Google has officially entered the era of Personal Intelligence with a new beta rollout for its Gemini app. This update represents a foundational shift from a generic chatbot to an assistant that truly "speaks fluent you." By securely linking your personal context from Gmail, Photos, Search, and YouTube, Gemini can now cross-reference your history to provide one-of-a-kind answers.

Whether you are hunting for a specific tire size mentioned in an old email or trying to replicate a vacation vibe from five years ago, the new engine retrieves and reasons across your own data to find the needle in the digital haystack.

Transparency is the backbone of this new personal era. Personal Intelligence is entirely optional and off by default, giving users granular control over which Google apps are connected. You can manage your "Connected Apps" settings at any time, deciding exactly how much of your world you want Gemini to see.

Google has also built in safeguards to ensure transparency: Gemini will attempt to reference the specific email or photo it used to formulate an answer, allowing you to verify the information. This beta is currently available for AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the U.S. across web, Android, and iOS.

The power of this feature lies in its ability to synthesize disparate details into cohesive plans. Instead of generic restaurant lists, Gemini can build travel itineraries based on your hotel reservations, flight times, and the aspirational spots you’ve saved in Search.

It can even help with big purchases by researching products that fit your specific needs and past preferences. By remembering your hobbies and life goals, the AI offers suggestions that feel more like advice from a close friend than a search engine result. It is a bold step toward AI that doesn't just process information but understands your personal narrative.

The long-standing legal and, sometimes personal battle between Elon Musk and OpenAI is officially moving to a jury trial scheduled for late March 2026. This week, a federal judge rejected OpenAI’s motion to dismiss the case, ruling that there is at least enough evidence suggesting OpenAI leaders made assurances that the organization would remain a nonprofit. So, the next step is to let a jury decide the truth.

Musk, who provided roughly $38 million in early funding, claims the shift to a "capped-profit" model and the multibillion-dollar deal with Microsoft constitute a breach of contract and a betrayal of the organization’s founding mission to benefit humanity.

At the heart of the lawsuit is the founding agreement that Musk insists existed back in 2015. He contends that his financial support was predicated on the understanding that OpenAI would develop AGI for public benefit, unencumbered by shareholder interests. OpenAI, Sam Altman, and Greg Brockman have denied these claims, labeling Musk a frustrated commercial competitor seeking to hamper a market leader.

The judge’s decision to let a jury weigh the evidence means internal OpenAI documents and communications will likely be scrutinized in open court, potentially revealing sensitive details about the company's evolution and its relationship with Microsoft.

If the jury finds in favor of Musk, the consequences could be catastrophic for OpenAI's current valuation. Musk is seeking unspecified ill-gotten gains, but a ruling could theoretically impact how AI companies transition from nonprofits to commercial giants. Beyond the finances, the trial could force OpenAI to open-source more of its technology, a key demand of Musk’s initial suit.

With Musk’s own xAI currently valued at over $230 billion, this trial is as much about market dominance as it is about legal ethics. The outcome will likely set a major precedent for how the biggest names in tech manage the tension between altruistic goals and massive profits.

Here’s what to do (check out the video above if you get stuck):

1️⃣ Identify the repetitive task: Pick one small chore that takes up 10 minutes of your day. For example : summarizing a specific weekly newsletter or drafting a generic reply to "is this still available" marketplace inquiries.

2️⃣ Set the trigger: Use your no-code tool to create a trigger. If you're summarizing an email, set it to : "New Email matching search."

3️⃣ Connect the AI brain: Add a step to send that content to an AI model like ChatGPT or Claude. Give it a simple prompt : "Extract the three most important points from this text."

4️⃣ Define the action: Tell the tool where to send the output. You can have the summary sent to your Slack, your notes app, or even back to your email as a draft.

5️⃣ Turn it on: Watch your agent handle its first task. Once you see the magic of a "digital employee" working for you, you'll never go back to manual chores!

From highly personal AI to legal battles deciding the fate of the world’s most popular AI company, the stories surrounding AI never cease to amaze. See you next time! 🚀
