Summary
According to a post on X by @rohanpaul_ai, Google Research extended its Vantage platform, where students solve business tasks with Gemini 3.1 Pro teammates. These AI teammates pitch flawed ideas, disagree and make false claims, but they never do the work themselves. In a 52-student trial, the Vantage group averaged 67.6% on the final business plan, compared with 60.5% for students using standard AI tools.

Why it matters
The post suggests that AI tutors designed to challenge students could support learning better than standard AI tools. Educators and edtech builders may need to consider whether AI study partners should push back rather than simply agree. The result comes from a single 52-student trial, so further research and independent replication will be important to watch.
