Google is promoting 13 AI-driven tools designed to assist college students in managing summer tasks such as securing internships, preparing for admissions exams, and organizing academic materials. Features like Career Dreamer and AI Mode in Search aim to streamline job searches and application tracking, while tools like Canvas in AI Mode allow users to create dashboards for tracking deadlines and requirements. The company emphasizes practical applications, such as building study guides or refining resumes, to reduce stress during the break.

Among the tools highlighted is Gemini Notebook, which helps users refine application materials by analyzing uploaded documents like resumes and feedback. Gemini Live is introduced as a practice tool for interviews, offering real-time feedback on delivery and tone. YouTube Learning is presented as a resource for mastering new skills or hobbies, with an "Ask" feature enabling deeper exploration of educational content without leaving the platform.

Search Live is positioned as an on-demand expert for hands-on tasks, such as identifying kitchen tools or suggesting ingredient substitutions for recipes like matcha lattes. Gemini’s video analysis tool is described as a way to receive instant feedback on sports techniques, such as pickleball form, by analyzing recorded clips. Lens in the Google app is promoted for identifying plants or exploring local landmarks, with users able to ask follow-up questions about care or design inspiration.

For maintaining balance, Android’s screen time tools are recommended to set reminders or bedtime schedules to prevent excessive screen use. Additional tools like study notebooks in Gemini assist with standardized test prep, such as the GRE, by offering diagnostic quizzes and bite-sized lessons. AI Mode in Search can generate custom study guides, while Gemini Notebook’s Audio Overview feature converts notes into podcasts for on-the-go learning.
