Connect your Google apps to personalize your Gemini experience

You can get personalized Gemini experiences that are uniquely helpful to you using Personal Intelligence. When you connect Google apps that work with Personal Intelligence, Gemini can:

• Personalize your experience with insights about you, your relationships, and people in your world.
• Do things for you, like make recommendations based on your preferences, or create a tailored itinerary.
• Find and summarize information from these apps. For example, you can ask “What did I search for last month?”
• Get content from Gmail and Google Photos, like photos from your last vacation.

You can control which apps are connected at any time from your Connected Apps settings.

To get Gemini with Personal Intelligence, you need to:

• Be 18 or over.
• Sign in with a personal Google Account. This feature isn’t available when you sign in to a work, school, or supervised Google Account. Learn how to sign in to Gemini Apps.
• Have Keep Activity on. This feature isn’t available when this setting is off.

Important: For now, this feature is:

• Not available in the European Economic Area, Nigeria, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom.
• Only available in the Gemini mobile app, the Gemini web app at gemini.google.com, Gemini in Chrome (in countries where Gemini in Chrome is available), and Gemini on your smartwatch.
• Not available in certain features, like Gems or Live chats.

1. On your phone or tablet, open the Gemini mobile app 👁 Image
   or go to gemini.google.com.
2. If you’re eligible, a card will show where you can opt in to Personal Intelligence in Gemini.
3. Tap Get started.
4. Choose which apps to connect to Gemini.
   • To connect all available apps, tap Connect all.
   • To choose which apps to connect, tap Choose apps.
   • Or tap Don’t connect.
5. Follow any on-screen instructions.

If you don’t want a specific Gemini chat to be personalized using Personal Intelligence, you can turn it off. When it’s off, your chat won’t be personalized based on the memory of your Gemini chats, instructions for Gemini, or info from Connected Apps.

1. In the text box, tap Tools 👁 Image
   .
2. Turn Personal Intelligence off.
   • If you turn off Personal Intelligence during your chat, Gemini can still use earlier parts of that chat as context.
   • Gemini remembers your setting choice for this chat. It’ll be the same if you leave the chat and continue it later.
   • If you start a new chat, Personal Intelligence is on by default.

Tips:

• To regenerate a personalized response without personalization, you can also select Try without personalization.
• If you turn off Personal Intelligence, it doesn’t stop your chat from being saved to Gemini Apps Activity and used to personalize a response in another chat. To chat without saving activity to your Google Account, use a temporary chat. Learn how to start a temporary chat.

Important:

• Only certain Google apps work with Personal Intelligence in Gemini.
• Learn more about what happens when you disconnect an app in Gemini.

You can change the apps that personalize your Gemini Apps experiences in your Connected Apps settings at any time.

If you want to delete something that Gemini remembered about you:

1. Delete all chats with this info from Gemini Apps Activity or Recent chats. Learn how to manage your Gemini Apps Activity and delete a chat from Recent chats.
2. Disconnect the app with this info, so Gemini doesn’t use it again. Learn how to manage your Connected Apps.

You must complete both steps because:

• If you only disconnect the app, Gemini might still use the info if it’s in a past chat.
• If you only delete the chats, Gemini might still find the info in the connected app.

If you delete or update data in a connected app, like an email from Gmail or photo from Google Photos, your experience in Gemini may not be affected until days later.

Before, Gemini was great at finding info from your apps. With Personal Intelligence:

• Gemini has access to your data from more Connected Apps like Contacts, Google Workspace, Google Photos (if available), Search services, and YouTube.
• Gemini can connect and understand your info across Connected Apps.

This allows Gemini to:

• Handle complex, multi-step requests across those apps.
• Understand the context and how your info across those apps are related.
• Provide more personalized responses based on your info from Connected Apps.

Important: Personal Intelligence is being released gradually and may not be available to you just yet.
