Google brings Gemini Personal Intelligence feature to India

Google announced on Tuesday that it is bringing its Gemini Personal Intelligence feature to users in India. The feature, which allows users to connect their Google accounts to the AI model to ask personalized questions, is currently limited to AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers at launch. However, Google plans to expand the feature to free users in the coming weeks. This rollout follows the feature’s debut in beta in the U.S. in January, before Google made it available to all U.S. users in March and launched it in Japan.

Once connected, the Personal Intelligence feature—defined as the feature allowing account connection—enables Gemini to answer questions based on personal data. For example, users could ask about travel plans for Jaipur to retrieve information from their emails or photos. The feature can also refer to recently watched YouTube videos to generate ideas, and Google stated that Gemini will identify the sources for its answers so users can verify the details.

However, Google cautioned that the model does not always get the context of user data right and may struggle with context, timing, or nuance regarding personal data. According to the company, “Gemini may also struggle with timing or nuance, particularly regarding relationship changes, like divorces, or your various interests.” For example, Google noted that seeing hundreds of photos of a user at a golf course might lead the model to assume they love golf, missing the nuance that they are actually there to support their son. If Gemini makes such an assumption, users can correct it directly.

The launch represents a continuing effort by Google to deploy AI capabilities in India. In March, the company launched Gemini in Chrome for users in the country. Last week, Google also enabled an agentic flow—defined as the AI capability to perform actions like booking—for restaurant reservations in India. This feature operates through partnerships with local platforms including Zomato, Swiggy, and EazyDiner.

Why it matters

The expansion to India brings Gemini’s capabilities to another sizable market, continuing Google’s rapid rollout of advanced AI features in the region.
