Khan Academy's AI tutor gives helpful explanations, but the chat replies show everything as plain text. Math equations appear as raw LaTeX strings, headings blend into paragraphs, and lists lose their structure. When you are working through a calculus problem or reading a step-by-step breakdown, that flat formatting makes the answer harder to follow than it needs to be.
This Drop adds automatic rich formatting to assistant replies in the Khan Academy Task Chat. Markdown elements like headings, bold text, and bullet lists render properly. LaTeX-style math expressions display as actual equations with proper notation. The formatting applies to both new messages as they arrive and messages already visible in the chat.
The panel layout and chat flow stay exactly the same. The formatting happens inside the existing chat bubble area, so nothing moves or breaks. It just looks cleaner and reads better, especially for math-heavy subjects.
