Google Launches U.S. Beta of Gemini ‘Personal Intelligence’ to Tap Gmail, Photos and YouTube

The opt-in tool promises granular controls with no direct training on inboxes or photo libraries.

Overview

  • The feature connects Gemini to data from Gmail, Google Photos, Search, YouTube, Calendar and Drive to deliver more contextual responses.
  • Access is off by default, and users choose which apps to link and can change permissions at any time.
  • The rollout begins as a limited beta in the United States for a small group and for Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers.
  • Availability spans Android, iPhone (iOS) and the web, with integration coming to Search’s AI mode.
  • Google says Gemini will show where information comes from and accept user corrections, while independent coverage urges reviewing permissions and removing sensitive content before enabling the feature.
