About Silent Student on Khan Academy
Pick the assignment and watch: Silent Student opens Khan Academy in its own browser, answers each exercise question, reads Khan’s check and plays assigned videos at normal speed.
Silent Student is a Mac and Windows desktop app, from $11.99 a month, that opens Khan Academy assignments linked from your Canvas course, answers the exercise questions and plays assigned videos at normal speed. Course challenges stay yours.
- Answers in Khan’s own fields. Multiple choice, select-all, typed numbers and expressions, entered right on the exercise.
- Reads Khan’s check. It presses Check after each answer and reads the result before the next question.
- Plays assigned videos. Videos run start to finish at normal speed, never skipped ahead or sped up.
Is there a Khan Academy answer bot?
Is there a Khan Academy answer bot?
Yes. Several kinds exist, from screenshot extensions to answer-revealing userscripts. Silent Student is a Mac and Windows app that opens Khan Academy assignments linked from your Canvas course, enters each answer and reads Khan's check before the next question. Plans start at $11.99 a month.
Does Silent Student work with Khan Academy?
Does Silent Student work with Khan Academy?
Partly. Silent Student’s Vision agent follows the Khan Academy link in your Canvas course, answers each exercise question, checks it and reads the result before the next one. Assigned videos play at normal speed. We have published no Khan Academy run, so we publish no accuracy figure. Plans start at $11.99 a month.
| What it does | Khan Academy exercises and videos your Canvas course links to: each question answered and checked, each video played through at normal speed. Edpuzzle videos are played the same way, except in Live Mode, where your teacher plays the video for the class. |
|---|---|
| What it doesn’t do | Course challenges, proctored tests, Khanmigo chats, or a promised mastery level. It does not tell a unit test from practice, so queue only what you mean it to work. |
| Who it’s built for | College students in Canvas courses. It reaches Khan Academy only when your Canvas course links to it. Accounts are for ages 13 and up. Terms |
| Where it runs | Desktop app: a Mac with Apple Silicon on macOS 13 or later (Intel by request), or a 64-bit PC on Windows 10 or later. Chromebook, iPad or phone: the web app at app.silentstudent.com. School-managed devices may block it. |
| Plan | Every plan includes Khan Academy: Base $11.99, Plus $24.99, Pro $49.99 a month. No free plan. Pricing |
| Benchmark | No Khan Academy replica in our benchmark, so no Khan Academy accuracy figure. What the benchmark covers |
| Khan Academy’s rules | Its Terms of Service guidelines say: don’t “Use Khan Academy to cheat or encourage academic dishonesty.” Read the guidelines |

Is there a Khan Academy answer bot or solver bot?
Is there a Khan Academy answer bot or solver bot?
Yes, a few kinds, and they differ in who enters the answer. Screenshot extensions such as SnapGPT read the exercise on your screen and show a worked answer; SnapGPT’s Khan Academy page lists a free plan of “5 screenshot answers and 5 chat messages every day.” Answer-revealing userscripts from GitHub run inside your signed-in Khan Academy tab. Khanmigo, Khan Academy’s own AI, is a tutor: Khan says “AI tools are here to support learning, not to replace your thinking or do the work for you.” A chatbot answers what you paste in. Silent Student is a desktop app whose agent enters each answer in the assignment your Canvas course links to and reads Khan’s check before the next question.

How do Khan Academy assignments work?
Your teacher picks the content and the dates. Khan Academy’s help says “Articles, videos, exercises, quizzes, unit tests, course challenges, and Khanmigo Activities can be assigned,” each with a start date and a due date. Students find them in their Learning Queue, and “Overdue assignments remain visible until they are completed or removed by your teacher.” The teacher’s report marks each one In progress, Not Completed, On time, Missed or Late. District teachers can also share an assignment link “on your preferred platform or LMS,” which is one way Khan Academy work ends up in a Canvas course. For videos, “Students must watch at least 90% of a video for it to be marked complete.”

How do Khan Academy mastery levels work?
By exercise score. Khan Academy’s help center says Familiar means “Students completed an exercise with 70%-99% of the questions correct,” Proficient means “Students completed an exercise with 100% of the questions correct,” and Mastered means a Proficient student “correctly answered questions on this skill on a mixed-skill assessment.” Levels also fall: a Proficient student who misses questions on the skill drops to Familiar. Your mastery percentage counts only skills at Proficient or Mastered: Khan’s help says it “shows the percentage of skills in a course or unit that you've reached Proficient or Mastered on.” MATHia measures mastery skill by skill instead, inside MATHia workspaces.

Why won’t posted Khan Academy answers match your screen?
Why won’t posted Khan Academy answers match your screen?
Exercises draw on a question bank, and Khan Academy’s help tells teachers “You can decide between different or the same set of questions for your students.” Unless your teacher picked one set for everyone, your questions can differ from a classmate’s.

What help does Khan Academy give after a wrong answer?
What help does Khan Academy give after a wrong answer?
Help that ends at the right answer for your own question. Khan’s guide for parents says: “If students provide a wrong answer, there will be hints, example problems worked out step-by-step, and links to relevant instructional videos.”
| Help | What Khan Academy says |
|---|---|
| Hints and worked examples | “Hints, example problems worked out step-by-step, and links to relevant instructional videos.” |
| Skip | On practice tests, quizzes and course challenges: “Skipping a question will automatically mark it as incorrect.” |
| Bonus question | “If they answer the bonus question correctly, their previous mistake is erased.” |
| Retake | Lets the learner “start over with a clean slate.” Course challenges “cannot be restarted.” |
Teachers see the correct answers in their own reports: clicking a question header in the Responses report opens “a detailed view of the questions, a breakdown of your students’ response results, along with the correct answer.” Format matters too: Khan’s help says a right answer can be marked wrong when it isn’t entered the way the hint shows it, such as “1/2p” typed where “1/(2p)” was meant.

Which Khan Academy question types does Silent Student handle?
Which Khan Academy question types does Silent Student handle?
Worked by the Vision agent, with no published Khan Academy run, so these are not measured results.
| Question type | Handled | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Multiple choice and select-all | Works | Choices are matched by their text, not their position. |
| Typed numbers and expressions | Works | Khan’s help says formatting can make a correct answer count as wrong. |
| Assigned videos | Works | Played at normal speed; Khan marks a video complete at 90% watched. |
| Graphing, number-line and drag questions | Weakest | Check these yourself. |
| Course challenges | Not supported | They can’t be restarted. Take them yourself. |
| Khanmigo chats and Writing Coach | Not supported | Yours to do. |
| Proctored or lockdown-browser tests | Not supported | Yours to take. |
What should you do yourself on Khan Academy?
What should you do yourself on Khan Academy?
- No published Khan Academy run yet. Khan Academy runs on the Vision agent, and we have published no Khan Academy run. Check the run log.
- Take course challenges and unit tests yourself. They move your mastery levels, a course challenge cannot be restarted, and the agent does not tell a test from practice. Queue only the practice you mean it to work.

What does Silent Student do on Khan Academy?
What does Silent Student do on Khan Academy?
Khan Academy assignments linked from Canvas: exercise questions answered, assigned videos played in real time.
Exercise questions
Khan Academy exercises ask a set number of questions and check each one. The agent answers, checks the result on the page and continues to the end of the set.
Videos play in real time
When an assignment is a video, the agent plays it and measures real playback. It does not skip ahead or speed it up; a long video takes as long as it takes.
Math input
The agent has built-in handling for the common web math editors (MathQuill and MathLive) and types plain numeric answers directly.
Every answer is read back
Typing an answer is not the same as the platform accepting it. After each entry the agent re-reads the live page, so an answer that did not take is caught and retried instead of counted.

Pick the assignment in Canvas
Open the Silent Student desktop app, find the Khan Academy assignment in your Canvas course list, and queue it like any other.
It opens Khan Academy from your course
The app follows the assignment's link out of Canvas and lands on Khan Academy. It does not ask for or type your password.
It works the screen in front of it
The vision agent reads each question from a screenshot and the page's controls, enters an answer, checks it, and reads the page back before moving on.
It reports what really happened
It uses the platform's own submit or completion control and marks the run confirmed only when the platform shows it.
More questions about Khan Academy6
Is there a Khan Academy AI that gives answers?
Khan Academy’s own AI is Khanmigo, which it built as a tutor. Khan’s guidelines say “AI tools are here to support learning, not to replace your thinking or do the work for you,” and teachers can open a student’s Khanmigo Chat History from the Individual Student Report. Khanmigo is listed at $4 a month for learners and parents and free for teachers. Silent Student is a separate third-party app, not made by Khan Academy, and it enters answers itself.
Sources: Khan Academy Help Center: How can I use Khan Academy’s AI features responsibly?; Khanmigo pricing; Khan Academy Help Center: How do I use the Individual Student Report?, checked October 20, 2026.
Is there a Khan Academy solver extension or GitHub script?
Yes, both. SnapGPT is a Chrome and Firefox extension, and its Khan Academy page offers “Full worked steps beside the problem, so you can check your method before you submit.” On GitHub, when we checked on October 20, 2026, the most-starred Khan Academy browser scripts described themselves as “A Pure Javascript cheat for the Khan Academy Platform” (192 stars) and “An answer revealer userscript for Khan Academy” (131 stars, last updated August 2024). We have not run either, and Khan’s guidelines say don’t “Use Khan Academy to cheat or encourage academic dishonesty.” Silent Student is a desktop app, not an extension or a script.
Sources: SnapGPT: Khan Academy; GitHub: Khan Academy repositories by stars; Khan Academy Help Center: What’s allowed and not allowed under Khan Academy’s Terms of Service?, checked October 20, 2026.
Can Khan Academy see how long you took on an assignment?
Yes. Khan Academy’s Individual Student Report has an Activity Log that “shows exactly what the student was working on, when they were working on it, their Mastery level for that activity, the number of problems they got correct, and the time spent on the activity.” Its Response report shows “which questions the student got right or wrong per question, as well as their first score and their best score.” We found no Khan Academy help article that says whether it detects switching tabs or copy-paste, so we make no claim either way. Silent Student works in your own signed-in account, so Khan records its work the same way it records yours; it hides and fakes none of it.
Sources: Khan Academy Help Center: How do I use the Individual Student Report?; Khan Academy Help Center: How do I use the Responses and Completion Reports?, checked October 20, 2026.
What do Khan Academy’s rules say about tools like this?
Khan Academy’s guidelines under its Terms of Service list, under “Don’t”: “Use Khan Academy to cheat or encourage academic dishonesty.” The same guidelines say don’t “Create fake or automated accounts (e.g., bots)” and don’t “Use scraping tools, bots, or other tech to copy or extract data from our site.” Silent Student works inside your own signed-in account. Whether using it on a Khan Academy assignment is allowed is for Khan Academy, your teacher and your school to judge. We are not lawyers. Read the guidelines and your class rules before you decide.

What is the best AI for Khan Academy?
It depends on who should enter the answers. To understand a question, use Khan Academy’s hints or Khanmigo, its own tutor. For a worked answer that you check and type in yourself, use a screenshot extension such as SnapGPT. For an agent that enters each answer in an assignment your Canvas course links to, Silent Student is one, from $11.99 a month, with no published Khan Academy run. Khan’s guidelines say not to use Khan Academy to cheat, so read them first.

Khan Academy FAQ
Does it watch the videos?
When the assignment is a video, it plays it through at normal speed and measures the real playback. It does not skip or speed up the video.
Does it work outside Canvas?
It works Khan Academy assignments that your Canvas course links to.
Which plan do I need?
Any plan. Every plan includes the vision agent that works this platform; plans differ only in credits. See the pricing page for details.
Does Khan Academy have a whiteboard or scratchpad?
Yes. Khan Academy exercises have a drawing scratchpad for working out steps. A 2022 answer in Khan Academy’s Help Center community says work on it “is not saved anywhere in our systems” and that “the drawings are stored locally on their device, and then erased once they move on to the next question.”
Can you retake a Khan Academy unit test or course challenge?
Exercises, quizzes and unit tests, yes; course challenges, no. Khan Academy’s help says the “Retake” button at the end of “any exercise, quiz, or unit test” lets you “start over with a clean slate,” but “Course Challenges cannot be restarted.” Take unit tests and course challenges yourself: they move your mastery levels.
