Gemini Live adds Deep Research as Notebooks come to AI Mode
With the back-to-school season underway, Google is introducing new study tools across the Gemini app and Search.
As the new school year begins, Google is rolling out a variety of study tools across its Gemini app and Search. The Gemini Live feature now includes Deep Research integration, allowing users to ask for research reports through voice and engage in discussions about the generated content. U.S. college students can take advantage of a free year of Google AI Pro ($19.99 per month), while there is a bundle with YouTube Premium that offers up to 70% off. International users can opt for a year of AI Plus ($4.99 per month).
A new "Student" hub (gemini.google.com/students) has been added to the Gemini side panel, which highlights offers and tools tailored for students. These include flashcards and practice quizzes. Additionally, the study notebooks introduced in June have received updates. Users can now upload notes and other class materials to generate lesson plans and quizzes. In the coming weeks, Google plans to add graphs and images, along with Google Calendar integration to help schedule due dates and exams based on syllabi.
Moreover, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode are incorporating study tools. Search can now generate custom tools and simulations to clarify complex topics, including custom practice quizzes for various subjects, such as the ACT, AP, ENEM, GRE, JEE, LSAT, MCAT, NEET, and SAT. Users are encouraged to create notebooks for each class or project and add slides, syllabi, and articles.
Previous AI Mode threads on related topics can also be integrated. The notebook consolidates all this information in one place, enabling users to ask questions and analyze topics based on their reference materials, building upon their ideas over time.
Another feature allows users to create ready-to-use study documents based on uploaded files or AI Mode threads. For instance, users can add a photo of handwritten notes alongside lecture slides and request a one-pager from Search outlining the key concepts. Google Lens is set to introduce an interactive learning experience that can discuss challenging concepts and confirm whether the user is on the right track. This feature will be available globally in English in the coming weeks.
