Khanmigo Now Draws Interactive Diagrams, Built With Gemini
Google published a post on its own blog titled "Partnering with Khan Academy on building AI tools for classrooms". Everything below comes from that post.
Transcript
Google says Khanmigo has moved from pilots into real classrooms for back to school.
Khan Academy's tutor Khanmigo used to reply only in text. Google says it now uses Gemini to generate interactive diagrams for math and science.
It can build charts and geometric shapes. Drag a vertex or a line segment and Khanmigo recognizes the change and adjusts the lesson.
The Practice My Knowledge tool was rebuilt. Gemini drafts questions. Teachers upload materials then edit or reject each one before students see it.
Six Google engineers worked with Khan Academy on a six month Google.org fellowship. Khan Academy reports early signs of higher engagement. No figures were given.

Every claim in this video comes from the top ranking coverage of this topic. The claims and where each one came from:
- In January, we shared that new AI-powered learning tools were coming to Khan Academy, built with Google's Gemini models. Since then, Khan Academy has added even more tools to that lineup, moving them from early pilots to real classrooms in time for back to school 2026.(Google's official announcement, Partnering with Khan Academy on building AI tools for classrooms, published August 27, 2026)
- Built with Gemini models, these updates bring new capabilities to Khanmigo, Khan Academy's AI-powered student tutor and teaching assistant.(Google's official announcement, Partnering with Khan Academy on building AI tools for classrooms, published August 27, 2026)
- Where it previously offered text, Khanmigo now uses Gemini's advanced reasoning capabilities to generate interactive visual aids and diagrams.(Google's official announcement, Partnering with Khan Academy on building AI tools for classrooms, published August 27, 2026)
- If Khanmigo detects that a visual could help a student with a math or science problem, it will create charts, geometric shapes, parallel coordinate plots, and more.(Google's official announcement, Partnering with Khan Academy on building AI tools for classrooms, published August 27, 2026)
- And if a student drags a vertex or a line segment, Khanmigo recognizes the change and adjusts the lesson accordingly.(Google's official announcement, Partnering with Khan Academy on building AI tools for classrooms, published August 27, 2026)
- The second major feature to come out of this partnership is Khan Academy's reimagined Practice My Knowledge tool, which keeps teachers in control of their practice materials. Completely redesigning the tool making it fully editable, scorable and reviewable by educators.(Google's official announcement, Partnering with Khan Academy on building AI tools for classrooms, published August 27, 2026)
- The latest version now enables teachers to partner with Gemini to plan, draft, and validate practice questions before students see them. Teachers can also upload their own materials for Gemini to reference. Before an assignment goes out, a teacher reviews the full set, making edits or rejecting questions before they're sent to students.(Google's official announcement, Partnering with Khan Academy on building AI tools for classrooms, published August 27, 2026)
- Since March, a team of six Google engineers worked alongside Khan Academy's product and engineering organization through a six-month Google.org fellowship to co-create AI tools in the classroom.(Google's official announcement, Partnering with Khan Academy on building AI tools for classrooms, published August 27, 2026)
- Khan Academy is seeing early signs of increased student engagement and how well students answer questions after they see a diagram.(Google's official announcement, Partnering with Khan Academy on building AI tools for classrooms, published August 27, 2026)
