Google Gemini launches 'Memory summary' to let users view and edit AI-stored personal details

Google has introduced a new feature called "Memory summary" in its AI assistant Gemini, enabling users to view, add, or remove personal details that Gemini has stored about them. The feature is now available across the Gemini website, iOS and Android mobile apps, and Windows and Mac desktop applications.

Users can access this function via the "Personal Intelligence" section in settings. Memories are organized by categories such as Essentials and Business & Career. Users can directly edit these entries using a pencil icon or instruct Gemini to modify specific memories through conversation. For instance, if Gemini incorrectly records a user's location or profession, they can manually correct it, and changes sync across all devices.

This update addresses growing concerns about AI privacy and data control. While Gemini's memory feature aids personalization, users previously had limited visibility into what information was being stored. The new "Memory history" option also allows users to track when memories were changed.
