Khanmigo

Khanmigo is Khan Academy's AI tutoring assistant and the most educationally sound AI tutor available. Instead of answering questions directly, it uses Socratic questioning — guiding students to discover answers themselves through a series of targeted prompts — which aligns with proven learning science. Crossed 700,000 active users in 2026 (up from 40,000 in 2025 — 17× annual growth) across 380+ partner school districts (up from 45), with 100M+ cumulative student interactions. Available free through participating US school districts; family plan ~$4/month ($44/year). Teacher mode includes lesson planning, parent email drafting, and standards alignment tools. Covers math, science, history, economics, coding, and SAT prep within Khan Academy's existing curriculum. Best for K-12 students who want a patient, curriculum-aligned tutor that teaches rather than gives answers — and for parents who want educationally responsible AI their children can use unsupervised.
