Google Expands Gemini’s ‘Personal Intelligence’ to Canada and the Arab World for Paid Users

The opt-in tool links core Google apps to tailor answers from a user's data.

Overview

  • Google broadened access to Gemini’s Personal Intelligence for paying subscribers in Canada and across the Arab world on Tuesday, with Syria excluded in this phase.
  • Access starts with Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra members, with Google saying free accounts will gain the feature in the coming weeks.
  • Personal Intelligence connects to Gmail, Photos, Search, and YouTube to pull details and reason across a user’s content for tasks like trip plans, targeted recommendations, and tech troubleshooting.
  • The feature is off by default, requires manual opt-in and per‑app connections, and includes controls to delete chat history or ask for a non‑personalized reply.
  • Availability is limited to personal Google accounts, not Workspace for business, enterprise, or education, and it works on the web, Android, and iOS once enabled.
