Google packs Search and Gemini with new AI study tools

Google 为搜索和 Gemini 增添全新 AI 学习工具

Google on Wednesday announced a slew of new study tools across Search and Gemini, including AI-generated interactive visuals, 3D simulations, a dedicated student hub, customized practice quizzes, and more. The launch of the new study features marks Google’s latest effort to make Gemini the AI assistant that students turn to when learning and studying, as it competes with companies like OpenAI and education startups such as Knowt and Gauth, which are also offering their own learning and practice tools.

Google 周三宣布在搜索(Search)和 Gemini 中推出一系列全新的学习工具,包括 AI 生成的交互式视觉效果、3D 模拟、专属学生中心、定制练习测验等。这些新学习功能的发布,标志着 Google 正努力将 Gemini 打造成学生学习时的首选 AI 助手,以应对来自 OpenAI 以及 Knowt 和 Gauth 等教育初创公司的竞争,这些公司也都在提供各自的学习和练习工具。

On Search, students can now generate custom tools and simulations to help them understand complex topics. For example, if a student is learning about pH levels, they can search for “pH scale” and get an interactive visual in an AI Overview that makes the basics easier to understand. To go even further, they can ask a follow-up question for something more specialized, like plotting citrus fruits on the pH scale, and AI Mode in Search will then create an interactive experience tailored to the question.

在搜索功能中,学生现在可以生成自定义工具和模拟,以帮助他们理解复杂的主题。例如,如果学生正在学习 pH 值,他们可以搜索“pH scale”(pH 量表),并在 AI 概览(AI Overview)中获得一个交互式视觉效果,使基础知识更容易理解。更进一步,他们还可以针对更专业的问题进行追问,例如在 pH 量表上标注柑橘类水果,搜索中的 AI 模式随后会根据该问题创建一个交互式体验。

Users can now get customized practice quizzes directly in Search on any subject, including science, math, humanities, foreign languages, and more. For example, users can enter a prompt like, “Create a quiz with the most commonly tested vocabulary words to help me prep for the SAT,” and Search will then generate an interactive quiz.

用户现在可以直接在搜索中获取任何学科的定制练习测验,包括科学、数学、人文、外语等。例如,用户可以输入类似“创建一个包含最常考词汇的测验,帮助我准备 SAT 考试”的提示词,搜索功能随后就会生成一个交互式测验。

In the coming weeks, Lens in Search will roll out a new interactive learning experience that will help students work through problems. They can tap the “Lens” camera icon in the Google app and then upload a photo of what they’re working on to get AI to explain the concept, identify potential mistakes, and provide guidance if they’re stuck.

在接下来的几周内,搜索中的 Lens 功能将推出一种全新的交互式学习体验,帮助学生解决难题。他们可以点击 Google 应用中的“Lens”相机图标,上传正在处理的问题照片,让 AI 解释相关概念、识别潜在错误,并在遇到困难时提供指导。

Additionally, students can now ask Search to create study documents based on their uploaded files, including PDFs, docs, slides, and more. For example, they can upload a photo of their handwritten notes along with lecture slides to get a one-pager that outlines key concepts.

此外,学生现在可以要求搜索根据他们上传的文件(包括 PDF、文档、幻灯片等)创建学习文档。例如,他们可以上传手写笔记的照片以及讲座幻灯片,从而获得一份概述关键概念的单页文档。

As for the new Gemini features, Google is launching a feature that lets students launch multi-step research reports in Gemini Live and then discuss the findings conversationally. Users can ask Gemini to research a topic and then close the chat or do other things while it works in the background. They’ll get a notification when the report is ready and can then can discuss the findings or ask follow up questions using their voice.

至于 Gemini 的新功能,Google 正在推出一项功能,允许学生在 Gemini Live 中启动多步骤研究报告,并以对话方式讨论研究结果。用户可以要求 Gemini 研究某个主题,然后关闭聊天窗口或进行其他操作,让其在后台运行。当报告准备就绪时,他们会收到通知,随后可以通过语音讨论研究结果或提出后续问题。

The tech giant also announced that Gemini can now generate functional 3D simulations to help users better understand topics, as responses will now include tables, grids, and simulations made specially for the prompt. For example, if you enter a prompt like, “show me how DNA works in 3D,” you’ll be able to interactively rotate and zoom into a 3D DNA structure.

这家科技巨头还宣布,Gemini 现在可以生成功能性的 3D 模拟,以帮助用户更好地理解主题,因为回复内容现在将包含专门为提示词制作的表格、网格和模拟。例如,如果你输入“向我展示 DNA 是如何以 3D 形式运作的”,你将能够交互式地旋转并放大 3D DNA 结构。

Google is also launching a dedicated hub in the Gemini app that brings its learning tools together in one place. Users will be able to start a study notebook, create flashcards, take practice quizzes, and more within the hub.

Google 还在 Gemini 应用中推出了一个专属中心,将各种学习工具整合在一起。用户将能够在该中心内开启学习笔记、创建抽认卡、进行练习测验等。
