“I want to learn a new topic but I don't know where to start”

Curious people and adults changing careers who want to learn on their own: a language, math, economics... Without a teacher or a program, you drown in contradictory resources.

Recommended agent: Khanmigo
💰 Free for teachers; access varies by country and plan (check on khanacademy.org). Level: Easy 🌍 United States Teacher tools 100% free forever; learners/families at $4/month or $44/year

Khanmigo, Khan Academy's AI tutor (khanacademy.org). It doesn't give the answers: it guides you with questions, like a good teacher, and builds a path tailored to your level, from elementary to higher education.

How it works

Trigger: You state your subject, level, and goal — guides you with questions and adapts the path to your answers, and you get structured progress without giving the answers.

Step-by-step setup

  1. Create a free account on Khan Academy.
  2. Choose your subject and level in the catalog.
  3. Chat with Khanmigo: tell it what you want to learn.
  4. Follow the suggested path, at your pace, 20 minutes a day.
⚠️ Guardrails: Resist the temptation to ask it directly for the answer: it's by searching that you learn, and it's designed for that. Complete with the platform's exercises, not just the chat.
