    Today, we’re introducing Personal Intelligence. With your permission, Gemini can now securely connect information from Google apps like @Gmail, @GooglePhotos, Search and @YouTube history with a single tap to make Gemini uniquely helpful & personalized to *you* ✨ This feature is launching in beta today in the @GeminiApp. See Personal Intelligence in action 🧵 ↓

    1/ Reasoning across sources: Ever need to buy parts for your car but don't have the info handy? Ask Gemini to “Recommend tires for my car.” By referencing connected apps like @Gmail and Photos, it can understand your car’s make and model, and even the types of trips you take, to give recommendations of tires and info like your license plate number to make your visit to the auto shop go more smoothly.

    2/ Personalized planning: Move past the generic "Top 10" travel lists. Ask Gemini to “Recommend some hidden gems or activities I might enjoy in Chicago." By connecting the dots between your travel dates in @Gmail and your love for nature photography in @GooglePhotos, Gemini can find spots tailored just for you — like the Garfield Park Conservatory.

    3/ Tailored recommendations: Looking for something new to read? Ask Gemini to “Suggest a few books I might enjoy based on my interests.” Because Gemini is able to reason across sources, it can easily recommend books that match your current interests.

    Since connecting apps in Personal Intelligence is beta, you might see inaccurate responses or "over-personalization" where the model makes connections between unrelated topics. If something feels off: 💬 If Gemini gets it wrong, just tell it. “I actually don’t like golf; I just take my son there.” 👎 Provide feedback by giving it a thumbs down to help us improve.
