Signal Summary

Gemini study notebooks will support graphs and images, and users will be able to add test dates and deadlines to Google Calendar from a syllabus. Deep Research is also coming to Gemini Live, which can generate research reports and discuss their results; users can close the chat and lock their phones while a report is generated, then receive a notification when it is ready. Google says a Lens feature in its mobile app will begin rolling out in the coming weeks, without giving a specific date or coverage area.

Background report generation removes the need to keep a Gemini Live conversation open while waiting, but access to the student subscription benefits depends on location, and the source does not specify which countries are included in the outside-US Google AI Plus offer.
