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.
