Gemini app expands Google Maps Personal Intelligence, replacing Deep Think

Gemini app's Personal Intelligence feature is expanding its integration with Google Maps, replacing the Deep Think mode. This new feature utilizes various data sources like emails, documents, photos, and videos to generate customized responses without requiring specific input from users. Since its launch, Personal Intelligence has allowed Gemini to access Search, Maps, Shopping, News, and Google Flights and Hotels.

The latest update enables the integration of Google Maps with searches and saved places, providing tailored recommendations based on a user's schedule and preferences. For instance, if a user has a list of restaurants they'd like to try, Personal Intelligence can check their last meeting location and suggest nearby dining options.

Users can enable Personal Intelligence through the gemini.google.com/personalization-settings page. Additionally, Google has announced that Gemini 4 Argon will replace Deep Think soon for AI Ultra subscribers, allowing them to opt for "Switch to Argon when you need deeper reasoning." Currently, Gemini 3.1 Pro offers a "Deep Think" thinking level above the High, Medium, and Low options, with the last update to this specialized reasoning mode occurring in February.

The exact reason for Deep Think's potential removal is unclear from the brief notice provided by Google.
