Google Confirms New Upgrade Choice For Millions Of Gmail Users

Personal Intelligence in Gemini beta links Gmail, Photos, Search, and YouTube to provide contextual AI insights for paid users, with privacy controls and opt-in features.

  • On Wednesday, Google unveiled Personal Intelligence, a Gemini beta reasoning across Gmail, Google Photos, Google Search, and YouTube history, rolling out in the U.S. to Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers on web, Android, and iOS.
  • Google framed Personal Intelligence as a move to make Gemini proactive, leveraging its consumer apps to outpace rivals OpenAI and Anthropic lacking similar platform reach.
  • Powered by Gemini 3, Personal Intelligence is off by default, requires users to opt in per app, and offers controls to disconnect services or delete chats, with Woodward saying it's strong at reasoning and retrieving details.
  • Google emphasized privacy and control, saying Personal Intelligence avoids proactive assumptions on sensitive topics and uses limited prompts and responses for model improvement with some human reviewers involved.
  • Google said it will extend Personal Intelligence to the free Gemini app and AI Mode in Search soon, expanding to more countries as part of a focus on context, distribution and trust.
