Meanwhile, Gemini\u2019s \u201cPersonal Intelligence\u201d feature <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/03\/17\/googles-personal-intelligence-feature-is-expanding-to-all-us-users\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">rolled out across the U.S. in March<\/a> and is <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/gemini.google\/overview\/personal-intelligence\/\" target=\"_blank\">now in beta<\/a> in global markets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This latest upgrade would connect the dots \u2014 as Google put it in its blog post \u2014 across users\u2019 Google apps. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drivers will have to opt in for Personalized Intelligence to work. Once a user does so, they should expect all sorts of cross-pollination. For instance, a driver who is navigating to the airport may be alerted that the flight on their calendar is delayed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google said the feature will allow users to make complex requests using natural language. Returning to that airport example, a user might ask the AI assistant for their flight gate before quickly following up with a question about whether it\u2019s still on time. Gemini will give the user answers to both questions at the same time, the company said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That level of emmeshing might make consumers uncomfortable, although Google says users do retain full control over their data with Personal Intelligence. The feature can be turned on or off at any time, and users can selectively choose which apps they\u2019d like to connect, Google said.<\/p>\n<p>When you purchase through links in our articles, <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/techcrunch-affiliate-monetization-standards\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">we may earn a small commission<\/a>.
