Google is rolling out a new customization feature for its chatbot, Gemini, aimed at providing more relevant responses to user queries. The “Personal Context” option allows Gemini to remember details about past conversations, adapting its replies without explicit prompting.
This feature aims to produce better recommendations and more personalized interactions, but it also raises concerns about the potential for AI chatbots to reinforce misconceptions or lead to delusional thinking. To address this, the feature is initially available only in specific regions with Gemini 2.5 Pro models, limited to users over 18.
Google plans to expand Personal Context to additional regions and more efficient Gemini models in the future. Users can enable or disable this feature from the main settings page at any time.
