- Google Gemini can now remember previous conversations
- The memory functionality is now rolling out to Google One Ai Premium -Subscribers
- Chatgpt has had similar functionality for a year and it is one of the best features of any AI -Chatbot
Google has just added an upgraded memory feature to Gemini that allows you to ask the AI ββ-Chatbot questions based on previous conversations.
The new “recall” feature rolls out to all users who subscribe to Google One AI Premium, a paid monthly subscription that provides access to Gemini’s best features. With recall, you can ask Gemini about previous conversations and pick up from where you left off so AI can feel more vivid and aware of your story. In the past, Gemini had no memory of previous chats, so you should remind it of important details.
This huge upgrade to Google Gemini brings AI-Chatbot up-to-speed with competitor Chatgpt, which has had a well-functioning memory feature for over a year now. The difference is that Chatgpt’s offer is available for free and does not require a monthly subscription to access its functionality. That said, Google could test the recall feature before rolling it out to free Gemini users, even though we have currently not had any information that it is happening.
This new update comes at the back of Gemini’s November update that added the opportunity for the chatbot to remember certain things about you based on your interests and personal preferences. Unlike this new update, you will need to go to Gemini’s “Saved Info” tab and information about the Publishing for AI to refer to conversations.
When Chatgpt introduced memory last year, it completely changed the way I interacted with AI so I could speak naturally with chatbot and spot shades where it was able to refer to the past in very useful ways. Until now, I have been exposed to using Gemini because of its lack of memory, but that has all changed. Gemini’s recall feature is rolled out in English to Gemini One AI Premium users now (though I don’t have access yet) and Google says the update will be available to other languages ββin the coming weeks.
The context we needed
Gemini’s ability to remember previous conversations gives Google’s AI -Chatbot a whole new utility of the utility. In the past, I have been frustrated with Gemini’s lack of context to my prompts when I have asked similar questions in old chats. This was never a problem if you used a single chat with Gemini, but given the range of models from Gemini 2.0 Flash to Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental, I can quickly rack several discussions at once.
Now Gemini will be able to take information from all my chats and have the personal context to refer to them in every way I need. Things like “Remember the time I talked to you about train travel? What was the route you asked me to take?” Can now be used in Gemini and it’s a big step in making AI more conversation and more accessible.
When we talk about accessibility, Google is hopefully planning to roll out this memory feature to free users as I really think a memory feature is one of the most important features of any AI -Chatbot. Until then, I would still recommend Chatgpt to my friends and family, after all, Openai’s model has the reminder of an elephant and without paying for it.
