Google has launched an experimental version of its Gemini chatbot with a personalized search feature that can connect with other Google apps and services to provide insightful responses. The new feature, accessible through the model drop-down menu, analyzes user search history to enhance responses.
Gemini users have given permission for their search history to be referenced, which can be disconnected at any time. The personalization feature is now available in over 40 languages across most countries where Google operates.
The chatbot is powered by Google’s Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental model, which has been updated with a longer context window to process larger amounts of information and new features like file uploading. Regular Gemini users can access the Deep Research feature for free, allowing them to compile multi-page research reports in minutes after browsing hundreds of webpages.
The company is also introducing the Gems feature, which enables all users to build their own personal AI expert on topics such as languages and math at no cost.
