Google has announced that the Gemini app can now create interactive simulations and models directly within chats, making it easier to understand complex topics. This will allow users to explore complicated concepts visually instead of relying only on text explanations.
Earlier, most responses from Gemini included written explanations and sometimes static diagrams. While those diagrams helped explain certain topics, they did not allow users to experiment or interact with the concepts. ‘Now, we’re delivering functional simulations that can help you better understand the topic you’re asking Gemini about,’ Google said.
For example, if someone wants to understand how the Moon orbits the Earth, Gemini will no longer show a fixed diagram. Instead, users can interact with the simulation and change certain parameters to see how they affect the system.
This kind of interactive learning could be particularly useful for students, educators and anyone trying to understand complex ideas more easily.
Google says the feature is rolling out globally to all Gemini app users (except Education and Workspace accounts). To try the feature, just head to gemini.google.com and select the Pro model in the prompt bar, then ask Gemini to ‘show me’ or ‘help me visualise’ a complex concept.

Interestingly, OpenAI last month announced a similar interactive learning feature for ChatGPT to make learning math and science concepts easier. Even Anthropic also introduced a similar feature for Claude that generates charts, diagrams and other visual elements to help users better understand topics.
