Title: Google's Gemini AI Will Get More Personalized By Remembering Details
Automatically

Link: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/08/13/2143...

An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Verge: Google is rolling out an
update for Gemini that will allow the AI chatbot to "remember" your past
conversations without prompting. With the setting turned on, Gemini will
automatically recall your "key details and preferences" and use them to
personalize its output. This expands upon an update that Google introduced
last year, which lets you ask Gemini to "remember" your personal preferences
and interests. Now, Gemini won't need prompting to recall this information.
As an example, Google says if you've used Gemini to get ideas for a YouTube
channel surrounding Japanese culture in the past, then AI chatbot might
suggest creating content about trying Japanese food if you ask it to suggest
new video ideas in the future. [...] Google will turn on this feature by
default, but you can disable it by heading to your settings in the Gemini app
and selecting Personal Context. From there, toggle off the Your past chats
with Gemini option. Google will roll out this feature to its Gemini 2.5 Pro
model in "select countries" starting today, before eventually bringing it to
more locations and its Gemini 2.5 Flash model. Google will also rename its
"Gemini Apps Activity" setting to "Keep Activity," which will use "a sample"
of your file and photo uploads to Gemini to "help improve Google services for
everyone" starting on September 2nd. If you've disabled the previous setting,
the new "Keep Activity" setting will be disabled too. There's also a new
"temporary chats" feature in Gemini to preserve privacy. "Temporary chats
won't appear in your recent chats or your Keep Activity setting," notes The
Verge. "Gemini also won't use these chats to personalize future
conversations, nor will Google use them to train its AI models. Google will
only save these conversations for 72 hours."
