You can now create images using Gemini's memory at no cost.

      Google has simplified the process for trying one of Gemini's most intriguing AI features. The company is launching its personalized image generation option to eligible users in the U.S. at no cost, eliminating the paywall that previously restricted it to Gemini’s premium plans.

      This feature, driven by Google's Nano Banana image model, does more than just produce attractive images; it leverages Gemini’s understanding of you, making the AI-generated visuals feel remarkably tailored to your preferences.

      Let Gemini draw connections

      Typically, to get an AI image that reflects your personality, you would need to include extensive details about your interests, favorite foods, pets, or travel experiences in your prompt. However, Gemini streamlines this process. If you enable Personal Intelligence, Gemini can utilize context from linked Google services such as Gmail, Google Photos, YouTube, and Search to gain insights into your interests. Instead of painstakingly detailing everything you love, you can simply request an illustration of “me and my favorite things,” and it will fill in the gaps based on what it already knows about you.

      The feature is even capable of accessing images from your Google Photos library, eliminating the need for you to upload reference images each time you seek AI artwork that resembles you. However, this level of personalization is not automatic. Personal Intelligence is entirely optional, and Google allows you to select which services Gemini can access. Once activated, it defaults to being used for prompts, although a new toggle in the Tools menu enables you to disable it whenever you prefer a more general approach.

      This is more than just a bonus

      This rollout indicates that Google aims for Gemini to develop from a simple chatbot into a digital assistant that truly understands its users. Personal Intelligence became widely available in the U.S. earlier this year before expanding to India and Japan, and the addition of personalized image generation seems to be a logical progression.

      Moreover, it aligns with Google’s broader Gemini plans. Recent updates include a Daily Brief feature, an improved app experience, access to new AI video capabilities, and an upcoming personal AI agent named Gemini Spark. With Gemini now boasting over 750 million monthly active users, Google clearly remains on the move. Offering one of its more impressive AI image features for free could be an astute strategy to persuade curious users that Gemini is worth keeping—especially after the initial excitement of AI chatbots fades.

      NotebookLM’s 60-second videos have transformed my doomscrolling habit into something productive

      Short videos have dominated almost every application we use. You encounter them on X, lose track of time on Instagram, watch them on YouTube, and now even Netflix has introduced its own short-form feed. Therefore, when I learned that Google was introducing this format to NotebookLM, it seemed both unexpected and entirely predictable.

      Google has unveiled Short Video Overviews for NotebookLM, a feature that converts complex documents and challenging sources into 60-second vertical videos that convey essential ideas. Instead of sifting through pages of notes, you receive a quick visual summary of the concept you’re aiming to grasp.
