The feature, which was previously available only to select paid subscribers, combines the company\u2019s Personal Intelligence system with Google Photos and its Nano Banana image model to generate images tailored to individual users.<\/p>\n<p>The rollout allows Gemini to use information from connected <a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/about\/google\/\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google<\/a> services, including Gmail, Google Photos, YouTube and Search, to better understand a user\u2019s preferences and provide more contextual image generation. Google said the feature is available only after users explicitly grant permission to connect these services.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyloading\" data-lazy-type=\"lazyloading-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/track_1x1.jpg\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/track_1x1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1px\" height=\"1px\" style=\"display:none;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>As a result, users can issue shorter prompts, such as \u2018design my dream house \u2019, without having to describe their preferences in detail. Gemini can also access photos stored in Google Photos to generate illustrations featuring the user without requiring manual image uploads.<\/p>\n<p>According to Google, the feature is designed to reduce the amount of context users need to provide while creating AI-generated images. For example, a prompt such as \u2018create an illustration of me and my favourite things\u2019 can incorporate information from a user\u2019s photo library and other connected Google services.<\/p>\n<p>Google emphasised that Personal Intelligence remains an opt-in experience. Users can choose whether to connect supported Google apps to Gemini and can revoke those permissions or modify settings at any time.<\/p>\n<p>The company also outlined eligibility requirements for the free rollout. Users must be at least 18 years old, signed into a personal Google account, and located in a supported country or region.<\/p>\n<p>While the personalised image generation feature is now free, Google said usage limits continue to apply. The free tier includes access to the Nano Banana model with lower download limits, while higher-resolution outputs and increased usage remain part of the company\u2019s paid Google <a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/section\/technology\/artificial-intelligence\/\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AI<\/a> subscription plans.<\/p>\n<p>Story continues below this ad<\/p>\n<p>The announcement is part of Google\u2019s broader effort to integrate Gemini more deeply across its ecosystem by allowing the AI assistant to use information from multiple Google services with user consent to deliver more personalised responses and creative tools.<\/p>\n<p>Google has not announced when the personalised image generation feature will roll out to users in India, and no timeline has been shared so far.<\/p>\n<p>(This article has been curated by Shivani P Menon, who is an intern with The Indian Express)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"3 min readNew DelhiJun 30, 2026 04:47 PM IST Google has expanded its personalised AI image generation capabilities&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":90598,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[24,9838,9078,47823,17777,17873,223,12422,132,1429,40127,1430,8583,47672,1507,14915,8330,47821,47822,1928],"class_list":["post-90597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-google","tag-ai","tag-ai-features","tag-ai-image-generation","tag-free-ai-tools","tag-gemini-app","tag-gemini-update","tag-generative-ai","tag-gmail","tag-google","tag-google-ai","tag-google-ecosystem","tag-google-gemini","tag-google-photos","tag-google-photos-integration","tag-google-search","tag-nano-banana","tag-personal-intelligence","tag-personalised-image-creation","tag-us-rollout","tag-youtube"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=90597"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90597\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/90598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=90597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=90597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=90597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
