Google's Gemini wants to get to know the real you
Google has announced a new feature for Gemini that allows the chatbot to remember specific details about users and recall them in later conversations. This feature aims to provide more helpful and relevant responses tailored to individual needs.
What is the new memory feature all about?
Described as "giving Gemini a user manual, designed by you," this new feature will enhance the chatbot's performance by ensuring consistent and predictable results without unnecessary repetition of details. It aims to seamlessly integrate AI into users' existing workflows while providing a sense of control over personal data. The feature focuses solely on users' interests and preferences, whether related to work, hobbies, or general aspirations.
The memory feature is now live, enabling users to ask Gemini Advanced to remember their interests and preferences for more tailored responses. Users can easily view, edit, or delete any shared information and track its usage.
Users can input details through Gemini's "Saved Info" page or simply converse with the chatbot. While conversational input may raise concerns about unintentionally sharing sensitive details, users have full control over the information stored by Gemini.
How can you access the feature?
The new feature is initially available in English for Gemini Advanced users. To access it, users need a Google One AI Premium Plan, priced at $20 per month.
Comparison with similar features
Gemini's new recall capacity aligns closely with the Memories feature introduced by OpenAI earlier this year. This feature, available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers, remembers details like food preferences and pet names across conversations. Similarly to Gemini, users can review, edit, and delete saved information as needed.
Moreover, the latest code in the ChatGPT beta suggests that Advanced Voice Mode may soon incorporate visual capabilities alongside voice interactions.
What's next in the world of AI and technology?
As technology continues to evolve, AI advancements are reshaping the landscape. Companies like Nvidia play a key role in driving AI innovation through specialized computer chips. The ongoing development of hardware tailored for AI tasks underscores the growing demand for efficient AI solutions.
While Apple and Google cater to customer demands, GM remains confident in its in-house infotainment software. The competitive tech market encourages companies to explore new avenues for hardware development, reflecting Steve Jobs' vision for simplified products like the Apple TV set.
Looking ahead, the future promises significant improvements in computing power, as noted by the Nvidia CEO. This advancement signifies a transformative decade ahead, with AI technology poised for substantial growth and enhancement.
