 Top features for students to learn faster, smarter

The way we search for information is changing with developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Google's AI Mode has officially launched for all users, bringing a fresh approach to how we find and learn information online.

This new feature, built on the Gemini 2.5 system, marks a major shift in search technology.After just weeks of testing in Search Labs, AI Mode is now available to English-language users across India and beyond, and you no longer need to sign up for Google Labs to access it. In the coming days, as it is rolled out to more users, the feature will be available in both search and search bar in the google app. This change makes the feature accessible to everyone, moving beyond the traditional list of blue links.

According to reports, the success of the initial experimental launch prompted Google to fast-track the broader rollout.

Users consistently praised the speed and quality of responses, which led the company to make this powerful feature accessible to everyone without barriers.Traditional search often leaves us jumping between multiple tabs, piecing together information from various sources, and struggling to find complete answers to complex questions.

AI Mode addresses these problems by providing clear, helpful responses that understand what you're really looking for. Try these 7 useful features to improve how you learn.


Ask multiple queries simultaneously

Instead of breaking down your query into multiple searches, ask everything at once. For example, rather than searching separately for "indoor activities," "kids age 6-8," and "hot weather," ask: "What are good indoor activities for energetic 6 and 8-year-olds when it's too hot to go outside and we don't have much space or special equipment?"AI mode processes all these parameters together, saving time and providing more targeted results.


Follow up with your searches

Take advantage of the conversation memory feature. After getting an initial response, ask for:

  • More specific details about certain points
  • Examples or step-by-step instructions
  • Alternative approaches or solutions
  • Clarification on complex concepts

The system remembers your original question, so you don't need to repeat the context.


Use voice commands to go hands-free

Use voice commands when you're cooking, commuting, or doing other activities. This is particularly useful for:

  • Getting recipe instructions while cooking
  • Learning about topics during commutes
  • Asking questions while exercising or walking
  • Accessing information when your hands are busy

Upload images for visual learning

Use Google Lens integration to:

  • Identify plants, animals, or objects you encounter
  • Get information about landmarks or artwork
  • Understand diagrams or charts
  • Translate text in images
  • Learn about historical artefacts or scientific specimens

Customise your learning path

Since AI mode provides organised, synthesised information, use it to:

  • Start with broad topic overviews
  • Then drill down into specific aspects
  • Ask for real-world applications
  • Request examples that relate to your situation
  • Get step-by-step guidance for practical tasks

Maximise the speed benefits

AI mode uses "query fan-out" technology to process questions quickly. To get the best results:

  • Be specific about what you want to learn
  • Include context about your current knowledge level
  • Ask for information in the format you prefer (lists, explanations, examples)
  • Specify if you want beginner, intermediate, or advanced information

Make the most of source integration

AI mode pulls information from multiple sources and presents it in a unified response. Use this feature by:

  • Checking the provided source links for deeper information
  • Asking for additional sources if you need more references
  • Requesting different perspectives on controversial topics
  • Asking for the most recent information on rapidly changing subjects
