Google's AI chatbot Gemini has recently undergone a major capability upgrade, officially launching a core feature called "Personal Intelligence." This update marks Gemini's evolution from a simple conversational tool into a digital assistant capable of deeply understanding users' personal habits.

With this feature, users can seamlessly connect their Gmail emails, Google Photos albums, search history, and YouTube viewing history with Gemini. Unlike previous simple information retrieval, the new version, supported by the latest Gemini3 series large model, has comprehensive reasoning capabilities across applications and data sources. This means that users don't need to explicitly specify the source of information; Gemini can automatically connect various pieces of information and provide accurate recommendations.

In official demonstrations, when a user asks about the tire specifications of their car, Gemini not only provides standard parameters but also infers from photos in the user's album showing family road trips that they often take long journeys, thereby recommending tires more suitable for all-weather conditions. This deep insight based on personal context makes AI answers more targeted and "human-like."

Regarding the privacy issues most concerning users, Google clearly stated that the "Personal Intelligence" feature strictly follows the "opt-in" principle. Unless users manually choose to enable it, Gemini will not automatically access any private data, ensuring that users maintain absolute control over their personal information while enjoying convenient services.

Key points:

  • 🔗 Deep integration:Gemini can now connect to Gmail, albums, search, and YouTube records, enabling comprehensive analysis of multiple data sources without requiring users to repeatedly switch apps to provide context.

  • 💡 Intelligent reasoning: Relying on the latest Gemini3 model, AI can infer users' potential needs based on their historical records (such as travel photos) and provide customized lifestyle advice.

  • 🔐 Privacy control: Google emphasized that this feature is optional, and users must actively enable authorization for Gemini to access private information, ensuring transparency in data usage.
