Once enabled, &#8220;Personal Intelligence&#8221; can pull context from across your Google ecosystem, including Gmail, Google Photos, Search and YouTube History, to gain specific insight that will shape its answers and recommendations. Personal Intelligence is available starting today in the US for Google AI Pro and <a data-i13n=\"cpos:2;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/ai\/google-wants-250-per-month-in-return-for-its-new-ai-ultra-plan-180248513.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Ultra;cpos:2;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ultra<\/a> subscribers.

The company says this new feature might still make some mistakes, such as \u201cover-personalization\u201d where it draws connections between unrelated things.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">According to Google, Gemini will not train directly on the data it pulls for personalization like your photos and emails, but will instead train on your prompts and its responses. Users can also prompt Gemini to &#8220;try again&#8221; without personalization and will have the option to delete chat histories.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">For now, Personal Intelligence works in the Gemini app across web, Android and iOS for personal Google accounts.
