Google is expanding its push into AI-powered learning by adding full-length practice tests in Gemini for the Joint Entrance Exam (JEE), India's nationwide engineering exam used to shortlist candidates for the country's top technical institutes and taken by millions of students each year. Google said students can take full-length mock exams for the JEE within Gemini, which will offer questions based on vetted content from Indian education firms PhysicsWallah and Careers360.
Perhaps sensing that feeding more data into Gemini would give many people the creeps, Google's announcement explains at great length how the company has approached privacy in Personal Intelligence. Google isn't getting any new information about you-your photos, email, and search behaviors are already stored on Google's servers, so "you don't have to send sensitive data elsewhere to start personalizing your experience."
Google's latest addition to its NotebookLM artificial intelligence research platform is a feature called Data Tables. The tool can collect and synthesize information across multiple sources into a chart that can be exported to Google Sheets. All Pro and Ultra users will have access to the feature today, and Data Tables will roll out to all users over the coming weeks.
Gemini will scan the video's visuals and audio for Google's proprietary watermark called SynthID. The response will be more than a yes or no, Google says. Gemini will point out specific times when the watermark appears in the video or audio. The company rolled out this capability for images in November, also limited to images made or edited with Google AI.
Gemini and Grok lead chatbots in growth While ChatGPT remains the dominant tool in the space with 54 million visitors on desktop, reflecting an 86% year-to-date (YTD) growth, Gemini grew at 971% YTD on desktop, with 19 million total visitors. Grok also saw high growth, with 472% YTD growth on mobile, coming in at 4 million visitors, and 286% growth on desktop, with 1 million visitors.
It's a bright morning. Begin your day with a playful and lighthearted attitude as the moon wanders through lively Gemini. Stimulating conversations and quick decisions may spark curiosity around what needs adjusting in your life. Wait until this evening to instigate any changes or articulate your ideas. The clarifying full moon in Gemini rises with a call for honesty. When you put an end to self-sabotaging, counter-productive behavior, you'll feel more at ease.
On the consumer side, one of the things we talk about from a Gemini perspective is the fact that it is easily integrated into our Google Suite, which we think is our biggest differentiator. We always lean into the ability to supercharge productivity as well as creativity, and being able to do that 10-fold if you compare it to the competitors in the marketplace, because we have an integrated stack.
You know, look, I'm uh I'm pretty active on launch day trying to understand what's working. I'm looking for feedback. Um both, you know, an example, I'm on X trying to understand like see if people, average users how they're experiencing the product. I probably ping people back saying, look, you know, this is a valid point, we should address it. So, in some sense, I'm looking at that trying to assess it.
