Google has introduced Personal Intelligence in its Gemini app, allowing the AI assistant to deliver more personalised responses. Announced on Google’s official blog, the feature lets Gemini draw insights from a user’s Google apps, such as Gmail, Google Photos, Search, and YouTube, only with the user’s permission.
With Personal Intelligence enabled, Gemini can connect information across these services to provide more relevant help. It can pull booking details from Gmail, reference photos to recall past trips, or suggest reminders based on search and viewing history. This reduces the need to switch between apps and saves time by offering answers tailored to individual preferences.
Unlike regular AI assistants that rely mainly on general knowledge, Gemini’s approach adds contextual awareness using personal data. Google stresses that users remain in control, with the ability to turn the feature on or off and manage linked apps at any time.
Overall, Personal Intelligence transforms Gemini from a generic chatbot into a more intuitive, personalised digital assistant.
