Google Launches Gemini 'Personal Intelligence' Beta in the U.S.

The opt-in feature links select Google apps to deliver context-aware answers without training on private data.

Overview

  • Access is rolling out to eligible Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers in the U.S. across web, Android and iOS, with Workspace, business and education accounts excluded.
  • Users must enable the feature and can choose which apps to connect or disconnect at any time, with data used only to fulfill specific requests.
  • Google says Gemini does not train directly on Gmail inboxes or Google Photos libraries and instead learns from filtered prompts and responses.
  • Demos highlight retrieval and reasoning across personal content, such as pulling tire specs and a license plate from emails and photos to tailor recommendations.
  • Google cautions the beta can produce inaccuracies or over-personalization, invites feedback, and signals future expansion including integration with Search’s AI Mode.
