Google is also adding[Deep Research](https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/814878/google-ai-gemini-deep-research-personalized)to Gemini Live\. You can ask Gemini to generate complicated research reports and talk through the results\. If it’s taking a while, you can close the chat and lock your phone screen, and Gemini will let you know when your report is ready\. In the coming weeks, it will also start rolling out a new feature for Lens in the Google mobile app that lets you take a photo of your study or worksheet and get explanations, help with complicated concepts, or even coaching if you’ve made a mistake\.
Eligible students in the US can score one year of[Google AI Pro](https://www.theverge.com/tech/671116/google-ai-product-names-confusing-gemini-deepmind-astra)for free, which includes 5TB of storage,[Google Health Premium](https://www.theverge.com/gadgets/925458/google-health-fitbit-air-ai-coaching-wearables-fitness-trackers), higher usage limits on Gemini, and access to Gemini across Google apps\. Students outside the US will have to make do with the slightly less comprehensive Google AI Plus sub, which comes with 400GB of storage and lower Gemini usage limits\.

Google has launched new AI-powered study tools for students, including interactive visuals, 3D simulations, and customized quizzes, integrated into Search and Gemini to enhance learning experiences and compete with other education AI offerings.
Google is developing a new 'App' feature for Gemini Notebook that turns source materials into interactive applications like dashboards or study aids, alongside other refinements such as AI Notes and watermarking.
Google Gemini has integrated NotebookLM to organize chat history, combining structured knowledge management with creative reasoning and multimodal capabilities.
Google quietly enabled Gemini to ingest and reason over NotebookLM notebooks, letting users fuse private, cited documents with live web search for faster, grounded research and creative workflows.
Google is testing unreleased changes to close feature gaps between the Gemini desktop app and its web version, including dedicated tabs for image/video generation, camera capture, and custom MCP server support for Spark.
