Google’s AI just got up close and personal with you. Gemini is getting a new personalization feature that lets artificial intelligence use information from connected Google apps — like Calendar, Photos and Gmail — to deliver more informed, individually tailored answers, the company announced Wednesday.
The personalization feature is in beta for paid Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the US. Don’t worry if you haven’t seen it yet – it’s rolling out starting Wednesday and should be available to subscribers by the end of the week. It’s compatible across the web, Android, and iOS versions of Gemini for personal Google accounts (but not Workplace or Enterprise accounts). The feature will soon be available for free and to non-US users, and there is a planned integration with Artificial intelligence fashion In future research.
Gemini has long been able to retrieve information from your Google ecosystem, starting with 2023 When it was still called cold. But this week’s update gives Gemini the power to use that information and reason. This means Gemini can answer your search queries using the full stack of your Google Apps data, and uses that to make more informed, personalized recommendations.
For example, if you ask Gemini which tires are best for your make and model of car, the regular version of Gemini will be able to offer several different specifications that can work. For example, with personalization, Gemini will use the information in your calendar and photos, recognize that you have an interest in off-road trips or camping trips and add a recommendation for all-terrain tires to the list. Here’s a real-life example from Josh Woodward, vice president of Gemini and Google Labs, who has been using the personalization feature and said in a blog post that it made his daily life easier.

The benefit of connecting your Google Apps is that it can reason across diverse sources and retrieve specific details by “working across text, images and video to deliver uniquely tailored answers,” the company says. This multimedia capability is important, since much of the important information in our lives is usually spread between different formats – PDFs, emails, photos, videos, and more.

This feature is turned off by default, so you don’t have to worry about Google automatically pulling data from your other apps. You can select which Google apps you want to link to the Personalization feature when you initially set it up; For example, you could decide to link your Google Calendar and Photos, but not your Gmail.
Google won’t use your entire Gmail inbox or data from other connected apps to train its AI models, but the company can “train on limited information, such as specific prompts in Gemini and form responses, to improve functionality over time,” according to the blog post. This is in line with Gemini’s comprehensive privacy policy.
