TL;DR
- Google is extending Personal Intelligence from Gemini to AI Mode in Search.
- AI Mode in Search now blends public web results with your private context from Gmail and Photos to deliver answers tailored to you.
- Personal Intelligence is fully opt-in, with clear controls to connect or disconnect Gmail and Photos at any time.
Last week, we saw Google finally tackle the context packing problem by bringing Personal Intelligence to the Gemini app, allowing the AI to actually remember details about your life instead of just fetching single files. Now, Google is bringing that same memory upgrade to the search bar.
Starting today, Google is expanding Personal Intelligence to AI Mode in Search. Search used to focus on indexing the world’s information, but now it can understand your own information. It combines public web results with your private data to give you answers that fit you.
