Google takes on ChatGPT with a free year of Gemini Pro and advanced study tools
New Gemini tools can organize your classes, spot knowledge gaps, and more.
Google is offering a significant boost to college students in the United States as the academic year begins. The tech giant has announced a free year of Google AI Pro, a premium AI service valued at $19.99 monthly, for eligible students. This offer unlocks Gemini Spark, provides 5TB of cloud storage, and extends 4x higher usage limits in Gemini.
For students outside the US, Google is providing AI Plus, a similar offering that unlocks premium Gemini features and grants users massive cloud storage. In addition to the AI perks, Google is rolling out advanced study tools to support higher education.
One of the new AI-powered study tools is Deep Research in Gemini Live. This feature enables students to dive deep into research topics and gather comprehensive information. Interactive 3D visualizations are another addition, offering a dynamic way to understand complex subjects. To help students manage their academic lives, Google is introducing a dedicated Student Hub. This hub will allow users to keep track of deadlines, organize notes, and streamline their study routines.
Google Search is also receiving an educational upgrade. Users can now benefit from step-by-step coaching via Lens, which provides guided assistance on various topics. Custom study guides are being generated to cater to individual learning needs, and practice quizzes are being expanded to prepare students for standardized tests such as the SAT. This comprehensive suite of tools aims to make Google the go-to digital study companion for students entering the fall semester.
