The new feature keeps Gemini ahead of Anthropic, which released its own chat memory function a couple of days ago for its Claude chatbot. Claude’s new memory works the way Gemini’s used to, where you have to specifically ask Claude to reference old chats and apply that knowledge to new conversations.

Google said it’s working to fix a bizarre glitch in which its much-hyped Gemini chatbot enters a depressive mood and whines that it’s a “failure.”

Gemini AI now remembers chat details with Personal Context and offers Temporary Chat and Keep Activity for enhanced user privacy.
