Gemini on Android Auto can now answer from your Gmail and Photos

Google has begun rolling out its Personal Intelligence feature for Gemini on Android Auto, allowing access to personal data from Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Photos, Google Maps, YouTube, and Search to provide tailored responses. Users must opt in through Gemini’s settings and can link specific apps, with the option to reverse this at any time. A personal Google account, age of at least 18, and enabled Keep Activity privacy setting are required. For Google Photos, users must activate Face Groups. Gemini does not directly train its models using personal data but relies on summaries and inferences. Kenya is included in the rollout, but Android Auto's availability is limited, with South Africa being the only operational country in Africa. Swahili is offered but lacks full support for voice commands. The cost of Personal Intelligence is unclear, with different pricing for Google AI subscriptions in Kenya.
