'Remember That I Like Vietnamese Food': Google Gives 'Memory' To Gemini
Google’s Gemini AI chatbot will now have a memory feature, allowing users to save information about life, work, or preferences.
Google’s Gemini AI chatbot will now have ChatGPT's Memory-like feature, allowing users to save information about life, work, or preferences, and ask Gemini to remember something during a chat to get more helpful responses.
According to a Google update on the Gemini support page, users can ask Gemini to remember their preferences and interests so that it can offer responses that are specifically suited to them.
The Gemini feature, like ChatGPT’s, offers essential context to conversation. For instance, if you instruct Gemini that you like Vietnamese food, the bot may adjust its restaurant recommendations, based on your preferences the next time you ask it.
Examples of some memories are provided by Google in the Gemini UI. These include “Use simple language and avoid jargon,” “I can only write code in JavaScript,” and “When planning a trip, include the cost per day". According to Google, memories are saved until they are manually erased, although users can turn off the feature at any time.
Google said that it is gradually releasing this feature in the Gemini mobile app, so it might not be available to all users just yet, and they can instead use the Gemini web app to save info.
Users require a personal Google Account with Gemini Advanced. The feature isn't yet available with a work or school Google Account, is only available in English, and cannot be used with Gemini Live for now.
