About Khanmigo
What is Khanmigo?
Khan Academy's AI tutor and teaching assistant. For students it guides them through problems with questions rather than giving answers. For teachers it helps plan lessons, write rubrics and quizzes, differentiate activities and summarise student progress. Khanmigo is an AI education and learning platform that personalises content delivery, provides instant feedback, and adapts to each learner's pace and knowledge gaps.
The free teacher tools are offered to educators outside the US, including Australia, but check whether learner and parent subscriptions are available here before planning around them. Content follows US curricula, so map activities to the Australian Curriculum yourself. Schools must meet state education department rules on approved AI tools and child safety standards, and student data is personal information under the Privacy Act 1988 and state privacy laws. Tutors and private providers should get parental consent before children use it, and supervise how it is used.

Details checked against the vendor's website in October 2026. Pricing changes often, so confirm current plans at khanmigo.ai.
Data Residency & Privacy in Australia
Khan Academy is a US non-profit and does not publish an Australian hosting option for Khanmigo. Teacher and student data is handled under Khan Academy's privacy policy, and AI features rely on third-party model providers. Schools should ask how conversations are stored, who can review them and whether they improve the service, and check state education department requirements first.

Getting Started with Khanmigo in Australia
Khanmigo is available directly at khanmigo.ai. Define clear learning outcomes before setting up the platform. Import existing training materials and let the AI structure them into modules. Pilot with a small group, gather feedback, and refine the curriculum before rolling out broadly.
Outside help is most useful when the tool has to connect to existing systems, handle personal information, or be rolled out to a whole team. AI Lab Australia works with businesses across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide on that setup.

Is Khanmigo free for Australian teachers?
Yes. Khanmigo's teacher tools are available free to educators in Australia through a pilot supported by Microsoft, covering lesson planning, rubrics, quizzes and differentiation. Teachers sign up with a Khan Academy teacher account and can start without school-level procurement.
Can Australian students use Khanmigo?
Student access depends on how it is provided. Classroom access comes through school or district arrangements, and individual learner subscriptions outside the US are paid and vary by country. Check khanmigo.ai for current options before recommending it to families.
Does Khanmigo follow the Australian Curriculum?
No. Khan Academy content is built around US standards, so teachers need to map activities to Australian Curriculum outcomes themselves. Maths and science explanations broadly transfer, but terminology, units and assessment formats may differ from Australian classrooms.
Is Khanmigo safe for children?
Khanmigo is designed for education, with moderation and teacher visibility of student chats. Schools must still follow state education department rules on approved AI tools and child safety standards, and get parental consent where required. Supervise use and teach students to check answers.
