Like before, it\u2019s predominantly blue with the red, yellow, and green focused at the bottom. After a moment, these colors fade to blue before disappearing entirely.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This effect is reminiscent of Gemini screen automation, as well as Circle to Search for more visual parity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p>Following the announcement <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2026\/03\/17\/gemini-personal-intelligence-free\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">earlier this month<\/a>, free Personal Intelligence is now widely rolling out to free personal users of the Gemini app in the US. This capability taps into text, photos, and videos from your Gmail, Calendar, Drive, and other Workspace apps, Google Photos, YouTube, Search, Maps, and more first-party apps to personalize responses without further prompting\u00a0from you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You can turn off Personal Intelligence for a prompt by opening the Tools menu and unchecking the new toggle at the bottom. When introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2026\/01\/14\/gemini-personal-intelligence\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in January<\/a>, Personal Intelligence required a paid Google AI Plan. Over the past day, we\u2019ve seen it roll out to all our free Google Accounts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re prompted to opt-in and can choose which apps Gemini has access to. You can enable\/disable services from the \u201cPersonal Intelligence\u201d page in your account menu.<\/p>\n<p>In a related development, Google looks to have widely rolled out \u201cMemory.\u201d This was previously known as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2026\/02\/26\/gemini-past-chats-free\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Past Gemini chats<\/a>\u201d and allows the app to look at past conversations to personalize responses instead of having to explicitly remind Gemini.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/9to5google.com\" aria-label=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1764374954_669_google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1764374954_276_google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4lyPoXe\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-708704\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1774649112_498_750x150-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"140\"\/><\/a>\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following Lyria 3 Pro, Gemini 3.1 Flash Live, and importing, Google has a few other Gemini app updates,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":525968,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[49,48,61],"class_list":{"0":"post-565230","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565230","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=565230"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565230\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/525968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=565230"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=565230"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=565230"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
