Google has expanded access to its Personal Intelligence feature to all users in the US, as reported by The Verge. Previously exclusive to Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers, this feature now allows free-tier users to leverage Gemini’s contextual responses and suggestions through AI Mode in Search, Gemini in Chrome, and the Gemini app.
Personal Intelligence utilizes data from connected apps like YouTube, Google Photos, and Gmail to personalize Gemini’s responses automatically. For instance, it can offer tailored shopping recommendations based on recent purchases or provide tech support based on device information already known to Gemini. The feature, however, is currently limited to personal Google accounts, excluding business, enterprise, and education users.
While the feature is opt-in, allowing users to control the data used for personalization, Google ensures that Gemini and AI Mode do not directly access Gmail inboxes or Google Photos libraries for training purposes. Users can disconnect apps from Personal Intelligence at any time, maintaining control over their data privacy.
