What: Starting today, you can ask Gemini to remember your interests and preferences, whether it’s about your work, your hobbies, or your general aspirations in life. This helps Gemini provide even more helpful and relevant responses, tailored precisely to your needs. Think of it as giving Gemini a user manual, designed by you. You can share info and manage info saved with Gemini either through natural conversation or on the dedicated "Saved Info" page. You’re in control: easily view, edit, or delete any information you’ve shared with Gemini, and Gemini will display when it makes use of your saved info. Define how you want Gemini to interact with you, and it will adapt accordingly, giving you full authority over the information it saves and uses. The experience is available in English with Gemini Advanced as part of the Google One AI Premium Plan. Why: Saving info about your life and work empowers you to shape Gemini and unlock new levels of efficiency and creativity. Get more consistent, predictible results without repeating the same details, maintain control over your data, and experience Gemini that seemingly integrates into your workflow. Whether you’re a writer, developer, student, or someone who simply wants more control, now you can make Gemini truly your own.
