Google Rolls Out Personal Intelligence in India

Tech giant Google (GOOGL) is expanding its Gemini AI by rolling out “Personal Intelligence” to users in India, after first launching it in the U.S. earlier this year. The feature is meant to make Gemini more helpful by connecting information across apps like Gmail, Google Photos, YouTube, and Search. However, it is turned off by default, which means users have to choose to enable it and decide exactly which apps to connect.

Interestingly, the main advantage of Personal Intelligence is that it can pull together information from different places to answer questions more clearly. For example, if someone asks about a trip, Gemini can gather booking details from Gmail, find related images from Photos, and even suggest places based on YouTube videos they watched. As a result, instead of checking multiple apps, users get one organized answer. This works because Gemini can understand and combine text, images, and videos, which allows it to give more personalized responses based on a user’s own information.

However, privacy is still a big focus, especially as AI tools become more advanced. Google says Gemini does not train directly on personal data like emails or photos, but instead uses limited and filtered information from user interactions to improve over time. In addition, users can see where answers come from, correct mistakes, or turn personalization off completely. While the feature is still being tested and may sometimes give incorrect or overly personalized answers, Google says it will continue improving it as it rolls out to more users in the coming weeks.
