■ AI-SUMMARIZED FROM 2 SOURCES ▸ TIMELINE

Google has expanded its Gemini Personal Intelligence feature to India, initially rolling out to AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. The feature connects users' Google accounts to deliver tailored AI responses.

Personal Intelligence allows users to link their Google accounts—including Gmail, Photos, and other services—to receive customized answers from Gemini. This integration enables the AI to access user data and provide more relevant, personalized responses. The rollout begins with paid subscribers on AI Pro and Ultra tiers. Google has not announced a timeline for broader availability to free users in the region. This expansion marks Google's continued effort to deepen Gemini's capabilities in key markets. The feature leverages user data already stored within Google's ecosystem, positioning Gemini as a more integrated assistant for Indian users. The move comes as AI assistants compete on personalization features. By connecting Gemini to existing Google services, the company aims to differentiate its offering and increase utility for subscribers willing to pay for premium AI features.
