The company Google recently announced the incorporation of a new feature in its artificial intelligence chatbot called Gemini. This feature allows the chatbot to access users' search history to provide more personalized recommendations.
According to a company statement, the new version Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking is still in an experimental phase and will allow the chatbot to refer to the user's Google search history to better understand them and adjust its responses to individual preferences.
"With Gemini we are creating an AI personal assistant that is not limited to answering general questions, but understands you," said Dave Citron, product director of Gemini.
In the coming months, the chatbot will be able to link to other Google applications and services such as Photos, Calendar, Notes, or YouTube, which will provide it with a broader knowledge of the user's activities and preferences.
The feature will allow the chatbot to analyze users' questions and determine if their search history can improve the response. However, since the model is in an experimental phase, the update is only available on the web for application subscribers, with plans to gradually extend to mobile devices.
Gemini will require user permission before accessing their search history or other applications. The new feature will be available in over 40 languages and in most countries around the world.
"All these updates are designed for Gemini to feel less like a tool and more like a natural extension of you," Citron expressed.
These updates in Google's chatbot come shortly after the Chinese artificial intelligence DeepSeek generated a stir in the U.S. technology market due to its low costs.
