After the launch of Gemini 2.0, the US tech giant Google has updated its Gemini AI app with more advanced features. Its users can now explore advanced features such as an upgraded research assistant, deeper personalization, and expanded connectivity with Google apps, all of which are available at no cost.
The company has announced the news on its X post, stating that, “Today, we’re making big upgrades to the performance and availability of our most popular Gemini features and adding a new feature that will make Gemini even more personal and helpful.”
The post also includes a video that demonstrates how Gemini has improved with new features and has become more personalized. It further highlighted that now, based on its users’ search history and past research, it will analyze the recent query, and research will provide a response that meets the users’ needs and interests.
The Deep Research feature, once exclusive to Gemini Advanced, is now free for all users. It uses advanced reasoning to create detailed reports with findings and source links, simplifying complex research tasks.
The company has also said that it will expand its Gemini capabilities to other Google apps and services, like Google Photos, Tasks, Calendar, and Notes, in the coming months. Google also announced that it has implemented a privacy feature to protect its notes and data.
Custom AI experts, called “Gems,” are now free for Gemini users aged 18+. Users can select pre-made Gems, such as translators or meal planners, or create custom ones with specific instructions for personalized results, broadening Gemini’s adaptability and appeal.
The Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental model boosts performance with faster speeds, advanced reasoning, file uploads, and a 1 million token context window for Gemini Advanced users, enabling deeper, context-aware interactions for enhanced productivity.
Google prioritizes privacy, ensuring user data protection with options to manage Gemini Apps Activity. Users can prevent conversations from improving Google’s machine learning, adjusting settings via their Google Account for a secure, controlled experience.
The implementation of this update in Gemini follows the launch of China’s new AI Manus AI. However, with these latest updates, Gemini is positioning itself as a more adaptive, intelligent, and deeply integrated AI assistant worldwide.
