OpenAI is quietly testing a new 'Study Together' feature with select ChatGPT subscribers. Instead of just handing over answers, the mode asks users follow-up questions to prompt critical thinking, serving as an apparent counter to Google's LearnLM. It could mark a shift to discourage AI cheating and turn the bot into a real tutor.
Google just launched Learn About, an experimental AI learning companion powered by its LearnLM model. Instead of standard chatbot summaries, it delivers textbook-style answers with interactive visuals, vocabulary builders, and "why it matters" sidebars to actively guide curiosity.
Google just introduced LearnLM, a new family of models fine-tuned from Gemini designed to turn AI from an answer generator into an active tutor. Grounded in learning science, it powers features like interactive "raise your hand" prompts on YouTube, step-by-step guidance in Gemini, and simplified Search overviews. Why it matters: generative AI is shifting from an easy cheating shortcut to structured pedagogy.
