Google just rolled out a major update to Gemini Notebook, adding real-time voice conversations grounded in your uploaded sources across nearly 100 languages on mobile. The update also adds lecture audio recording, customizable quizzes and flashcards, and 60-second animated study videos in 80+ languages—plus free premium plan subscriptions for eligible college students worldwide.
Google just announced a free one-year subscription for college students, offering Google AI Pro in the U.S. (a $19.99/month value) and Google AI Plus internationally. Alongside the perk, Gemini rolled out a dedicated student hub featuring AI study notebooks, interactive 3D simulations, and Deep Research inside Gemini Live. It’s an aggressive push to hook the next generation of knowledge workers onto Google's ecosystem before graduation.
Google just expanded its budget-friendly Google AI Plus subscription to 40 additional countries following an initial launch in Indonesia. The tier includes higher limits for image editing, access to the Veo 3 Fast video model across Gemini, Whisk, and Flow, 200 GB of storage, and Gemini inside Gmail, Docs, and Sheets. Why it matters: Google is making its creative and productivity tools accessible at a lower price point across dozens of developing markets.
