It’s a personal tutor capable of adapting its teaching style in real time.
Learn About doesn’t rely on the Gemini AI models employed by Google in most of its AI services.
Instead, it uses the LearnLM model introduced atGoogle I/Othis year.
LearnLM also makes sure the common hallucinations and wrong information regurgitated by AI chatbots are less of an issue.
Learn About is currently available to a limited number of U.S. users, but expansion is likely coming soon.
Robotic education
As an experiment, I asked about building a humanoid robot.
Learn About didn’t just cite an encyclopedia on what that would entail.
The ‘go deeper’ button quickly led me down a path of technical details for machining anarmjoint.
Two paragraphs in, I was lost.
Still, the analogies and accompanying images and diagrams were like a window into textbooks for ever-younger children.
People don’t always want a personal tutor.
Sometimes, the trivia expert version of AI is preferable.
Learn About helps Google set itself up as an information resource and a digital learning companion.
And I have to give credit to Learn About for inspiring my upcoming gingerbread puppet show about robots.
