According to Google Gemini (@GeminiApp), the company has launched a new beta feature that emphasizes privacy in its Personal Intelligence AI, allowing users to selectively connect other Google apps to Gemini. This feature is off by default, giving users granular control over which apps are linked and the ability to disable integration at any time (source: GeminiApp, 2026-01-14). This approach highlights a growing trend in AI where user privacy and data control are prioritized, directly addressing business concerns regarding sensitive data management in enterprise AI deployments. The move opens new business opportunities for privacy-centric AI solutions and could set a standard for secure AI app integration in the industry.
