The short version
- This means that images can be generated based on Gemini’s understanding of your likes and preferences without you having to specify them in your prompt.
- Gemini utilizes data from your Google account connections — such as Gmail, Google Photos, YouTube, and Search — to achieve this.
- For example, instead of saying, “Create an illustration of me and my favorite things, such as coffee and baking,” you can simply request, “Create an illustration of me and my favorite things.”
- Gemini can also pull actual images of you from Google Photos, so you don’t need to manually upload photos.
What happened
Google initially rolled out the Personal Intelligence feature earlier this year, making it widely available to all U.S. users in March. The company recently expanded this functionality to users in India and Japan.
Why it matters
Personal Intelligence is an opt-in feature, allowing you to decide which apps Gemini can access.
