Google’s Personal Intelligence Now Available to All Gemini Users
Google has expanded access to its Personal Intelligence feature, bringing personalized AI experiences to all Gemini users in the U.S., including those on the free tier. Initially tested with paid subscribers, Personal Intelligence connects Gemini to Google apps like Gmail, Photos, YouTube, and Search to provide more relevant and helpful responses.
What is Personal Intelligence?
Personal Intelligence allows Gemini to draw upon information from a user’s Google account – including emails, purchases, and search history – to offer tailored assistance. The feature is designed to help users “find exactly what you require without having to offer all the context,” according to Google [9to5Google].
How Does it Work?
Here are some examples of how Personal Intelligence can be used:
- Custom Shopping Recommendations: Gemini can suggest products that complement past purchases, such as a bag to match modern shoes.
- Tech Help: Users can receive troubleshooting assistance for products without needing to know the model number, as Gemini can access purchase receipt information.
- Travel Planning: Gemini can recommend restaurants and activities based on a user’s preferences and past travel history.
Privacy and Control
Google emphasizes that Personal Intelligence is designed with privacy in mind. Connecting apps is optional, and users can enable or disable these connections at any time [Google Blog]. Gemini and AI Mode do not directly train on Gmail inboxes or Google Photos libraries, but prompts and responses can be used to improve functionality [MacRumors].
Availability
Personal Intelligence is currently available in the U.S. Across AI Mode in Search, the Gemini app, and Gemini in Chrome. It is available for personal Google accounts and is not yet available for Workspace business, enterprise, or education users [MacRumors]. Google plans to expand availability to more countries and free tiers in the future [Google Blog].
Gemini and Google Workspace
Whereas Personal Intelligence is not currently available for Workspace users, Gemini is integrated into several Google Workspace applications, including Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and more, offering AI-powered assistance for tasks like drafting emails, creating presentations, and streamlining project management [Google Workspace].
The rollout of Personal Intelligence to all Gemini users marks a significant step towards more personalized and helpful AI experiences within the Google ecosystem.
