In summary:
- According to Tech Advisor, Google Gemini has introduced a new feature called ‘Personal Intelligence’ for AI Pro and Ultra subscribers, enabling personalized image generation.
- This feature uses data from Google Photos, Gmail, YouTube history, and search activity to produce imagery tailored to individual preferences and lifestyles.
- Google stresses that this feature is optional, and users’ private photos are not utilized for direct model training.
Google has now made it possible for Gemini to leverage personal data from your Google account to swiftly create personalized images using the Nano Banana 2 image model.
The feature, named “Personal Intelligence,” can extract context from platforms like Google Photos, Gmail, YouTube, and search records. Google illustrates that prompts such as “Design my dream house” or “Create a picture of my desert island essentials” will now generate unique images that align with personal tastes and lifestyles.
The system also utilizes tags in Google Photos to identify individuals or pets, ensuring that terms like “dad” or “mum” refer to the correct person without requiring photo uploads for each prompt.
Users can also evaluate results, choose reference images by pressing the + icon, and verify which image sources the model utilized.
Google also addresses privacy concerns, stating: “The Gemini app does not directly train its models on your private Google Photos library. We train on limited info, like specific prompts in Gemini and the model’s responses.”
It is emphasized that integrating your Google apps with Gemini is an “opt-in experience,” and users can modify this setting at any time.
The Personal Intelligence feature is available to AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers using the Gemini app. The AI Pro subscription is priced at £18.99 per month in the UK and $19.99 in the US, while the AI Ultra subscription, intended for professional use, costs £234.99 per month in the UK and $249.99 in the US. A half-price deal is currently available.
