Google takes on ChatGPT's Study Mode with new ‘Guided Learning' tool in Gemini
As the new school year approaches, Google announced on Wednesday that it's launching a new tool called Guided Learning within Gemini. The tool sort of functions like an AI tutor, as it's designed to help users build a deep understanding instead of just getting answers. The launch follows just over a week after OpenAI rolled out Study Mode for ChatGPT, which is also designed to go beyond simply obtaining answers to questions by actually helping users develop critical thinking skills. Both companies' launches come amid concerns that AI chatbots undermine the learning process because they spit out direct answers. The new tools from Google and OpenAI likely aim to address these concerns by positioning their chatbots as learning tools rather than simple answer engines. With Guided Learning, Gemini will break down problems step-by-step and adapt explanations to its users' needs. The feature responds using images, diagrams, videos, and interactive quizzes to help users build and test themselves on their knowledge, rather than simply giving them the answer. Google says the feature will help users uncover the 'why' and 'how' behind concepts. 'Whether you're preparing for an exam about enzymes, starting the first draft of a paper on the importance of bee populations in supporting our food systems, or exploring your passion for photography, Guided Learning is a collaborative thinking partner that helps you get it — each step of the way,' wrote Maureen Heymans, Google's VP of Learning and Sustainability, in a blog post. In addition to the new feature, Google announced that it's working to make Gemini as a whole better equipped to help users learn. Gemini will now automatically incorporate images, diagrams, and YouTube videos directly into responses to help users better understand complex topics. Plus, users can now also ask Gemini to create flashcards and study guides based on their quiz results or other class materials. Google also announced on Wednesday that it's offering students in the U.S., Japan, Indonesia, Korea, and Brazil a free one-year subscription to Google's AI Pro plan. The plan includes expanded access to Gemini 2.5 Pro, NotebookLM, Veo 3, Deep Research, and more. Sign in to access your portfolio

OPEC Turns The Output Tap On: What It Means For Oil ETFs
Oil-focused ETFs came under pressure this week after OPEC+ announced plans to boost production starting in September, raising fresh concerns over an oversupplied market. USO ETF is in the red today. Check its prices live, here. The cartel will unwind the last leg of its voluntary production cuts, adding roughly 547,000 barrels per day back into global supply, reported Bloomberg. The move weighed on crude prices and hit popular oil ETFs tied to near-term futures contracts. Also Read: Futures-Heavy ETFs Take A Hit ETFs like the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:USO) and United States Brent Oil Fund (NYSE:BNO) fell over 5% in the past week when speculations began. Both funds track front-month oil futures and are vulnerable in a contango environment, when futures contracts are priced higher further out, eroding returns on rollovers. Leveraged products such as the ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Crude Oil (NYSE:UCO) also saw outsized losses, down about 10% in the past week, reflecting amplified exposure to daily moves in crude prices. Also Read: Alternative Strategies Show Resilience Not all oil-linked ETFs suffered. Funds using optimized roll strategies or offering equity exposure to energy companies held up better. Equity-based funds like the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:XLE) and VanEck Oil Services ETF (NYSE:OIH) were more insulated, losing around 1.7% during the same period, with underlying holdings such as ExxonMobil Corp (NYSE:XOM) and Halliburton Co (NYSE:HAL) expected to benefit from increased drilling activity. Geopolitics Add Another Layer Of Risk The OPEC+ move comes amid rising geopolitical tensions, with reports suggesting the U.S. may consider secondary sanctions on China for importing Russian crude, like it just did for India. Investors seeking to reduce exposure to such risks may look to globally diversified resource ETFs. The SPDR S&P Global Natural Resources ETF (NYSE:GNR) and FlexShares Global Upstream Natural Resources ETF (NYSE:GUNR) offer broader exposure to energy and commodities worldwide. Outlook As oil markets digest the upcoming supply increase, ETF investors may consider shifting strategies. Futures-heavy funds could continue to face headwinds, while equity-based or globally diversified funds may offer more stability in the months ahead.
