In a significant update for its users, Google has officially unveiled its new Gemini model, which brings an exciting personalization feature to enhance search experiences. This addition aims to make interactions more relevant and tailored to the individual user, drawing from their search history for improved insights.
The model, named Gemini with Personalization, is now accessible as an "experimental" feature for Gemini and Gemini Advanced subscribers on the web. A gradual rollout on mobile devices is set to follow soon. Google has made it clear that this feature will be available in "over 45 languages" across "the majority of countries worldwide," though it will not be accessible in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the UK.
By selecting this model, users will find that Gemini connects seamlessly with their Google apps and services, starting with Search. This integration allows for responses that are more insightful and tailored to the user's preferences and needs. For the time being, the personalization will rely solely on users' search histories, but future updates are expected to include connections to other Google services like Photos and YouTube.
To utilize this innovative feature, users can submit their queries as they normally would. Gemini will analyze the prompt and determine the relevance of the search history to enhance the response. Google reassures users that they maintain control over their information, with the option to disconnect their search history from Gemini at any time.
It's important to note that not every query will use the search history; this assistance is contingent upon Google’s "advanced reasoning models" deeming it beneficial.
