Gemini Has Free Memory

​Google's Gemini is becoming increasingly tailored to individual users, with the "Saved info" feature, previously exclusive to Gemini Advanced subscribers, now rolling out to everyone. This follows Google's trend of democratizing advanced AI capabilities, having recently made document upload and image generation of people freely available.

What is "Saved Info"?

"Saved info" allows users to personalize their Gemini experience by storing specific details about their preferences, life, and work. This eliminates the need to repeatedly provide context in every conversation. Think of it as giving Gemini a personal cheat sheet, ensuring it understands your unique needs and preferences.

For example, you can tell Gemini:

• "Use simple language and avoid jargon."
• "I'm vegetarian, so don't suggest recipes with meat."
• "After responding, include a Spanish translation."
• "When trip planning, include the cost per day."
• "I can only write code in JavaScript."
• "I prefer short, concise responses."

These saved preferences shape Gemini's responses, making interactions more efficient and relevant.

How to Use It

Users can manage their saved information in several ways:

• Visit gemini.google.com/saved-info to input, edit, and delete preferences.
• Directly instruct Gemini in chats to remember specific details.
• Disable the feature entirely through a settings toggle.

Democratizing Advanced AI

Google initially launched "Saved info" for Gemini Advanced subscribers in November. The decision to make it free reflects Google's commitment to making advanced AI accessible to a wider audience. This move enhances Gemini's utility as a personal assistant and information tool.

Rollout and Availability

The rollout of "Saved info" to free users has begun, but it is not yet universally available. Currently, it's primarily being observed on gemini.google.com. Users can find the "Saved info" section via a prompt or by tapping "Settings" in the web side panel. On mobile devices, it appears at the top of the account menu.
​
As the feature becomes more widely available, users can expect a more personalized and efficient experience with Gemini. This update highlights the ongoing evolution of AI, with a focus on tailoring technology to individual needs and preferences.
