Google Gemini is getting a dedicated student hub

“Google is launching a dedicated student hub within Gemini, offering a unified workspace for research notes, flashcards, practice quizzes, and calendar integration. The hub adds graph and image support to study notebooks and introduces Deep Research in Gemini Live, allowing students to generate and discuss complex reports. A new Lens feature will let users photograph worksheets for instant explanations and coaching. U.S. students receive a free year of Google AI Pro, which includes 5 TB of storage, Google Health Premium, higher Gemini usage limits, and cross‑app access, while international students get the more limited Google AI Plus. Expert Analysis: The free AI Pro tier positions Google as a primary tool in U.S. higher‑education workflows, potentially driving broader adoption of its cloud services across campuses. By bundling premium health and storage benefits, Google may also increase data capture opportunities, raising competitive and privacy considerations for rivals and regulators.”
