Personal Intelligence, a feature of the Gemini app, is now available for free users in the US, following its introduction earlier this month. This update allows the app to use information from various sources such as Gmail, Calendar, Drive, and Google Photos to provide personalized responses without additional prompts. Users can manage access to these services through the account menu.
In addition to this update, Google has also rolled out a feature called Memory, which was formerly known as "Past Gemini chats." This functionality enables the app to reference previous conversations to enhance personalization. Previously, Personal Intelligence required a paid Google AI Plan upon its launch in January.
The interface of the Gemini app includes a redesign where a glowing effect appears around the pill-shaped overlay upon activating it, which fades after a moment. This glow is primarily blue, with red, yellow, and green highlights at the bottom, reminiscent of earlier screen automation features.
