Google brings its Gemini Personal Intelligence feature to India

Googleannouncedon Tuesday that it’s bringing Gemini’s Personal Intelligence feature to users in India. The feature lets users connect their Google accounts, such as Gmail and Google Photos, then ask Gemini questions to get personalized answers. After connecting their services, users could ask something like, “What are my travel plans for Jaipur?” to get information from their emails or photos. The feature can also refer to recent YouTube videos that users have watched to get ideas. The company said that Gemini will identify sources for its answers so you can verify details, if needed. At launch, the Personal Intelligence feature will be limited to AI Pro and AI Ultra users in India. However, Google said that it aims to expand it to free users in the coming weeks. The expansion to India brings Gemini’s capabilities to another sizable market. Google debuted Personal Intelligence inbeta in the U.S. in January, for some of the paid tiers. The company made itavailable to all users in the U.S. in March and has also launched the feature inJapan. Google cautioned that Gemini doesn’t always get the context in your data right and might make connections between completely unrelated topics. “Gemini may also struggle with timing or nuance, particularly regarding relationship changes, like divorces, or your various interests. For instance, seeing hundreds of photos of you at a golf course might lead it to assume you love golf. But it misses the nuance: You don’t love golf, but you love your son, and that’s why you’re there. If Gemini gets this wrong, you can just tell it (“I don’t like golf”),” the company explained in the blog post. The company is seeding advanced AI features to users in India, one of its biggest markets, at a quick pace. In March, the company launchedGemini in Chrome for users in the country. Last week, it also enabled an agentic flow of booking restaurants through AI mode in India by partnering with platforms likeZomato, Swiggy, and EazyDiner.

Fika Jobs raises $4M to build a video-first hiring platform where AI agents interview candidates

Fika Jobs raises $4M to build a video-first hiring platform where AI agents interview candidates

The hiring process has long been criticized for its inefficiency and opacity. Candidates spend hours writing applications and submitting cover letters, only to disappear into what often feels like a black box. Generative AI has only made things messier, with employers increasingly relying on AI-powered screening systems to sift through an overwhelming number of submissions. Stockholm-based startupFika Jobsthinks there’s a better way. The company is building a video-first hiring platform that combines AI interview agents with short-form video profiles, creating something that feels like a cross between LinkedIn and TikTok. Instead of relying solely on resumes, candidates complete AI-powered interviews designed to showcase their personality and communication skills. Fika Jobs announced on Tuesday a $4 million pre-seed round, which will be used to continue developing the platform, grow the team, and prepare for a wider launch later this year. For job seekers, the process starts by connecting a LinkedIn profile. Fika’s AI reviews the candidate’s background and generates personalized interview questions. Candidates then complete a roughly 10-minute video interview with the AI agent, currently powered by Google’s Gemini models. After the interview, Fika automatically turns responses into short video clips and organizes them into a profile. Instead of applying to every new role, candidates maintain a live profile that employers can discover and revisit as new opportunities arise. The idea came from co-founders and brothers Jakob Dubois (CEO) and Alexander Dubois (CTO) while they were building their previous startup. “When we were building [social app] Gaff, we spent a lot of time recruiting and almost passed on a candidate because his resume did not really stand out,” Jakob Dubois told TechCrunch. “We ended up speaking with him anyway, and within minutes, his grit, drive, and ambition became obvious. Exactly the kind of person we wanted to hire.” That experience convinced the founders that some traits that employers care about most are difficult to capture on paper. Unlike most competitors (Alex,Maki, andMercor, among others) that focus on helping employers source, screen, and match candidates more efficiently with AI, Fika is building a platform where candidates maintain video-first profiles and employers browse a pool of people who have already been interviewed and evaluated by AI. If successful, Fika Jobs could help employers assess communication skills and cultural fit early in the hiring process, complementing traditional resume and application reviews. This approach may be especially valuable for early-career professionals and candidates from non-traditional backgrounds, whose potential is not always apparent from a resume alone. Of course, video profiles introduce real bias risks that are also worth acknowledging. When employers can see a candidate’s race, age, gender, physical appearance, and accent before evaluating their qualifications, it opens the door to discrimination that a resume, for all its flaws, at least partially obscures. There’s a reason some companies have moved toward blind resume screening. The platform plans to open early access to candidates this week, with a broader public launch expected this fall. The company will initially focus on Sweden before expanding internationally. Fika currently has a small team but expects to reach around 10 employees by the end of the year. More than 100 companies are on the waitlist, say the founders, though they declined to disclose which ones. Separately, they said more than 50 companies have tested the platform, including Plenty Labs, SICS.ai, Kognity, and Rebtel. The platform is free for job seekers. Employers pay nothing up front, but Fika takes 10% of a candidate’s first-year salary upon a successful hire. (The company notes that this is lower than the 20% to 30% placement fees often charged by traditional recruiters and headhunters.) The round was led by Luminar Ventures, with participation from Alliance VC and King co-founders Sebastian Knutsson and Riccardo Zacconi, the duo best known for creating the hit mobile game Candy Crush.
