Google rolls out Gemini Memory summary, letting users see what the AI chatbot remembers about them
Ever wondered what your AI assistant remembers about you? Google is giving Gemini users a way to find out.
The tech giant is rolling out a new Memory summary feature for Gemini that allows users to view, edit, and delete the personal information the AI assistant has picked up about them.
According to Google's support page, the feature is designed to help keep Gemini's responses accurate and relevant by giving users more control over the information it remembers.
What can users do with Memory summary?
The new feature organizes information Gemini remembers into categories, including a user's background, career and professional projects, travel and everyday gear, media and entertainment, and fitness and lifestyle.
Users can review these details and make changes if they find something inaccurate or no longer relevant.
They can also add new information or ask Gemini to remove specific details through a text prompt. For example, users can tell the assistant, "Add to my memory that I speak Japanese" or "Remove my old phone number from your memory."
If a request is unclear, Gemini may ask follow-up questions to make sure the changes are accurate.
The feature also includes a Memory history option, which lets users review when particular information was added or modified.
How to access Gemini's Memory summary
To view the feature, users can open the Gemini app or visit its website and go to Settings, then Personal Intelligence, and select Memory summary.
They can also simply ask Gemini, "What do you know about me?" to get an overview of the information it remembers.
Users must have Memory and Keep Activity enabled to use the feature. They can also turn Memory off through the Personal Intelligence settings if they no longer want Gemini to learn about them.
Google says Memory summary is currently available to users in the United States who have an active Google AI plan. It is also limited to personal Google accounts belonging to users aged 18 and older, with the feature currently available in English.
The company has yet to announce when it will become available in other regions.
