Google AI Updates: March 29, 2026

1. Personal Intelligence Now Free for All US Gemini Users

Google made Personal Intelligence free for all Gemini users in the United States, removing the paywall from a feature that connects across Gmail, Photos, and YouTube to help with planning and personalized recommendations. Previously restricted to paid subscribers, the expansion signals Google’s strategy to deepen Gemini’s integration across its ecosystem by letting the assistant access and reason over users’ existing data.

2. Gemini Now Imports Chat History from Competing AI Providers

Google added the ability to transfer AI memories and chat history from other providers into Gemini in just a few clicks, allowing the assistant to quickly pick up context and conversations from competing platforms. The feature lowers the switching cost for users invested in other AI assistants and positions Gemini as a drop-in replacement that can inherit prior context rather than starting from scratch. Source

3. Lyria 3 Pro Enables 3-Minute AI Music Generation

Google released Lyria 3 Pro, enabling Gemini Ultra subscribers to compose music tracks up to 3 minutes long, turning photos or text prompts into high-fidelity songs with lyrics. The model represents a significant step in generative audio, tripling the maximum track length of prior Lyria versions and expanding creative tooling available within the Gemini app. Source

4. Gemini Arrives on Google TV with Visual Answers

Google brought Gemini-powered visual answers and narrated deep dives to Google TV, rolling out initially in the United States and Canada with plans to expand to Australia, New Zealand, and Great Britain this spring. The integration allows viewers to ask questions about what they’re watching and receive AI-generated visual explanations, extending Gemini’s reach beyond mobile and desktop into the living room.
