3. We’re still learning (and so is Gemini).

We’ve tested this beta extensively, but it might still make mistakes or connect unrelated dots. If Gemini gets it wrong, just tell it.

2. Gemini will try to reference or explain the information it used from your connected sources so you can verify it. If it doesn’t, you can ask it for more information.

1. You decide if and when to connect your apps. This new beta feature is off by default.

You choose which apps to connect, and you can disconnect them anytime.

Today we’re introducing Personal Intelligence in the Gemini app, a new feature that, with your permission, can securely connect info from Google apps like Gmail, Google Photos, Search & YouTube history to make Gemini uniquely helpful.
