Google announced on Wednesday that it will roll out a new suite of learning tools in Search and Gemini, including AI-generated interactive visualizations, 3D simulations, a dedicated student hub, and customized practice quizzes. The move aims to further establish Gemini as the go-to AI assistant for students studying and preparing for exams. Google is currently in fierce competition with OpenAI and educational startups like Knowt and Gauth, which are also launching their own study and practice tools.
In Google Search, students can now generate customized tools and simulations to help them understand complex topics. For example, when learning about pH, students can search for “pH scale,” and an AI Overview will generate an interactive visualization to help them grasp the fundamentals more intuitively. To dive deeper, users can ask more specific follow-up questions, such as requesting that various citrus fruits be marked on the pH scale chart. The AI Mode in Search will then create a tailored interactive learning experience based on the query.
Users can now also generate customized practice quizzes directly in Search for any subject, covering science, math, humanities, foreign languages, and more. For instance, a user can type “Create a quiz with the most common SAT vocabulary words to help me prepare for the exam,” and Search will generate an interactive quiz. In the coming weeks, Lens in Google Search will introduce new interactive learning experiences to help students solve specific problems. Users can tap the Lens camera icon in the Google App, upload a photo of the problem or study material they are working on, and the AI will explain relevant concepts, identify potential errors, and provide guidance when they get stuck.
Additionally, students can now ask Search to create study materials from uploaded files, supporting PDFs, documents, slides, and more. For example, users can upload photos of handwritten notes along with a classroom presentation, and the AI will generate a one-page study guide that organizes the core concepts. As for Gemini, Google is introducing a feature that allows students to initiate multi-step research reports in Gemini Live and then discuss the results in a conversational manner.
Users can ask Gemini to research a topic, then close the chat window or attend to other tasks while Gemini continues the research in the background. Once the report is complete, users receive a notification and can discuss the findings with Gemini via voice or ask follow-up questions. Google also announced that Gemini can now generate interactive 3D simulations to help users better understand various concepts. Going forward, Gemini’s responses can include custom-designed tables, grids, and simulations based on user prompts. For example, entering “Show me how DNA works in 3D” will allow users to interactively rotate and zoom into a 3D DNA structure, viewing it from different angles.
Google will also introduce a dedicated learning hub within the Gemini app, bringing various study tools into one place. Users can create study notebooks, make flashcards, take practice quizzes, and access more learning features. These new tools are expected to significantly boost student learning efficiency and differentiate Google from existing edtech products. As the AI education tools market continues to heat up, this move is likely to solidify Google’s position in the smart learning space, potentially integrating AI-assisted features into even more scenarios in the future.
