Google has expanded its Gemini Personal Intelligence feature to India, extending its push toward deeply personalized AI experiences across one of its largest global markets. The rollout enables users to connect services such as Gmail and Google Photos, allowing Gemini to generate responses based on personal data, including emails, images, and activity history.
The feature enables contextual queries, such as retrieving travel plans or surfacing insights from recent activity, including content viewed on YouTube. Google indicated that Gemini identifies source references within responses to improve transparency and user verification. At launch, the capability is limited to AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers in India, with broader access expected to follow.
The company previously introduced the feature in the United States in January before expanding availability nationwide in March and launching in Japan. The India rollout reflects Google’s accelerated deployment of advanced AI tools in the region, following recent integrations such as Gemini in Chrome and partnerships enabling AI-driven restaurant bookings via platforms including Zomato, Swiggy, and EazyDiner.
Google acknowledged that Gemini may misinterpret context or nuance in user data, particularly in complex personal scenarios, and emphasized ongoing refinement as adoption scales.
Google Introduces Gemini “Skills” in Chrome to Standardize and Automate AI Workflows
Google has introduced a new AI capability within its Chrome browser called Skills, designed to streamline and standardize how users interact with its Gemini assistant across the web. The feature enables users to save and reuse frequently used AI prompts, allowing them to execute consistent workflows across multiple web pages without re-entering instructions.
Integrated directly into Google Chrome, Skills builds on existing Gemini functionality that allows users to summarize content, analyze pages, and perform contextual tasks. The addition enables persistent prompt execution, meaning users can apply predefined instructions — such as modifying recipes or comparing products — across different sites with minimal friction.
Users can create Skills from prior interactions and access them through shortcuts within the browser interface. These prompts can be edited, customized, and applied across multiple tabs, extending Gemini’s utility into more complex, multi-page workflows. Early testing showed adoption across use cases including health tracking, shopping comparisons, and document summarization.
To support onboarding, Google is launching a Skills library featuring pre-built workflows across productivity, budgeting, and other common tasks. The rollout begins with desktop users signed into their Google accounts, initially limited to English-language settings. The launch positions Chrome more competitively against emerging AI-native browsers from OpenAI, Perplexity AI, and The Browser Company, as browser-based AI becomes an increasingly central interface layer.
