Google has introduced a new AI tool called Learn About, distinct from chatbots like Gemini and ChatGPT. Built on the LearnLM AI model, it is designed to be educational, incorporating visual and interactive elements.
Key Features of Learn About
- Educational Focus: Answers are grounded in educational research and formatted to enhance learning.
- Interactive Elements: Includes images, related content links, and textbook-style boxes for additional context and vocabulary building.
- Suggested Topics: Provides follow-up topics and educational-themed articles and videos for further exploration.
The Learn About AI Search is offered as part of Google Labs and is also a part of Google’s Learning Initiative. The Learning Initiative page offers links to Google Labs projects related to learning, including:
- Learn About
- Shiffbot
- Illuminate
- NotebookLM
- Learn About’s Interactive List exploration menus are illustrated with images, making it faster to comprehend the written content as the images reinforce the text. These images appear to be licensed from stock image providers like Shutterstock, Adobe, and Alamy, rather than sourced from creator websites.
