Google in its latest upgrade of Gemini Advanced AI chatbot, has introduced a memory feature, allowing Gemini to remember and reference past conversations. The tech giants consider this event a significant step in AI Chatbot interaction.
Gemini’s New Memory Feature
Previously, Gemini users had to start each conversation from scratch, as the chatbot lacked the ability to recall prior discussions. With this update, users can now ask Gemini to summarize past chats or build upon earlier conversations without manually searching through old threads. For instance, if a user had a discussion about the solar system, they could simply request a summary, and Gemini would recall the relevant details.
Google promises that this context-awareness upgrade will make interactions smoother and more relevant. This enhancement places Gemini ahead of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which, while capable of remembering general details over time, cannot directly recall or summarize specific past conversations on demand.
Though ChatGPT has had a similar memory feature for some time, Gemini’s adoption of it is expected to enhance user experience significantly. This move is set to intensify the competition between ChatGPT and Gemini, making AI advancements even more competitive in 2025 and beyond.
Privacy and User Control
While this memory feature is a major AI breakthrough, privacy-conscious users may have concerns. Google assures users they will have full control over their stored chat history. Users can:
- Review, delete, or manage how long their conversations are retained.
- Completely disable the memory feature through the Gemini Apps Activity settings on Google’s “My Activity” dashboard.
- See indications when Gemini references past conversations in its responses.
Availability and Future Expansion
The new feature is currently rolling out in English for Gemini Advanced subscribers on the Google One AI Premium Plan. It is available on both the Gemini web and mobile apps. Google has also announced plans to expand this feature to other languages and integrate it into Google Workspace Business and Enterprise customers in the coming weeks.
Google’s Latest AI Model – Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking
In related AI advancements, Google recently introduced its Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking model, a reasoning AI system similar to DeepSeek. This model is designed to break down prompts into step-by-step reasoning, allowing users to trace the chatbot’s thought process, understand its assumptions, and see why it responded in a certain way.
These latest developments reinforce Google’s commitment to advancing AI-powered interactions and improving user experience. Stay tuned to AI Library for more updates on AI innovations.
