A few ways to responsibly use AI chatbots for learning.
Whether you need help turning your scribbled notes into something readable or creating study guides, flash cards or quizzes, the latest AI chatbots can help turbocharge your learning.
Having trouble deciding which AI chatbot is right for you? ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini are all capable, but here’s how each one stands out.
Create the perfect study schedule
Baseline skill: All four chatbots can help you create personalised study schedules. Upload your weekly schedule along with your current classes and ask the app to make a customised study plan that lets you take weekends and Thursday nights off. The apps will suggest when to get started on homework and projects – and when to kick your studying up a notch ahead of exams.
Star students: Gemini can put your custom study plan right into your Google calendar. ChatGPT can send you push notification reminders.
Prerequisites: To connect Gemini to your Google Calendar, tap the Apps button in settings and toggle on the Google Workspace integration. ChatGPT enables push notifications when using the o3 and o4-mini models.
Sample prompt: Upload your class schedule, then enter, “Make a customised study plan that lets me take weekends off, prepares me for tests and tells me when to get started on homework.” From there, tell Gemini, “Add this schedule to my Google calendar,” or tell ChatGPT, “Send me automatic reminders.”
