Google's experimental AI tool for education, Learn About, is now available to some US-based users. The tool leverages the LearnLM language model, ditching Gemini to hopefully deliver better results.

Google's AI-powered experimental tool, Learn About, is available to select users in the US. The tool pitched for education displays information about a topic you might want to "Learn About," citing educational sources. 

The tool uses the LearnLM large language model that has been tuned to be a "conversational learning companion," according to Google. The model based on Gemini will guide "you through any topic at your own pace - through pictures, videos, webpages and activities." It can also analyze uploaded documents and images. 

Google has said that LearnLM will make its way to other products, such as Gemini, where it will power a feature called Gems, which are custom versions of the chatbot that "can act as personal experts on any topic." 

YouTube will display extra information on educational or academic videos and answer clarifying questions or generate quizzes on topics you might be interested in. On Android smartphones, LearnLM will enable Circle to Search to solve complex problems such as "symbolic formulas, diagrams, graphs and more."
