Google Brings Gemini ‘Personal Intelligence’ to Mexico and Argentina

The opt-in tool tailors answers using data from Gmail, Photos, Search, YouTube, Maps under strict privacy controls.

Overview

  • The rollout, which began Tuesday for Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra subscribers, will extend to free users in the coming weeks.
  • Personal Intelligence links a user’s Google apps so Gemini can reason over emails, photos, searches and viewing history to give context-aware replies, such as recommending tires based on driving patterns in Maps.
  • The feature is off by default, and users choose which apps to connect, can delete activity, and can turn off the use of prior chats for personalization.
  • Google says connected personal content is not used to train its AI models, and Gemini only accesses it to answer a specific request while trying to cite the original source.
  • Access is available on the web, Android and iOS for personal accounts only, and the beta label signals possible inaccuracies and invites feedback from users.
