Gemini AI just got more personal, and it does Deep Research better than before

Just as Apple is dealing with a self-made AI nightmare after confirming its smarter AI-powered Siri is nothing but vaporware for the time being, Google is out with new Gemini upgrades

Gemini AI, Google’s answer to Apple’s new AI-powered Siri and ChatGPT, just got more personal and does Deep Research better than before.

Apple (AAPL) is dealing with a self-made AI nightmare after confirming that its smarter AI-powered Siri is nothing but vaporware for the time being. Meanwhile, Google (GOOGL) is rolling out new Gemini upgrades that make the chatbot even more useful. The enhancements include personalization tricks that we actually expected Apple Intelligence and Siri to deliver before other companies got there.

Announced via a pair of blog posts on Thursday, Google highlighted some of the Gemini apps that will be available, with the updates rolling out in phases. Some of the updates will be free to some users and to everyone with a Gemini Advanced premium subscription.

Better Gemini Deep Research

After announcing a Deep Research feature for Gemini back in December and a 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental AI reasoning model to compete against ChatGPT (0)earlier this week, Google is now rolling out upgrades to the service.

The company says it’s rolling out the ability for Gemini to perform Deep Research tasks better than before thanks to new integration with Google Search. The feature will be able to access and synthesize information from the web, which will enable it to answer more complex questions and complete more challenging tasks.

The new Deep Research capabilities will be available in limited beta to some users with a Gemini Advanced subscription.

The updates also include more personalization features, allowing users to create and save custom personas for Gemini. These personas can be tailored to specific tasks or interests, such as writing in a particular tone of voice or focusing on a specific subject matter.

The company also announced that it’s expanding the availability of Gemini Pro, its premium subscription service, to more users. The subscription service provides access to more advanced features, such as the ability to generate code in multiple programming languages and create images with simple text prompts.
