Gemini will soon be able to remember your past chats, similar to ChatGPT’s memory feature.
The company is also testing a feature called “pcontext” that could let Gemini draw insights from all your Google apps.
More details about these features are expected to be revealed at Google I/O, which begins on May 20.

The AI chatbot race is heating up, and Google is gearing up to give its Gemini assistant a significant boost in how well it understands you. In a post shared on X, Josh Woodward, VP of Google Labs and Gemini, revealed that Gemini will soon gain the ability to recall past conversations and, eventually, learn from your activity across other Google apps, such as Gmail, Calendar, and YouTube.

This comes just weeks after OpenAI announced a major upgrade to ChatGPT’s memory, allowing the assistant to remember past conversations and use that information to tailor future replies. With that update, OpenAI said ChatGPT can offer responses that feel more relevant to your interests, habits, and preferences, creating smoother and more helpful interactions.
