Gemini Introduces "Personal Intelligence": A New Era of Highly Personalized AI Assistance
Google has officially launched the beta of "Personal Intelligence" for Gemini, marking a pivotal shift from a general-purpose AI to a deeply contextual personal agent. This feature allows Gemini to securely connect with and synthesize data across Gmail, Google Photos, YouTube, and Google Search. By leveraging cross-app reasoning, Gemini can now provide tailor-made recommendations, complex travel planning, and proactive task management based on a user's unique life context. Users maintain full transparency and privacy control, with the ability to toggle app connections and the assurance that personal data is not used for model training. The feature is currently rolling out to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the United States.

Apple picks Google's Gemini to power Siri's next generation
The only people more sympathetic than Apple’s struggling AI division are Apple’s users who have not had the promised updates to Siri. After over a year of talking about their own inhouse trained models, Apple announced that they are picking Google’s Gemini to power Siri, with a security layer still provided by Apple Private Cloud Compute. A nice win for Google and a comparative loss for OpenAI, which Apple initially partnered with for their AI launch but is increasingly having rumors of their consumer hardware device shipping this year, which may have factored into the decision.
