Khanmigo is an generative AI-powered tutor. It is built by sending prompts that include information about the students’ proficiency and research-based instructions on how to act like a tutor to a foundational LLM. Students need sufficient opportunities to practice new skills. In classrooms students often do not get this opportunity, and, when they do attempt to practice, they do not have the support they need to get unstuck or feedback that identifies where they went wrong. Khanmigo, an AI-powered tutor interacts with students while they practice to provide this support and feedback. This support, combined with data and insights communicated to teachers, who then drive student practice through assignment and in-class motivation, will significantly improve learners’ math performance.
