Google's Gemini adds Personal Intelligence to weave your apps into smarter, more personal AI

Google is rolling out Personal Intelligence, a beta Gemini feature that lets you connect Gmail, Photos, YouTube, and Search to tailor AI responses using your own data. You can enable or disable the feature, choose which apps to connect, and disconnect anytime. It aims to provide more context-aware, personalized guidance (e.g., pulling tire specs or license plate details from your data) but Google warns of possible inaccuracies or over-personalization and seeks user feedback. The rollout is in the US for eligible subscribers.

Gemini's Personal Intelligence weaves Gmail and Photos into smarter answers

Google’s Gemini adds Personal Intelligence, a beta feature that links Gmail, Photos, YouTube, and Search so Gemini can reason across your apps and give more tailored, context-aware answers. The feature is off by default and privacy-conscious, with controls to enable per-app and opt out; it will cite where it pulled data from and won’t personalize every answer. Google says it won’t train on your Gmail inbox or Photos library; it trains on prompts and responses instead of the underlying data. Initially available to paid subscribers (AI Pro/Ultra) with plans to roll out to the free tier and across Web, Android, and iOS.
