Google Teases 'Gemini for Kids' AI with Storytelling and Homework Help Features
April 1, 2025
Additionally, Google has launched Gemini 2.5 Pro, which is recognized for its improved reasoning and performance, now available to Samsung Galaxy users with a Gemini Advanced subscription.
Currently, the AI Overviews feature, which provides options for summarizing and extracting text, is exclusive to the mobile app, with plans for a web version in the future.
As Google rapidly introduces new features for Gemini, the anticipation for further announcements regarding its capabilities continues to grow.
Google's commitment to child-friendly technology is further demonstrated through collaborations with Samsung, including products like the Galaxy Watch for Kids.
Currently, most AI chatbots impose restrictions for minors, particularly those under 13, focusing on user privacy and safety.
Google is set to enhance its Gemini AI with a new version aimed specifically at children, tentatively named 'Gemini for Kids.'
This initiative was hinted at through code snippets discovered during an APK teardown, which included references to features for 'kid users' such as story creation and homework assistance.
The child-oriented model is expected to incorporate parental controls and be tailored to better understand and respond to childlike language.
A simplified data usage disclaimer will be included, emphasizing the importance of children verifying the AI's responses.
While the introduction of 'Gemini for Kids' is not guaranteed, an official announcement may come during the upcoming Google I/O event in May 2025.
The existing Gemini features, such as the Circle to Search function, allow users to summarize, explain, and extract text from images, enhancing interaction with visual content.
These features are currently in beta for the Google app and are expected to roll out to more Android devices, including Samsung Galaxy models.
