Google is set to expand the reach of its “Personal Intelligence” feature for Gemini worldwide, following an initial trial phase restricted to users in the United States, in a move designed to make the AI assistant more intuitive and attuned to individual user needs.
The expansion marks a significant step in Google’s strategy to integrate its generative artificial intelligence more deeply into the daily digital lives of its global user base.
Personal Intelligence allows Gemini to forge direct connections with a suite of Google services, including Gmail, YouTube, Calendar, Drive, Search, and Maps. By accessing this foundational data, the chatbot can provide highly personalised responses tailored to a user’s specific context and history.
Privacy remains a central pillar of the rollout, with Google confirming that users will maintain full control over which applications are linked to the AI.
Subscribers will have the autonomy to toggle access on or off for individual apps within the Google ecosystem, ensuring that the AI only “knows” what the user permits it to see.
The feature is currently being prioritised for premium tier subscribers. Users on the Google AI Plus, AI Pro, and AI Ultra plans will be the first to experience the enhanced customisation.
Those using the free version of Gemini will not have to wait long, as the company has indicated that a general rollout for all users is expected in the near future.
