Google has launched a new application called Learn About (available only in the U.S.; I used Mozilla VPN to test it). It works pretty well but not perfectly. What's fun is that after you ask a question it will suggest related topics to explorer, creating new questions which it then answers. I like that it gave pronunciations of key concepts. I asked it for maps, which it sourced from YouTube, and images, which it sourced from Amazon and Bridgeman. Unfortunately, it also gave me an image when I asked for an example of a Javascript application. Part way through testing it stopped functioning and when I tried a different browser it asked me to join a waitlist. Via Donald Clark.
