Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Learning history is crucial for building a better future. Students can watch documentaries and films, and read books and articles, but what if there is a more immersive and personalized approach to learning history through advanced technology?

With the power of generative AI, you can now learn from the heroes and speak as though they were still here. Gen AI and its capabilities can take on the perspective of well-known people, such as historical figures, and simulate what it would be like to talk to them.

This National Heroes’ Day, National Language Month, or for any schoolwork or research, consider using Google’s Gemini to delve deeper into Philippine history. Interacting with historical figures through AI-powered conversations can bring lessons to life, providing learners with insights from the heroes themselves.

It’s simple: you can ask Gemini to speak and reply as though they were a historical figure such as Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, Gabriela Silang, and more. You can ask them about their lives, the events they’ve lived through, and what things were like when they were alive, and they’ll respond based on available historical data and accounts. You could even get their opinion on what things are like now, based on their public beliefs and ideals. (Try out prompts like “Can you answer like you were Jose Rizal?” and “Why did you fight for the Philippines?”)

Of course, this exercise is fun, but it’s also good to remember that there are some limitations. Gemini is only “speaking” based on available information in the world, and if you’re asking them for school or other research work, it’s always best to double-check any facts you’ve gotten on Google Search.

Still, it’s a great way to learn more about history and important people, as well as what Gemini is capable of. Try it out now by heading over to Gemini at https://gemini.google.com/app.
