Google's Gemini Now Shows What It Remembers About You
You can finally see and fix the personal info Google's AI keeps about you.
Google's Gemini, its AI assistant, now lets you see what it remembers about you from past conversations. The new feature, called Memory summary, organizes your personal details into five categories like career, travel, and fitness. You can view this information, correct mistakes, and remove things you don't want Gemini to know. For example, if you changed jobs, you can update your employment info so Gemini stops referencing your old workplace.
This matters because AI assistants are increasingly personalizing responses based on what they know about you. If that information is wrong or outdated, you get bad recommendations or embarrassing mistakes. Memory summary gives you control and transparency. However, there are catches. The feature is only available to US users aged 18+ with a Google AI subscription and certain settings enabled. Also, editing a memory doesn't delete the original chat where Gemini learned that detail. To fully remove personal info, you need to delete the entire conversation or turn off Memory altogether.
Google says you can access Memory summary through Settings → Personal Intelligence → Memory summary, or by asking Gemini, 'What do you know about me?' The company is also working on stronger privacy protections, like encryption keys stored on your device. For now, if you're eligible, it's worth checking what Gemini remembers and cleaning up anything outdated or sensitive. Just remember that memory edits alone aren't a full privacy fix—review your chat history and activity settings too.
- Gemini now shows you a summary of what it remembers about you, organized into five categories.
- You can correct wrong details, like an old job or phone number, directly in the memory summary.
- Deleting a memory doesn't delete the original chat, so you may need to delete conversations separately for full privacy.
