US and international university students gain complimentary access to Google's advanced AI Pro plan
Google has announced a generous offer for college students aged 18 and older in the United States, Japan, Indonesia, Korea, and Brazil. The tech giant is providing a comprehensive suite of advanced AI learning tools for 12 months at no cost [1][2]. Here's what students can expect from this free AI Pro plan:
Gemini 2.5 Pro model
The highlight of this plan is the Gemini 2.5 Pro model, a powerful multimodal AI. This AI is capable of answering questions, analyzing uploaded images, and providing quick homework help, essay writing assistance, and detailed research support [1][2][3][4]. It supports unlimited chat, image uploads, quiz generation, and offers Guided Learning mode that provides personalized study guides, flashcards, and step-by-step feedback to aid learning effectively.
NotebookLM
NotebookLM, an AI-powered digital notebook, is designed as a “thinking companion” [1][2]. It helps organize thoughts, study materials, and projects, now enhanced with five times more audio and video overviews to enrich the learning experience.
Deep Research
Deep Research provides custom research reports by extracting in-depth information from hundreds of trusted web sources, integrated with the Gemini 2.5 Pro for more thorough academic research [1][2].
Veo 3
Veo 3 is a creative AI tool that transforms text or photos into 8-second videos with sound, useful for presentations or creative projects [1].
Jules
Jules is an asynchronous AI coding agent that assists with coding tasks by fixing bugs and building new software features [1]. With the AI Pro plan, students can enjoy higher usage limits.
Storage and Integration
The plan includes 2 terabytes (TB) of storage across Google Photos, Drive, and Gmail for all notes, projects, photos, and academic papers [1][2].
Additional Benefits
Students can generate unlimited custom quizzes, flashcards, and study guides tailored to their classes, making exam preparation more effective and personalized [2].
To access this free 12-month plan, students need to sign up by October 6, 2025 [1][2]. Google intends to expand this offer to more countries later [1][2]. This initiative reflects Google’s commitment to enhancing student learning through AI by providing tools that serve as tutors, research assistants, and project collaborators all in one platform [3][5].
Moreover, eligible students can access 2TB of Cloud storage [1]. The 2.5 Flash-Lite model, Google's fastest version of Gemini, is already being used by companies like Satlyt for processing telemetry and satellite data [6]. It's a cost-efficient model, allowing developers to process queries and data without high costs.
In addition, Google's latest video generation model, Veo 3, allows students to create eight-second clips with sound [7]. The 2.5 Flash-Lite model may not be as strong for complex, heavier tasks, but Google aims to strike a balance between speed and strength [8]. The Gemini 2.5 Pro model features multi-step reasoning and certain techniques to reach reasonable conclusions [9].
