Technical Integration & Deployment Notes
Model & Infrastructure:
- Khanmigo is built on GPT-4 (OpenAI), customized with Khan Academy's proprietary educational guardrails and content integrations.
- The AI is deeply embedded within Khan Academy's learning platform, giving it direct access to curriculum-aligned content across subjects and grade levels.
Access Control & Safety Architecture:
- Student access (under 18) is restricted to two pathways: parent-managed accounts (up to 10 children per subscription) or district-level implementations facilitated by Khan Academy's partnership program.
- Individual teachers cannot directly grant student access — this design enforces a supervised, compliant environment for minors.
- All student data is handled with privacy and security guarantees appropriate for K–12 educational settings (COPPA/FERPA considerations implied by nonprofit education focus).
Teacher Tool Capabilities:
- Standards-aligned lesson plan generation tied to Khan Academy's content library.
- On-demand student progress summaries for quick formative assessment.
- Automated creation of rubrics, quiz questions, learning objectives, hooks, exit tickets, and student groupings.
- No API access is publicly documented; Khanmigo is a closed, hosted platform.
Geographic Restrictions:
- Parent/learner subscriptions require a U.S. billing address.
- Teacher access is available in a broader set of supported countries and territories.
