Google Gemini is rolling out ChatGPT-like memory feature that remembers past conversations

Hindustan Times3 days ago
On Wednesday, Google announced new personalisation features for the Gemini app, bringing ChatGPT-like memory features and Temporary Chat that does not appear in history. These new additions will make the Gemini app more personalised and secure for users who want to maintain their privacy. The Gemini app will now remember key details from past conversations to provide a more natural experience.(Google)
Gemini's memory feature is being called 'personal context', where the AI chatbot will remember key details and preferences from past conversations, allowing users to have more relevant conversations with Gemini. In addition, the feature also gives users the ability to manage and delete their conversations.
On the other hand, Gemini's Temporary Chat feature will allow users to have a quick conversation, but it will not appear in their recent chats or Gemini Apps Activity. This feature is quite similar to ChatGPT's Temporary Chat feature, where certain conversations do not appear in the chat history.
Gemini app personal context
Google is rolling out a new setting for the Gemini app where it will learn about the user, their interest, preferences, and others from past conversations. By learning these key details and conversations, it will allow the AI chatbot to provide a more personalised or natural response with context from previous conversations. As mentioned above, this feature is similar to ChatGPT's memory feature, which also remembers key details for a personalised response.
The personal context feature on the Gemini app is rolling out to 2.5 Pro model users in selected countries. The feature will be enabled by default, although users can control or simply turn off the feature as per their preferences. Google also assured Gemini users that bring this feature to 2.5 Flash model users and more countries in the coming months.
Gemini Temporary Chat
Want to ask a private question, or do you want to keep your queries hidden? Then, Google is rolling out Temporary Chat to Gemini, where users can ask embarrassing or private questions without worrying about the conversations appearing on recent chats or Gemini Apps Activity.
This is a similar feature to Google Search's Incognito mode, where the search history is not saved to maintain user privacy. Google also assured that these temporary chats will not be ' used to personalise your Gemini experience or train Google's AI models.' However, these chats will be saved for up to 72 hours for responses and optional feedback.
Other key updates on the Gemini app will include the renaming of "Gemini Apps Activity" to 'Keep Activity.' Conversations saved in this tab will be used for improving Google services. However, users can turn this setting off, or Google recommend using the new Temporary Chat feature.

She quit school at 13 to build a GPT agency and chase financial freedom by 20. Netizens remain divided between praise and concern

A journey sparked by curiosity From cloning herself to coding with AI Netizens split over her bold move You Might Also Like: AI is reshaping career skills and college curricula, but are schools ready when students let AI do their assignments? For most 13-year-olds, life revolves around school, homework, and the occasional exam stress. But for Parineeti, the classroom became irrelevant. She left school at 13 and decided to build her own GPT-powered automation agency. At just 14 now, she says, 'School was kind of wasting my potential.'Speaking on the podcast Just Kidding With Sid! hosted by Siddhesh Lokare, Parineeti shared that she audits businesses, semi-automates their operations, and has already created custom GPTs for paying father introduced her to ChatGPT and encouraged her to spend two hours daily experimenting with it. Soon those two hours doubled, and ChatGPT became more than just a study tool. She admitted, 'Mummy thought I had a boyfriend, but no, I was talking to ChatGPT. I became more dependent on it than I should have been.'Parineeti even used AI to clear exams, including Sanskrit. 'Teachers discourage us from using AI, but it's the future, so why shouldn't I use it?' she not knowing how to code, she relied on ChatGPT to write programs and even designed AI avatars, including one of herself and her father. 'It sounds more like me than me. Sometimes I wonder—am I Parineeti or is that Parineeti?' she work is no longer just an experiment. She has 4-5 clients and says she is already earning. Her vision? To achieve financial freedom by the age of 20 and enjoy life after her parents have backed her decision, her mother worries about her social skills and heavy dependence on AI. Parineeti herself admits struggling to share her own story has not only sparked admiration but also ignited a heated debate about the role of education in the age of AI. While many see her as a pioneer charting her own unconventional path, others believe her journey paints an incomplete picture of argue that traditional schooling often stifles creativity and slows down fast learners. One user wrote, 'Parineeti is living proof that our rigid education system needs reform. Children should be encouraged to explore their interests rather than just chase marks.' Another praised her entrepreneurial spirit, commenting, 'At 14, she is doing what most adults dream of. It's refreshing to see a girl leading the AI wave instead of waiting for opportunities.'But critics remain wary. Some pointed out the risks of emotional and social isolation. 'Bookish knowledge is not everything, but school also teaches you teamwork, discipline, and resilience. She may earn money today but miss out on these life skills,' a user unusual path has sparked bigger questions: if AI is reshaping workplaces and even higher education, should schools rethink how they prepare students for the future? For now, her story sits at the intersection of inspiration and concern, leaving society to debate whether she is a trailblazer—or a cautionary tale.
