The updated Gemini can retrieve specific details from emails, photos, or search results to deliver personalized responses. For example, it can combine vehicle details from Gmail and photos to recommend products, like all-weather tires, that match a user’s needs. Users also have the option to request non-personalized answers for sensitive topics such as healthcare.
Privacy and Security
Privacy remains a top priority. Connecting apps to Gemini is off by default. Users can choose which apps to link, and can disconnect anytime. Google emphasizes that Gemini does not train directly on personal data but uses prompts to locate requested information, ensuring sensitive details like license plates are never stored for training purposes.
Limitations and Feedback
Despite the advancements, Personal Intelligence may occasionally produce errors, especially if unrelated topics are connected or context is misunderstood. Google encourages user feedback, allowing a “thumbs down” option to help improve accuracy.
Availability
The feature is currently in beta for Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers in the U.S., with plans to expand to additional countries and free-tier users soon. It works across web, Android, and iOS platforms and supports all Gemini model variations.
Future of Gemini AI
Google is also preparing to integrate Personal Intelligence functionality in AI Mode in Search, allowing users to experience tailored insights directly in their queries. This update highlights the growing trend of agentic AI, blending personalization with cross-platform intelligence while keeping user control at the forefront.
