Google has officially rolled out a new memory feature for its Gemini AI chatbot, enhancing its ability to recall past conversations and provide more relevant and helpful responses. This new update allows Gemini to retain the context of previous conversations and provide more accurate responses, thereby eliminating the necessity for users to review or search for past discussions.
Previously, Gemini had a limited memory that allowed it to retain user preferences upon request. However, with this latest update, the AI model now has a broader memory, enabling it to reference entire conversations and summarize past chats on specific topics. This feature allows users to continue conversations seamlessly, as Gemini will fetch relevant information from earlier discussions with just a prompt. This function enables users to continue conversations in a seamless manner, as Gemini will retrieve pertinent information from previous discussions with a simple prompt.
Users can now ask Gemini to summarize a topic discussed over several chats, and the AI will provide a consolidated response, citing the previous conversations. A “Source and related content” feature will complete responses by listing previous talks that influenced the answer. The summary function is available for Gemini 2.0 Flash and 1.5 Pro, which are stable releases, but it will be added to experimental versions at a later date.
Users have full control over their conversation history since they may review previous communications and decide whether to delete them or set retention periods for the chat logs. Users can turn off the memory feature entirely by deactivating Gemini Apps Activity in the settings menu. Users have flexible options for managing their data.
Users who speak English and are on the Gemini Advanced plan with Google One AI Premium can access this functionality from both the mobile and online applications. Google plans to expand this capacity across numerous languages before the end of the month, as well as provide it to business clients who use Google Workspace.
Gemini has memory features that allow it to recover and reference previous talks, resulting in more personalised interactions. The AI system allows users to request extra work on existing projects while guaranteeing a smooth transition between previous and current discussions. The feature is similar to those offered by other AI chatbots, including OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Meta’s recent memory updates.
Google’s Gemini AI memory feature is set to simplify user interactions by providing smooth, context-rich replies while protecting privacy with sophisticated chat history management choices.
