While Google’s Gemini AI improves features and experiences for its users, the company is working on other models that are nothing like traditional chatbots. The tech giant is going in a different direction with a new experimental tool called Learn About, which focuses on improving learning through more engaging and interactive visuals. More education-focused artificial intelligence marks a significant step and could change the way people learn and engage in research by making the process more effective.

Google’s experimental AI tool, Learn About, is a big step in improving learning through more interactive responses

When it comes to AI initiatives, companies are not stopping and are constantly looking for ways to improve user experience and explore a wide range of potential capabilities. We are seeing a more aggressive approach to bringing forward new models and advancements. Likewise with Google, as they have worked hard on developing Gemini AI and its incorporation through the Google ecosystem, but now the company is even one step further in using AI tools to make learning more effective.

Google has launched a new experimental AI tool, namely Learn About, which is a step away from traditional chatbots and is more oriented towards education and learning. The tool is built on the LearnLM model, which was introduced in early May and has been adapted to respond to answers related to a variety of subjects or falling into educational research categories. The LearnLM model has become more aligned with how people learn effectively with engaging visuals to improve the way information is captured and then used.

AI tools are presented as companions to conversational learning because they help users deepen their understanding of a particular topic by presenting more tailored information with more textbook-style user questions and responses. It even guides you through new topics so that the learning experience can be enhanced. Some users who tried the tool drew comparisons to Gemini and suggested that while Gemini focuses more on providing facts and figures, the Learn About capability expands it further by adding related content as well as relevant images.

There are textbook-style boxes that provide additional information for users who want to explore further, and additional topics are provided in the sidebar for a better learning experience. Google’s experimental AI tool seems promising, especially because it focuses on education and related questions specifically. We may see this experiment pay off with a more visually engaging learning experience.
