Google launches AI-powered ‘Learn About’ companion for educational research

Google has launched an experimental AI learning companion called “Learn About.” Powered by Google’s LearnLM AI model, the new chatbot is designed to serve as an adaptive educational aid, supporting users’ specific learning goals.

In contrast to AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini, Learn About organises data in a visually engaging format, using interactive lists, quizzes, and additional information boxes that provide definitions and context. The chatbot also suggests related articles and videos to offer a more comprehensive understanding of each topic.
