Personal Intelligence with Gemini Starts Rolling out to Android Auto and Cars with Google Built-In

The integration of Google’s Gemini chatbot on Android Auto and cars with Google built-in is getting better today with the rollout of Personal Intelligence. When enabled, Personal Intelligence in Gemini connects the chatbot to users’ data in other Google services such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Photos, and Google Search to provide more personalized and useful responses.

In practice, Personal Intelligence allows Gemini to easily find useful information about upcoming trips while users are driving. With that additional context, Gemini can warn users when their flights are delayed; it can also find them find restaurants that match their tastes based on previous reservations, and more.

« Personal Intelligence has two core strengths: retrieving specific details from, say, an email, photo or a place you saved in Google Maps to answer your question and reasoning across complex sources. That’s especially helpful when your hands are on the wheel. Personal Intelligence does the heavy lifting so you can speak naturally, without having to explain context or dig for information, » explained Karan Daryanani, Sr. Product Manager, Gemini.

Personal Intelligence in Gemini is starting to roll out today on Android Auto, but the experience is completely opt-in in Gemini settings. It will become available in the coming months on cars with Google built-in, which run the company’s automotive operating system directly without the need for a connected Android phone.
