The more you talk to an AI chatbot, the more it learns about you. Google has been putting that knowledge to work in Gemini, allowing it to recall details from past conversations to deliver more personal responses. But while Gemini has been busy getting to know you, keeping tabs on what it’s learned hasn’t been nearly as easy. Google’s latest addition aims to change that.
A new feature called Memory summary is rolling out to Gemini users in the US, giving them a clearer picture of what the chatbot remembers about them, with controls to correct or erase anything it gets wrong.
Rather than presenting everything as a long list of disconnected facts, Memory summary sorts personal details into categories covering your background, relationships, work, interests, and preferences. You can edit these details directly, remove information you’d rather Gemini forget, or check the history of changes to your memory.
To find it, open Gemini and head to Settings > Personal Intelligence > Memory summary. This puts the information Gemini has gathered about you within easy reach, instead of making you dig through old conversations.
There’s a catch, though. Google’s support page says the feature is currently limited to US users aged 18 and older with an active Google AI subscription. It also requires English, Keep Activity, and Memory to be enabled.
Our testing, however, tells a slightly different story. We found Memory summary working on Gemini’s desktop website with a free account outside the US, without using a VPN. The feature displayed remembered details and offered controls to manage them.
That unexpected access didn’t extend to the Gemini mobile app, where Memory summary was missing despite running the latest version. Fortunately, the browser offers another route.
Opening gemini.google.com on a phone and navigating to Menu > Settings > Personal Intelligence > Memory summary worked in our testing, effectively sidestepping the app’s apparent limitation.
Whether Google intended this broader access remains unclear. But for a chatbot that’s becoming increasingly personal, Memory summary offers something equally important: a chance to see what Gemini thinks it knows about you, and set the record straight.
