Gemini is getting upgraded with a new feature that will allow it to remember specific information about a user’s interests and preferences. On Tuesday, Google announced a new update for its artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot. With this, users can ask Gemini to remember information about themselves and it will continue to tailor its responses accordingly in all future conversations. This feature is currently only available to the paid subscribers of the chatbot and can be accessed on both the Web and the app.
Gemini Can Now Remember Users’ Interests and Preferences
Memory function in AI models is one of the most requested features. The capability allows the AI to remember certain information across sessions, and the user does not have to repeat the information in prompts over and over. This information can be anything from the user’s name and birthday to their preferred response style and profession. This limitation is also a major bottleneck that prevents chatbots from becoming a companion or assistants to humans, as every new conversation always starts with a blank slate.
Recently, AI firms have recognised this shortcoming and have begun working on this feature. Earlier this year, OpenAI added the Memory feature in ChatGPT. Other major players such as Anthropic and Microsoft also have a similar function available in their chatbots.
