Google has now announced that its Personal Intelligence feature is now available for all users in the US, including the ones using the free plan. Earlier, restricted to only AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers, the update now brings personalisation tools to a much wider audience. “Since introducing Personal Intelligence earlier this year, people are appreciating the highly tailored help they’re getting in AI Mode in Search and the Gemini app — and they’re asking new types of questions. Now, we’re expanding Personal Intelligence in the U.S. across AI Mode in Search, the Gemini app and Gemini in Chrome,” Google said in a blog post.
How Personal Intelligence works
Personal Intelligence allows you to securely connect the dots across your Google apps — like Gmail, Google Photos and more — to provide responses that are uniquely relevant to you. Whether you’re looking for a specific brand of sneakers you previously purchased, or planning a family getaway based on your hotel confirmations and past travel memories, Personal Intelligence helps you find exactly what you need without having to give all the context.Google has also stressed on the fact that Personal Intelligence is opt-in only. Users can choose which apps to connect and disconnect them at any time. It is also important to note that Google clarified that Gemini and AI mode do not train directly on Gmail inboxes or photo libraries, but only on limited prompt and response data.“Personal Intelligence was designed with transparency, choice and control at its core. You choose if and when you want to connect apps like Gmail and Google Photos, and you can turn those connections on or off at any time. Built with privacy in mind, Gemini and AI Mode don’t train directly on your Gmail inbox or Google Photos library. We train on limited info, like specific prompts in Gemini or AI Mode and the model’s responses, to improve functionality over time,” added Google.
