Google announced that its Gemini AI will be able to connect with users’ Gmail, Google Photos, Search history, and YouTube activity to deliver more “exceptionally useful” and personalized responses. The new optional feature, called Personal Intelligence, allows Gemini to reason across a user’s Google account data and proactively extract relevant details from emails or photos without requiring explicit prompts.
Google emphasized that Gemini is not directly trained on individual users’ Gmail inboxes or Google Photos libraries, but instead on limited information such as user prompts and model responses. Users who enable the feature can choose which apps to connect. According to Josh Woodward, vice president of Gemini, Google Labs, and AI Studio, the tool can offer highly tailored recommendations for books, shows, clothing, and travel.
