Google is now expanding its Personal Intelligence feature, which uses data from a user's Google accounts and apps to provide tailored recommendations and assistance, to Gemini app users globally, excluding the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the UK. The feature aims to make Google's AI assistant more ubiquitous and integrated into users' digital lives.
