Following the announcement in January, Google is now bringing Personal Intelligence to free users in the Gemini app, Gemini in Chrome, and AI Mode.
What Personal Intelligence does
Personal Intelligence taps into Google Workspace (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, etc.), Google Photos, YouTube, Search, Maps, and other first‑party apps to “provide responses that are uniquely relevant to you.” It retrieves details about your preferences from text, photos, and videos to customize the Gemini or AI Mode answer without you having to specify them in the prompt.
Troubleshoot without the headache
Get help resolving your next tech issue—even if you don’t remember the exact product you bought. Just explain the problem and receive specific debugging steps (e.g., power cycling or factory resets) tailored to the exact device model from your purchase receipts.
Navigate tight schedules with ease
If you have a layover and need to grab a bite, you’ll automatically get suggestions that account for the foods you like, your exact arrival and departure gates, walking time between them, and the time you have before your next flight boards.
Create a custom travel itinerary
Skip generic “top 10” lists. When looking for hidden gems in a city (e.g., Chicago), you’ll receive recommendations based on your unique interests and past favorites, helping you uncover local eats and neighborhoods tailored specifically to you.
Discover a new hobby
Find the perfect activity tailored to your interests—even ones you didn’t realize you’d enjoy, such as poetry, based on your reading habits and love of nature.
Availability and rollout
After previously requiring a paid Google AI plan, Personal Intelligence is now available for all AI Mode users in the US. Users must explicitly opt‑in to this personalization and can disable specific apps.
Personal Intelligence is also rolling out to free users of the Gemini app and Gemini in Chrome in the US. A personal Google Account is required, and “Personal Intelligence” will appear in the account menu once it becomes available.
