Google's AI Assistant Gemini Now Accesses More Google Apps for Personalized Insights.
A new feature in Gemini, Google's AI assistant, is now available to US users with Google AI Pro or Ultra subscriptions. "Personal Intelligence" pulls context from multiple sources across the user's Google ecosystem, including Gmail, Google Photos, Search and YouTube History, to provide more personalized answers and recommendations. This opt-in only feature allows users to control which apps Gemini accesses for this purpose.
While Personal Intelligence aims to provide a tailored experience, it may still make mistakes, such as drawing unrelated connections between pieces of information. However, Gemini will not train directly on data from personal accounts like photos and emails; instead, it will use prompts and responses.
Users have the option to prompt Gemini to "try again" without using Personal Intelligence or delete chat histories. The company has stated that this feature might lead to some errors, particularly in cases of "over-personalization."
For now, Personal Intelligence is available in the Gemini app across web, Android, and iOS for personal Google accounts. It's also set to be integrated into Search's AI Mode soon, with plans to expand to more countries and the free tier in the future.
This latest update reflects Google's efforts to integrate its various AI tools and services, following recent collaborations with Apple to power Siri AI. However, as AI continues to evolve, users should remain aware of potential inaccuracies and limitations.
