Google has made its Personal Intelligence feature for Gemini available globally. This feature personalizes the AI assistant experience by using data from a Google account, including Gmail, Google Photos, and YouTube search history.
Availability
The feature is available in most major markets. It is not available in the United Kingdom, Nigeria, South Korea, Switzerland, and the European Economic Area. Google is rolling out the feature in phases. Subscribers to premium tiers—Plus, Pro, and Ultra—will get access first. Free users will get access in the coming weeks.
Setup
To enable Personal Intelligence, users can access the feature through Gemini’s web interface. An activation prompt will appear. Users can also go to the Connect apps section within Gemini’s settings. Then, they can turn on the Google services they want to integrate with the assistant.
The feature is off by default to protect user privacy. Google will not use personal data, such as Gmail and Google Photos, to train models.
User Control and Privacy
The platform lets users control the Personal Intelligence feature. Users can turn off the feature for individual conversations. To do this, they select the Tools icon in the chat interface and turn off Personal Intelligence. This setting only applies to the current session. Subsequent conversations will use linked Google services unless changed.
Note: The feature may not be immediately available to all users.
