For most people

Worth a look if you use Android Auto; review privacy settings.

Personal Intelligence for Gemini began rolling out to Android Auto today.
It draws on Gmail, Calendar, Photos, Maps, YouTube and Search to personalize answers.
You can say "take me to the coffee shop we were talking about yesterday" without details.
It is opt-in, and reaches Android Auto automatically if you turned it on in the Gemini app on your phone.
On Android Automotive (cars with Google built-in) it arrives in the coming months, only with your phone connected.
Without it, navigation, music and calls still work, but answers are not personalized.

Try itUseful for frequent drivers; turn it on if you are comfortable sharing data.
