Google has added its new AI model Gemini to its education tools to help students with writing. The update is part of Google’s effort to support learning in classrooms using smart technology. Teachers and students will now see Gemini features inside Google Docs and other Workspace for Education apps.

Gemini can give real-time suggestions as students write. It helps with grammar, sentence structure, and clarity. The tool also offers ideas to improve vocabulary or rephrase awkward sentences. Students can ask simple questions like “How do I start this paragraph?” or “Can you make this sound better?” and get useful answers right away.
The new features are designed to guide, not replace, student thinking. Google says the goal is to build confidence and skills, not to do the work for them. Teachers can control how much help students receive. They can turn features on or off based on classroom needs.
Privacy remains a top priority. All student data stays protected under Google’s existing education policies. Nothing students write using these tools is used to train public AI models. Schools keep full control over their information.
The rollout begins this week for select schools using Google Workspace for Education Plus. More schools will get access in the coming months. Google worked with educators and students during testing to shape how Gemini gives feedback. Their input helped make the tool more helpful and less intrusive.

This move puts Google in step with other tech companies adding AI to learning tools. But Google stresses that its approach focuses on responsible use. The company believes AI should act like a tutor—offering hints and encouragement while letting students do the actual writing.
