Google continues to improve its artificial intelligence Gemini, so that it is one of the best alternatives to chatgpt. Recently, for example, we have mentioned an update from Gemini Live which allows you to use this assistant to manage certain Google apps, such as the agenda. And, Wednesday, the firm also announced a new feature that will allow Gemini users to personalize the responses of his artificial intelligence.
“During the I/O conference, we presented our vision of the Gemini application: Create an AI assistant who learns and really understands you – and not an assistant who is content to respond to your request in the same way that he would respond to the request of anyone else”explains the firm. And, to make Gemini more personalized, Google has just endowed its artificial intelligence with a memory.
How does it work? Gemini will be able to memorize certain important information, coming from your previous interactions with AI, in order to personalize his future answers according to your preferences. Concretely, if you have already discussed a book with Gemini, AI can memorize this. And if, later, you ask Gemini to offer you new books, he can base his recommendations on the book from which you have previously discussed with AI.
We’re introducing a new setting that allows Gemini to learn from your past conversations over time.
When this setting is on, Gemini remembers key details and preferences you’ve shared, leading to more natural and relevant conversations, as if you’re collaborating with a partner… pic.twitter.com/4sgCpYQYOD

Optional feature
The good news is that we will not have to use Gemini’s new memory. Google indicates that the functionality will be activated by default, but that it will be possible to deactivate it in the AI settings. And it will always be possible to remove the previous conversations that have been stored by Gemini.
In addition, the functionality will be deployed gradually. Google indicates that this new personalization will first apply to discussions with the Gemini 2.5 Pro model, in some countries. However, it will later be available on discussions with Gemini 2.5 Flash, and will be deployed in more countries. Note that, for the moment, the personalization of Gemini is not available in the European Economic Area.
Gemini also has an equivalent of private navigation
In addition to personalization, Gemini also has an equivalent of private navigation on a browser. Called “temporary cat”, this feature can be used when you do not want the discussion to be used to customize Gemini, or when you have a fairly sensitive conversation with AI.

“Temporary discussions do not appear in your recent discussions or in the activity of Gemini Apps. They are not used either to personalize your Gemini experience or to train Google artificial intelligence models. They are kept for a maximum of 72 hours in order to respond to you and treat the comments you choose to provide”explains the Mountain View firm.
