Google study finds AI teammates that push back improve student business plans

Google researchers report that students who practiced with "Vantage" AI teammates that push back wrote better business plans than students using standard AI tools, according to a post by Rohan Paul on X. In a 52-student trial, the Vantage group averaged 67.6% on the final plan, versus 60.5% for the control group.

Students who completed 5 to 6 practice tasks averaged 79.7%, while those who completed none averaged 59.3%.

The figures come from a secondary X post summarizing the Google paper, not from the paper itself, and the source does not describe the study's design beyond these scores.
