Gemini incorporates two of the best chatgpt features

To retain

• Gemini can now memorize the context of a conversation for personalized responses
• Users can use temporary cats for more confidentiality
• Google has also added new data control settings that you should consult now

You can now consult your past conversations with the Gemini chatbot for more personalized answers. Google has also added temporary conversation feature and new data control parameters. Anyone, including free users, can take advantage of these options.

More personalized answers

The usefulness of AI depends on the information it provides. Consequently, requests for requests is essential to the success of a chatbot. However, this process can often take time, especially if you work on a long -term project; Rexplicating your context each time can be tedious.

From now on, Gemini can consult your past conversations to learn more about you over time and produce more personalized answers.

For example, if I reveal having a 7 -kilo yorkshire in a conversation and I ask which games I should play with him in another, his race and his weight will be taken into account without me having to repeat myself. It works in the same way as Chatgpt memory functionality, launched in April. Ditto for Claude d’Anthropic who also inherited it this week.

For Gemini, this feature will be deployed in the coming weeks. Google specifies that the experience is first limited to the 2.5 pro model in certain countries, and that it will be extended to the 2.5 flash version in the coming weeks.

It is important to note that the option is activated by default, but if you do not want Gemini to memorize or reference your past conversations, you can deactivate it in the settings. To do this, in the Gemini application, access to Parameters, Personal context et Your conversations spent with Geminiwhere you can activate and deactivate the parameter, as indicated in the image below.

Temporary discussion

Temporary discussion is one of my favorite features in Chatgpt, and is finally available in Gemini. The functionality is simple: if you want to have a conversation with Gemini without reminding it later or recording it in your history, you just have to click on the icon Temporary discussion next to New discussion.

The principle is the same as to activate private navigation mode in Google Chrome or Safari.

When the temporary cat is activated, your conversation will not appear in your recent conversations or in the activity of Gemini applications, which means that it will not be used to cause Google AI models.

This feature is also deployed today and will be available for all users in the coming weeks.

New data control parameters

In the coming weeks, Google will rename Gemini applications activity in Keep the activity. From September 2, when this parameter is activated, a sample of your downloads will be used for ” contribute to improving Google services for all ». If you do not want your data to be used in this way, you can deactivate this parameter or use the temporary cats option. To find out how to deactivate this parameter, see the Google step by step guide.

If you have already disabled the Gemini Applications Activity Option, it will remain deactivated even after the passage to keep the activity. Therefore, if confidentiality is important for you, I recommend that you change it now.
