What Khanmigo learned from an unsuccessful first version
Khan Academy Blog

EDITOR BRIEF
Sal Khan says the first version of Khanmigo did not improve learning as the team had hoped. Later iterations placed AI inside practice, prompted students to explain their thinking, avoided simply giving answers, and aimed to multiply teachers’ capacity.
INSIGHTS
Judge an AI learning tool by what the student does while using it, not by how polished its answers sound. Favor interactions that ask for an explanation and leave the learner responsible for the next step.
