Google’s Gemini chatbot now has the ability to remember details about your life, work, and personal preferences. A new “memory” feature is rolling out to some Gemini users, including myself. Just like ChatGPT, Gemini’s memory feature enhances the conversation by adding context. For example, if you tell Gemini your favorite foods, next time you ask for restaurant suggestions, it might personalize its recommendations based on your food preferences.

The memory feature is currently only accessible to subscribers of Google’s $20-per-month Google One AI Premium plan, as reported by 9to5Google. It has not yet been introduced to the Gemini apps on iOS and Android, only on the web client. In the Gemini user interface, Google provides examples of helpful memory prompts, such as “Use simple language and avoid jargon,” “I can only code in JavaScript,” and “When planning a trip, include the daily cost.” Google mentions that while the feature currently only supports English prompts, users can deactivate it at any time, but memories will remain stored until manually deleted.

It’s important to note that Gemini memories are not utilized for training models. A Google spokesperson confirmed via email to TechCrunch that “Your saved information is never shared or used for model training.” However, similar memory features, like ChatGPT’s and Gemini’s, can be vulnerable to exploitation if not properly safeguarded. Earlier this year, a security researcher discovered that hackers could implant “fake” memories in ChatGPT to steal a user’s data indefinitely.
