Gemini Advanced Remembers

It’s Valentine’s Day—did you forget the chocolates? Fear not, because if you’re a Google Gemini Advanced user, forgetting is yesterday’s problem. The AI platform will now remember every discussion you’ve ever had and summarize them for you. The update, initially available to English-speaking subscribers of the Google One AI Premium Plan, hopes to streamline interactions by removing the need to revisit old conversations.

Google says that privacy and control are central to this functionality, with users having the ability to manage their chat histories, including reviewing, deleting, or setting limits on data retention. For additional privacy, users can completely disable the Gemini Apps Activity through the ‘My Activity’ settings. There are plans to extend this memory feature to other languages and to add it to Google Workspace Business and Enterprise customers in the coming weeks.

I’m wondering if this is super useful or super annoying. Will I constantly be deleting my cache or will I let this thing fill to the brim with old chats?
