Gemini’s free version now supports saved info for personalized responses

What you need to know

  • Gemini is gaining another Gemini Advanced feature — this time it’s saved information.
  • You can tell Gemini a few things about yourself to help better inform its responses in a way that’s personalized to you.
  • The feature is starting to become available for free Gemini users, but is not widely rolled out.

Google has earned a reputation for steadily migrating Gemini Advanced features to Gemini’s free tier, and that continues with the rollout of Gemini’s “saved info” tool — becoming available now for free users. While not fully rolled out yet, the feature has been spotted by Reddit users on the Gemini web client and was first reported by 9to5Google.

Saved information in Gemini essentially serves as a basic memory that can help the AI assistant deliver more personalized responses. “Share info about your life and preferences to get more helpful response,” the company explains. “Add new info here or ask Gemini to remember something during a chat.”

Previously, Gemini’s saved info tab was only available for Gemini Advanced users and locked behind the $20 per month Google One AI Premium plan. It’s still restricted to the English language only, but it is now starting to appear for free users. Gemini users may see a pop-up explaining that the feature is available, or can manually find it by opening the Gemini sidebar, selecting the Settings gear, and clicking Saved info.

Google shares a few examples of the type of information that Gemini might find helpful:

  • Use simple language and avoid jargon
  • I’m vegetarian, so don’t suggest recipes with meat
  • After responding, include a Spanish translation
  • When trip planning, include the cost per day
  • I can only write code in JavaScript
  • I prefer short, concise responses
