9 Ways You Can Use Google's AI to Give Your Learning a Powerful Boost

The way we learn is undergoing a profound transformation with AI. We're already seeing incredible adoption in India, with students embracing our powerful learning tools to build confidence and deep understanding. As we’ve shared in our new position paper, "AI and the Future of Learning," our philosophy is that AI learning tools must ignite curiosity and engage learners in a process of discovery. That's why they are purpose-built and grounded in best-in-class learning science.

For example, in Gemini, people can choose a Guided Learning path that helps them unearth the answer instead of just giving it away. NotebookLM helps you study better using your own sources and turning content into quizzes, flashcards or immersive audio or video experiences. We've added ways to make Search more conversational, too, so students can ask questions as they learn on those platforms.

Here is a guide to 9 powerful features across Gemini, NotebookLM, and Search that you can use to give your learning a powerful boost today.
