AI Mode in Google search can now pull context from your other apps

Google's AI-Driven Search Just Got a Whole Lot Smarter

In a bid to revolutionize its search capabilities, tech giant Google has announced that it's integrating Personal Intelligence into its AI Mode in Search. This innovative feature, powered by the company's Gemini 3 AI model, leverages data from other Google apps to provide more personalized and relevant results.

For instance, if you're searching for clothes online with Personal Intelligence enabled, Google can take cues from your purchase history or previous orders, making recommendations that are tailored to your tastes. Even if you've booked flights or made reservations in your Gmail inbox, the feature can now cross-reference that information with your search queries, providing suggestions that are informed by both your interests and your travel plans.

However, it's worth noting that this advanced AI-driven approach also comes with some caveats. While Google claims not to draw insights from personal emails or photos libraries, its models do learn from the prompts users enter into AI Mode and their responses to those prompts. This raises concerns about accuracy, as the feature can sometimes struggle to grasp context or make connections between unrelated topics.

For now, Personal Intelligence is an experimental feature rolling out in Google Labs for select users. Those with a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscription in the US will have automatic access to this advanced feature, which will connect seamlessly to Gmail and Google Photos accounts – but only on personal Google accounts, not Workspace ones just yet.

so they're finally bringing some serious game-changer tech to their search bar! I'm all about that personalized experience, you know? Like when you're scrolling through memes on Pinterest, the algorithm's already got a pretty good idea of what you're into, right?

But seriously, this AI-driven search with Personal Intelligence is gonna be HUGE. It's not just about tailoring results to your individual tastes – it's also about tying in all these other Google apps to give you an even more seamless experience. I mean, if you're searching for flights and the AI picks up on that from your Gmail inbox, that's some next-level stuff right there!

Of course, with great power comes great responsibility, and I do have some concerns about how accurate this feature is gonna be. I mean, we've all had those moments where Google just can't seem to get what you're looking for... but I guess that's part of the risk, right? Trying something new, pushing the boundaries...

So yeah, I'm both excited and a little wary – time'll tell if Personal Intelligence is gonna be a total win or a hot mess!

So I think this is pretty cool, but also a bit unsettling at the same time. On one hand, being able to get tailored results based on my search history and past purchases sounds super convenient - like having my own personal assistant built into Google Search . But on the other hand, there's definitely some creepiness factor going on here with all this data being scraped from different parts of my online life. I mean, what if Google starts serving me ads for stuff I never even looked at or bought? That's just not cool .

At the same time, I can see how this feature is gonna make Google Search way more useful and helpful - like when you're searching for something specific but also kinda looking for related info . And hey, if Google can get it right and use all that data responsibly, then maybe we'll be looking at a whole new level of AI-driven search capabilities .

The thing is though, I do wish they'd been more transparent about how this feature works and what kind of data they're collecting from us - just a heads up would've been nice . But I guess that's just the price we pay for innovation .

omg I'm so hyped about this new update , personally I think its a game changer for online shopping like if you're searching for clothes its already gonna give you recs based on what you've bought before, no more scrolling through endless pages trying to find something that fits your style . and the part about it connecting with your flight bookings? genius it makes sense that google would use all those details to help u get relevant results...but at the same time I'm a bit worried about what kinda data they're gonna be looking at is it really just limited to purchase history or do they have other ways of accessing info?

Omg what even is going on ! so google is like "oh yeah we're gonna make our search thing smarter" and then they go and add this personal intelligence stuff which sounds kinda creepy lol? like it's trying to know all your secrets and give you personalized results but at the same time its not clear if its actually working or just making things up . and what's with the whole "we're not looking at your emails or photos" thing, how can we even trust them with that . anyway, i guess its nice that they're trying to innovate and stuff but idk man...

I'm low-key excited about this new AI-driven search feature from Google , but I also got some concerns . On one hand, it's awesome that they're using data from other Google apps to give more personalized results – like, if I'm searching for clothes and my history shows me buying athleisure wear, the AI should be able to suggest similar styles . But on the other hand, what if this feature starts making some pretty wild connections between unrelated stuff? Like, I search for "vacation destinations" and then I get a ton of ads for beachfront condos? That just sounds like a recipe for weirdness.

I'm also kinda worried about accuracy issues – what if the AI gets confused or misinterprets context? Wouldn't that be super frustrating?

OMG so like Google is trying to level up its search game with this Personal Intelligence thingy and I gotta say it's kinda cool but also a bit worrying? Like how does it know what you're interested in without, like, actually looking at your stuff? And don't even get me started on the emails and photos library thing that's just weird. But at the same time, it makes sense to use all the data Google has to make search results more relevant. Guess we'll just have to wait and see how this plays out . One thing for sure tho, my Google searches just got a whole lot smarter !
