Google Search AI Mode can use Gmail and Photos to get to know you
Google is helping AI Mode to provide more personalized responses in Search by allowing the chatbot to analyze your Gmail and Google Photos accounts. After launching for Gemini AI last week, “Personal Intelligence” is now coming to tailor AI Mode search results to your interests and daily life by gathering information from your emails and photos, instead of requiring you to manually create and adjust your preferences.
For example, Google says Personal Intelligence allows AI Mode to suggest travel itineraries by referencing hotel bookings in your Gmail and holiday snaps in Photos. If you take a lot of selfies with ice cream, then it could curate recommendations for ice cream parlors. When using AI Mode to shop online, it can prioritize products from brands you wear or have purchased before.
Eligible Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers can opt in to the Gmail and Google Photos connections for AI Mode starting today. The update is rolling out in the US as a feature in Google Labs and is only available for personal Google accounts. This rollout follows Personal Intelligence being introduced to Gemini AI, which can also tap into Search and YouTube history alongside Gmail and Photos.
“Built with privacy in mind, AI Mode uses our most intelligent model, Gemini 3, and doesn’t train directly on your Gmail inbox or Google Photos library,” Google Search VP Robby Stein said in the announcement. “Training is contained to limited info, like specific prompts in AI Mode and the model’s responses, to improve functionality over time.”
Stein says that while Personal Intelligence can be helpful, internal testing shows that “mistakes can happen.” AI Mode users can correct any unsuitable recommendations and provide feedback by giving a follow-up response or giving it a “thumbs down.”
