- Gemini can now access your search history for an even better experience
- Google gives you the opportunity to turn off this feature via a light click in settings
- Taking advantage of Google’s search history provides a new level of personal context like never before
Gemini can now access your search history, which may be Chatbot’s biggest advantage that completely revises Google’s AI experience.
The new update, launched today as an experimental feature on the web and gradually rolls out on mobile, gives the new update driven by Geminis Flash 2.0 model a whole new meaning for personal context. Gemini can now easily access your Google Search History and use this information to give even better results than before.
Google showed several examples of the new feature in action, such as a prompt that asked Gemini, “Where should I go on vacation this summer?” As AI used the user’s search history and replied, “Given your recent searches for places like Hawaii and the Maldives, you seem to enjoy tropical destinations. You also looked at family -friendly trips to Chicago, Seattle and Kyoto, which suggests an interest in the city and international travels with your family. Gemini then gave a full breakdown of holiday destinations that may be suitable.
Google is the world’s most commonly used search engine and utilizes its user awareness and knowledge of how people use the Internet is an absolute game election for Gemini. No other AI -Chatbot has access to Google’s comprehensive user data, and if they can incorporate search queries effectively into Gemini to customize the AI experience, this can be an absolute winner.
Google says, “Gemini with personalization will be able to use your Google apps, starting with your search history, to deliver contextually relevant answers that are adapted to your individual interests.”
Now, as one of Techradar’s residents AI experts, this is filling me with joy, the ability to get even better gemini results and get even closer to the AI I have always dreamed of: a true personal assistant in my pocket.
That said, I’m not naive and I know that reading the headline of this article can beat the fear of the average consumer. After all, we don’t want AI to know even more about our lives, right?
Search history to improve gemini but in the end it is your choice
Google knows that the idea of incorporating your search history into AI will offset some alarm bells so that the company has made it very easy to interrupt your story at any time and there is a clear message asking for permission before connecting your information to Chatbot.
Gemini also only gets access to your information when you choose the AI model that includes personalization, giving users an easy way to turn off the search history access when choosing to do so.
I am incredibly excited that search history is incorporated into Gemini and I think it gives Google’s AI a real point of sale over its competitors. I have also been expressed by the fact that the perfect AI personal assistant I ask for need more and more of my data, and although I see fears of giving more of your data to businesses, I have to accept that in order to achieve my dream, I need to be more gentle on what I allow technology to access.
Make no mistake about it. This Gemini update is a massive deal and it could really pave the way to a future where Google’s offer is in its own area, such as the personal context king.
While Apple delays Apple Intelligence-driven Siri, Google bends its muscles as a leader in smartphone AI, and adding search history just lifts Gemini even more.
