Recently, CEO Sundar Pichai announced the official launch of the "Personal Intelligence" feature in the Gemini app, which securely integrates core services like Gmail, Google Docs, and calendars to enable deep reasoning and highly customized responses across applications.
This means that Gemini no longer relies solely on publicly available information for answers, but can instead provide accurate suggestions based on your personal context. For example, when you ask "What tires should I change?", it will automatically check your vehicle maintenance records or purchase emails in Gmail, identify the model and age of the car, and then recommend the appropriate type based on road conditions and budget. If you ask "A suitable spring break destination for the whole family," it can access free time slots in family members' calendars, past travel preference documents, and even ticket price trends to create a personalized travel plan.
Crucially, Google emphasizes that privacy and control remain entirely in the user's hands:
- Gemini will only access authorized data when the user explicitly asks a question;
- The system will not "spy" on any information without being requested;
- Users can view, manage, or revoke data access permissions for each application at any time.
Currently, this feature is available first to Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers, and will gradually be rolled out to more users. It is also expected to be integrated into Google Search's AI mode, making "personalized intelligence" the default experience.
This upgrade marks a shift for AI assistants from "knowing a lot" to "understanding your needs." When large models truly integrate into personal digital life, the efficiency revolution will truly begin - and Google is trying to define the standard for the next generation of human-computer interaction with "bounded and trustworthy" personal intelligence.
