OpenAI launches Study Mode in ChatGPT

OpenAI has launched Study Mode in ChatGPT, a new feature designed to support guided, interactive learning rather than simply providing answers. It’s now available to all logged-in Free, Plus, Pro, and Team users, with ChatGPT Edu access coming soon.

Key Points: 

• Interactive Learning Support: Study Mode uses Socratic questioning to prompt deeper thinking, encourages step-by-step reasoning, and avoids giving away solutions too quickly.

• Personalized Guidance: It tailors explanations based on your level and goals, gradually building complexity through dialogue, knowledge checks, and structured hints.

• Flexible User Control: Users can toggle Study Mode on or off at any time within a chat. It doesn’t require setup, and memory (if enabled) helps refine learning over time.

• Contextual Assistance: You can upload notes, PDFs, or images, and ChatGPT will adapt its guidance based on that material to assist with specific coursework or study needs.

• Educational Purpose: The feature was developed with input from educators and learning scientists, and is part of OpenAI’s effort to position ChatGPT as a tool for genuine academic engagement.

Reviews describe Study Mode as a step toward responsible AI use in education. While it promotes active learning, critics point out that students can still bypass it for quick answers, and some teachers worry about long-term effects on independent thinking.

AI AND INNOVATION

Google’s NotebookLM rolls out Video Overviews

Google’s NotebookLM just rolled out a new feature called Video Overviews that turns your documents into narrated visual summaries. It helps you understand complex topics faster by showing key points as slides with voiceover and graphics.

Details:

• You can create a Video Overview from any uploaded file, like a PDF or slide deck, directly inside the Studio panel.

• The tool lets you choose your focus: you can ask for a beginner-friendly summary, a deeper dive, or something tailored to a specific audience.

• Video Overviews appear alongside other outputs like Mind Maps, Audio Overviews, and written Reports, all inside one notebook.

• You can generate multiple versions of a video or audio overview in the same project, then share just one output without exposing your whole file.

• The feature is rolling out now in English, with full access expected by the week of August 4. Other languages are planned for later.

It doesn’t replace full editing tools, but it’s useful for students, teams, or anyone needing quick, visual takeaways from detailed material.
