Google has introduced new AI-powered features in Chrome to help students study, research, and manage coursework. Announced on September 24, 2026, the update brings interactive quizzes, expanded Gemini media analysis, and improved cross-device browsing.
The new tools aim to make Chrome more useful for students preparing for exams and working with online learning materials. Additionally, Google is improving existing features that help users organise research and resume tasks across devices.
Chrome Introduces AI-Powered Quizzes and Media Analysis
First, Gemini in Chrome can now analyse audio and video content beyond YouTube on desktop. Students can use the feature with podcasts, online videos, and recorded lectures.
Once users play the content, Gemini can identify key information, summarise important points, and explain difficult sections. As a result, students can review lengthy educational material without repeatedly searching through recordings.
Moreover, Chrome can generate interactive quizzes directly from the material in an open tab. Students can use lecture notes in Google Docs, research papers, and educational videos to create practice questions.
The feature identifies important concepts and helps learners test their understanding. Therefore, students can use their own study materials to prepare for examinations and identify areas that need further attention.
Google is rolling out the quiz feature in English on desktop in the United States and India. However, the company plans to expand availability to additional regions and mobile devices in the coming months.
Chrome Improves Study Organisation Across Devices
Beyond AI quizzes, Google is introducing improvements to Chrome’s tab management and device synchronisation.
Tab Groups allow students to organise websites by course, subject, or project. Meanwhile, Split View lets users keep two webpages open side by side, making it easier to compare research and assignments.
Additionally, Chrome can now preserve a tab’s current state when users transfer it between a computer and a phone. This includes the scroll position and information entered into partially completed forms. Consequently, students can continue their work without starting over.
Chrome also offers reading tools for students who work with lengthy online material. Immersive Reading removes visual distractions, while adjustable fonts, spacing, and contrast improve readability.
Furthermore, Chrome can read webpages aloud. Its Android AI playback feature can also turn supported content into podcast-style conversations, giving students another way to review learning material.
Overall, the latest update expands Google’s efforts to integrate AI into everyday learning and research. However, availability varies by feature, platform, and region as the company continues its rollout.
