Google launches Gemini's Personal Intelligence feature in India

Google announced on Tuesday the launch of its Gemini Personal Intelligence feature for users in India. This feature allows users to link their Google accounts, such as Gmail and Google Photos, and ask Gemini questions to receive personalized answers. After connecting their services, users can inquire about their travel plans, for instance, asking, "What are my travel plans for Jaipur?" to obtain information from their emails or photos.

The feature can also refer to recent YouTube videos that users have watched to provide ideas. The company stated that Gemini will identify sources for its answers so users can verify details if necessary. At launch, the Personal Intelligence feature will be available only to AI Pro and AI Ultra users in India, but Google aims to expand access to free users in the coming weeks.

The expansion of Gemini's capabilities to India opens up new opportunities in one of its largest markets. The Personal Intelligence feature was first introduced in beta in the U.S. in January for some paid tiers, and it became available to all users in the U.S. in March, as well as being launched in Japan.

The company warned that Gemini does not always accurately understand the context of data and may make connections between completely unrelated topics. For example, if the system sees numerous photos of a user at a golf course, it might assume that they love golf. However, this may not be the case; the user might not love golf but enjoys spending time with their son, which is why they are there.

If Gemini gets this wrong, users can simply inform it, saying something like, "I don’t like golf." The company is rapidly rolling out advanced AI features for users in India, one of its biggest markets. In March, it launched Gemini in Chrome for users in the country, and last week it enabled restaurant booking through AI in India by partnering with platforms like Zomato, Swiggy, and EazyDiner.
