Google just made AI images personal—And it knows you better than ever

In a blog post, the tech giant introduced the concept of “Personal Intelligence,” designed to make Gemini feel less like a generic tool and more like a personalised assistant.

“Personal Intelligence makes the Gemini app feel tailored to you, not just a generic tool that works the same for everyone,” the company said.

Smarter, More Personal Image Creation

The new feature integrates user preferences and interests with Nano Banana 2, enabling Gemini to generate images that reflect individual tastes with minimal input.

According to Google, users can now create customised visuals using simple prompts such as “Design my dream house” or “Create a picture of my desert island essentials.” The AI will automatically incorporate personal context drawn from connected Google apps.

“By integrating this context directly with Nano Banana 2, Gemini can automatically fill in the blanks, grounding every creation in the things you care about most,” the company noted.

Importantly, this functionality requires no additional setup. Once users link their Google apps, the system is ready to personalise outputs instantly.

Easy Refinement and Control

Acknowledging that results may not always be perfect on the first attempt, Google has built in tools for refinement. Users can provide feedback or adjust prompts to improve outputs.

Additionally, users can select alternative reference images from their Google Photos library by clicking the ‘+’ icon, allowing for more control and varied results.

Privacy Remains Central

Google emphasized that user privacy remains a priority. The company clarified that Gemini does not directly train its models on private Google Photos libraries.

Instead, limited data—such as prompts and responses—may be used to enhance functionality over time. Integration with Google apps is fully optional, and users can manage or revoke access at any time.

Rollout Details

The personalised image generation feature is being rolled out over the next few days to eligible Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers in the United States. Google also plans to expand availability to Gemini on Chrome desktops and additional users in the near future.
