Google's student hub launch pits it against ChatGPT Edu

google launched a gemini student hub designed as a repository for study tools including notebooks with graph support, flashcard creation, and quiz generation. the update integrates deep research into gemini live for complex report generation and adds google lens functionality to explain worksheet problems and correct mistakes via the mobile app. eligible us students receive free 1-year access to google ai pro, which includes 5tb of storage and higher gemini limits, while international students get the ai plus tier. these moves position google directly against openai's chatgpt edu and microsoft's copilot for education.
