Every day, there's a new AI feature or tool launching, and the most popular chatbots, including Google Gemini, are constantly upgrading. It gets a bit dizzying. But Gemini recently rolled out a feature I do consider worth trying. Called Personal Intelligence, it connects data from Gmail, Google Photos, Search history, and other Google apps to provide tailored responses.

So, instead of getting a generic result from Gemini after I enter a prompt, the response is personalized to me. What does that look like in practice? When searching for a product, I shouldn't get the top picks. Results should reflect my past purchases and preferences. If device troubleshooting, I don't need to remember the model, since Gemini should see my email receipt.

Personal Intelligence essentially removes the need to repeatedly provide context, which is one of my biggest gripes with AI.
