricing
Khanmigo costs $4 per month or $44 per year for a parent or learner subscription that covers up to 10 children. Teacher access is free for eligible educators through Khan Academy. School and district licensing is custom-priced with admin controls and reporting. The Khan Academy content library remains 100% free.
Our Take
Best for families wanting affordable, safe, Socratic tutoring tied to real curriculum. The trade-off is scope: it covers K-12 core subjects only and requires a US billing address for consumer access. Browse AI Learning tools.
