Gemini Personal Intelligence expands

Google is expanding Gemini’s Personal Intelligence feature to India and starting a broader rollout worldwide, but not in Europe. (techcrunch.com) The feature lets users connect Google services including Gmail and Google Photos so Gemini can answer with details pulled from their own accounts. Google first introduced it as a beta in the United States in January 2026 for some paid plans. (blog.google) Google made Personal Intelligence available to all users in the United States in March 2026, and TechCrunch reported this week that Japan had already been added before India. 9to5Google reported on April 14 that the latest rollout covers Gemini users globally outside Europe. (techcrunch.com) (9to5google.com) Personal Intelligence is Google’s attempt to make Gemini act less like a general chatbot and more like an assistant that knows a user’s travel bookings, photos, searches, and video history. Dataconomy reported that the system now works across all supported Gemini languages. (dataconomy.com) The Europe exclusion shows where Google is drawing a line on products that use deeply personal account data. Google has not included European countries in this phase of the rollout, even as it expands elsewhere. (9to5google.com) Google has framed the feature as optional and privacy-controlled. In its January launch post, the company said users choose which apps to connect and said Gemini does not train directly on that personal data. (blog.google) Google has also warned that the system can still get personal context wrong. TechCrunch reported that the company said Gemini may sometimes connect unrelated topics when it tries to infer meaning from a user’s data. (techcrunch.com) In India, local reports said the feature is starting with Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra users, with free-tier access planned in the coming weeks. Business Today said it will work on the web, Android, and iOS. (businesstoday.in) The rollout turns Gemini into a larger test of how much personal data users will hand over in exchange for better answers. For now, Google is widening that experiment market by market, with Europe still on the sidelines. (techcrunch.com) (9to5google.com)
