Google’s Personal Intelligence feature, which lets Gemini pull data from apps like Google Photos to offer responses tailored to you, can now use that data and its Nano Banana 2 image model to create images based on your personal context.
With the feature, you can use prompts like “Design my dream house” or “Create a picture of my desert island essentials” and the photos Gemini creates will “automatically reflect your specific tastes and lifestyle, gleaned from the Google apps you’ve connected to,” Google says in a blog post. Under the hood, the integration uses your labels in Google Photos to identify people like you, your friends, and your family, and then Nano Banana 2 creates the image, spokesperson Elijah Lawal tells The Verge.
Google notes that if you do opt in to Personal Intelligence, the company will not “directly train” its AI models on your private Google Photos library. However, it does train on “limited info” such as “specific prompts in Gemini and the model’s responses.”
Google says the feature will be rolling out “over the next few days” to eligible AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers in the US. The feature is set to come to Gemini on Chrome desktops and “more users” soon.
