Google's giving free Gemini Advanced to every US college student

Gemini is a powerful AI-powered chatbot — from live two-way voice chats to analyzing your large files — and it’s a real perk that comes baked into even budget Android phones. You can take Gemini’s capabilities a couple of notches higher with the paid Google One AI Premium Plan, which gives you access to Google’s most advanced large language models and deeper AI integration across services like Gmail and Docs. Just as the college year is about to begin, Google has a special treat for students in the US: free access to Gemini Advanced to help make college life a little easier to sail through.
