hi there…… hope all is well with you 🙂 

1 - Google Launched Personal Intelligence

Google has a new tool in its Gemini app called Personal Intelligence. This tool can look at your Gmail, Google Photos, searches, and YouTube videos to give you better answers. You get to decide if you want to use it.

What it does:

1. Gemini can search through your Google apps to answer your questions. You don't have to tell it where to look.

2. It can find car details from your emails, read license plates from your photos, and suggest things to buy based on places you've visited.

3. Google says the tool might sometimes get things wrong, especially about important life events or when your interests change. They're trying to fix this.

4. You can pick which Google apps Gemini can look at. It's your choice.

5. Gemini won't learn from your emails or photos, but some of your questions and its answers might help make the system better.

6. Right now, only people in the U.S. who pay for Google AI Pro or AI Ultra can try it. Later, more people in other countries will get to use it.

This change makes Gemini much better at understanding your life. It can help you more, but it also makes people think about how much personal information they want to share with AI.
