Gemini AI Gets Smarter: What You Need to Know
Thu Aug 14 2025
Google's AI chatbot, Gemini, is getting a major upgrade. It will now remember more about your chats to give you better answers. This is part of Google's plan to make Gemini more personal and helpful. But, there's a catch. If you don't want Gemini to remember your chats, you can turn off this feature.
This new feature is called "Personal Context. " When you turn it on, Gemini will keep details from your past chats. This means it can give you more relevant answers, especially when you ask for recommendations. For example, if you ask Gemini for a book recommendation, it might remember that you liked sci-fi books in the past and suggest something similar.
But, there are some limits. This feature is not available in the European Union, the UK, or Switzerland. Also, you have to be over 18 to use it. Google plans to make it available in more places and for the faster Gemini 2. 5 Flash model in the future.
There's also a new temporary chat option. This lets you chat with Gemini without it remembering anything. This is great if you want to keep your chats private.
Some people might worry about Gemini getting too friendly. AI chatbots that remember too much about you can sometimes give answers that aren't accurate. This is something to keep in mind when using Gemini.
In the end, it's up to you. You can turn Personal Context on or off whenever you want. This gives you control over how much Gemini remembers about your chats.
