Gemini 'Personal snapshot' will make it a breeze to review what it knows about you

When it comes to AI, what you get out of it is hugely dependent on what you put in. Start with a vague prompt, and you’re likely to get an unsatisfying answer, while approach the model with a very detailed, specific request, and the odds are much higher that you’re going to like what it comes up with. When it comes to long-term usage, teaching these models about who we are and what we want can be a big part of that, and Gemini supports just that with Personal Intelligence. Today we’re checking out a new way it could more easily get to know you.

Looking at the changes present in version 17.36.12.sa.arm64 of the Google app for Android, we’ve spotted work to add a new “Personal snapshot” entry to your Personal Intelligence settings for Gemini:

Right now, tapping this sends you back to Gemini with a “What do you know about me?” prompt presented to the agent. It will then respond with the personal details it already has on file, including biographical information and personal preferences. If it’s missing any important details, or has gotten any of them wrong, you can go ahead and correct its understanding of you.

Admittedly, it might be nice to have access to this data in a more directly addressable format — like filling out a dating profile — but we have to concede that just leaning right on Gemini makes a fair amount of sense here.

Personal Intelligence initially debuted as a paid feature for Google AI Pro and Ultra plans, but back in March Google started expanding access to even free Gemini users. This week, Google expands that even further with free Personal Intelligence for Nano Banana image generation.
