Google Gemini Personal Intelligence is a feature that analyses your data to provide you with more accurate and useful information. This feature primarily serves two purposes.

Google Gemini's new feature
Google Gemini Personal Intelligence: Google has launched its new Personal Intelligence feature in India, making Gemini smarter and more personal than ever. This feature allows users to integrate their various Google apps and receive custom responses from AI.
What is Personal Intelligence?
Personal Intelligence is a feature that understands your data to provide you with more accurate and useful information. This feature essentially does two things: first, extracting essential information from your emails or photos, and second, combining information from different sources to create a complete answer. When you connect Gmail, Google Photos, YouTube, and Google Search to Gemini, it understands text, photos, and videos to answer your questions.
How does this feature work?
Let's say you're planning a vacation. Gemini can pull flight booking information from your Gmail, view screenshots of locations saved in Photos, and add trending destinations based on videos you've watched on YouTube. This way, you don't have to open different apps to gather information, and Gemini automatically combines everything into a complete plan.
Can there be mistakes in this?
Google has acknowledged that this feature isn't completely perfect. Sometimes it can over-personalize and draw incorrect conclusions. For example, if many of your photos are of golf courses, Gemini might assume you like golf when the real reason might be something else. In such cases, users can directly correct Gemini.
How secure is your privacy?
According to the company, Gemini doesn't train directly on your Gmail or Photos data. It's limited to the questions and answers you provide. It also tries to avoid making unnecessary assumptions about sensitive topics.
How to setup in India?
This feature is currently rolling out to select users (AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra plans) and will gradually expand to everyone. Notably, app connections are disabled by default, meaning you'll be able to choose which apps to add.
How to set up
- First, open the Gemini app or website.
- Go to Settings
- Find Personal Intelligence Alternatives
- Connect Gmail, Photos, or other apps under Connected Apps
On which platforms will it be available?
Once this feature is activated, you can use it on all three platforms – web, Android, and iOS.
Google says this feature will be even better in the future. The company aims to make it a smart assistant that can anticipate your needs and automatically help you. With this new feature, it's clear that AI will no longer be limited to just question-answering, but is rapidly moving towards understanding and simplifying your digital life.
