A new school year is the ultimate chance to upgrade your routine — whether you’re navigating tough new subjects, prepping for exams, or trying to stay organized across your classes. Having the right tools makes all the difference.

To help you start the semester with confidence, we’re introducing new ways to level up your learning through AI in Search, with education tools that are built to be safe by design.

1. Understand concepts with interactive visuals.

Sometimes, reading a static textbook page isn't enough to make a concept click. Search can now generate custom tools and simulations to help you see complex topics in action. Let's say you're learning about pH levels. You can do a search like "ph scale" and quickly get an interactive visual in an AI Overview to help you understand the basics.

To go even further, you can follow up and ask to see something more specialized, like plotting citrus fruits on the pH scale, and AI Mode will create a customized experience just for your question. Or, if you already have a hyper-specific question in mind, head straight to AI Mode and describe the tool or visual you need. Generative UI capabilities have launched globally in English in AI Mode and have started rolling out as well in AI Overviews.

2. Test your knowledge with practice quizzes.

3. Learn each step with Lens.

Need extra clarification? Ask a follow-up question and keep the conversation going in AI Mode, while you explore relevant sites on the web. This new experience with Lens will roll out globally in English over the coming weeks.

4. Stay organized with notebooks.

5. Create custom files to streamline your studies.
