Google is trying to diversify its AI offerings with the launch of a new AI-based experimental tool.
In case you’re wondering, the feature is different from the usual AI chatbots that have taken over the tech world. Instead, the latest offering called Learn About is built into the company’s LearnLM AI model.
Google rolled this out in spring and says it’s based on educational research and customized to a user’s capabilities. The replies are more interactive and visually appealing with a lot of educational formatting.
Users are already talking about how they’ve tested the new offering with ease and prompts. The answers were short, accurate, and quick in terms of turnover. When compared to the same results produced by Gemini from Google, it was interesting to see the latter displaying diagrams from Wikipedia with a summary featuring links. On the other hand. Learn About took images from an educational site and put in content that was more designed to help in learning as compared to just adding facts or a definition.
The reply from Learn About also gave rise to textbook-style boxes that provide more content such as ‘why it matters’ and others that assist in designing vocabulary featuring word definitions. On the sidebar, there are additional topics popping up that assist in exploring how to use the tool.
When the controversial statement, ‘What’s the best glue added on pizza’ was put out as a prompt, you’ll be amazed at the response. It got it right and didn’t disappoint, unlike the facts churned out by Google’s AI search overviews that left the world stunned.
So far it all seems promising but only time can tell how useful and popular of a feature it becomes.
