The competitor to ChatGPT will be offered in two distinct bundles, the least expensive of which, Gemini Education, will offer an affordable means for establishments to begin utilizing AI by restricting activity to a monthly maximum.

More capabilities, such AI note-taking in Meet and improved data loss prevention, are available with the more expensive Gemini Education Premium. Additionally, it does away with the monthly cap and says it will gradually add more features.

Access to the Gemini chatbot (gemini.google.com), which offers enterprise data security and supports more than 40 languages, is also included in both packages. 1.0 Pro, which powers the ordinary Gemini chatbot, is used in the plans instead of 1.0 Ultra, which powers Gemini Advanced.

The release from the company states that Gemini has shown to be very well-liked by educators. In order to solve this, it has announced two upcoming new integrations with OpenStax and Data Commons. By employing a @ symbol, users can interact with the extensions directly from within the Gemini interface. For instance, they can ask, “@OpenStax, how does the Moon’s distance and orbital path influence the type of solar eclipse we see?” and draw on their added knowledge and context.

“AI can never replace the expertise, knowledge, or creativity of an educator, but it can be a helpful tool to enhance and enrich teaching and learning experiences,” said blog post author and Google for Education vice president Shantanu Sinha in a statement.
