GoogleLaunched a product called Learn About experimental AI ToolsThe chatbot is different from familiar chatbots such as Gemini and ChatGPT, which are built on Google's LearnLM AI model released this spring."Based on educational research and tailored to how people learn.". The tool provides answers with richer visual and interactive elements, presented in an educational format.
Learn About and Google Gemini were asked the same simple question: "How big is the universe?" Both answered that the diameter of the "observable universe" is "about 93 billion light-years".
Gemini, however, chose to show a diagram of the universe and a two-paragraph summary provided by Wikipedia, with links to sources. Learn About, on the other hand, highlights an image from the educational site Physics Forums and adds related content that focuses more on learning than simply providing facts and definitions.
Learn About answers also create textbook-like boxes that give you additional context, such as "why it's important" and boxes that help you "build vocabulary" through word definitions. In the sidebar, additional topics are given to continue exploring with the tool.
