What's the best AI tutor for kids and quite frankly, are any of them really any better than just using chatGPT or Claude or some other tool not specifically focused on kids? Would love to hear what you've tried, liked or hated. Asking because I run a homeschooling marketplace and looking for tools for our tutors and parents to use with kids. Excited to hear your thoughts!
TLDR I'm more confident in Khanmigo's safety and security (tailored to a young, non adult audience) of the product than I would be of OpenAI and ChatGPT, based on my research and discussions with others in industry. Khan Academy incentives are not OpenAI incentives. I trust my kids alone with Khanmigo, I would not trust them alone with ChatGPT.
Empire of AI By Karen Hao [1] is a great read by the way, and helpful context adjacent to this topic.
