Google rolls out Gemini Memory summary to let you see and edit what it remembers about you

Google is rolling out a new Gemini Memory summary feature that allows users to inspect the assistant's understanding of them, bringing visible and editable personal profiles to the platform. According to MakeUseOf and remio, the feature places a readable personal profile inside the assistant's settings, covering categories such as personal background, professional projects, travel, entertainment, and lifestyle. MakeUseOf reported that the section lets users inspect, correct, and delete personal details Gemini uses to tailor its responses. Before this update, Gemini offered no visible list showing where stored information was kept, unlike rivals ChatGPT and Claude which already provided editable memory summaries. MakeUseOf noted that in previous experiments testing how to erase a false piece of information taught to multiple chatbots, Gemini offered no storage list, requiring users to delete relevant conversations to verify whether the lie had disappeared. Remio noted that 9to5Google reported on November 9 that the feature is appearing on the web under Personal Intelligence, presenting specific details as bullet points while allowing users to request additions or removals, make broader edits, and inspect a change history. Google's official documentation confirms the feature and its requirements, according to remio. MakeUseOf notes that users can find the new summary by navigating to Settings, selecting Personal Intelligence, and choosing Memory summary, or simply by asking Gemini, "What do you know about me?" Changes can then be made through written prompts, and users can navigate to the main Personal Intelligence menu to disable Memory altogether. Remio and MakeUseOf both state that the rollout currently has specific limitations. According to these sources, the Memory summary controls require a personal account, an adult user, and enabled Keep Activity and Memory settings, while being restricted to US users with an active Google AI plan who are operating in English. MakeUseOf points out that these summaries are not a complete record of every piece of data Google holds, as Gemini's Memory, chat history, Connected Apps, and Google account activity remain related but separate systems. Furthermore, MakeUseOf warns that editing a remembered detail will not necessarily delete the conversations or other shared data from which Gemini originally inferred it. Remio highlighted that the feature requires eligible personal accounts and is not automatically an administrative tool for company knowledge, meaning professionals using the assistant for work should distinguish personal experiences from organizational controls.
