Google Pushes AI Mode Users To Opt In To Personal Intelligence
Google has begun showing pop-up notifications inside AI Mode that prompt searchers to switch on Personal Intelligence. The prompt reads "Supercharge Search with Personal Intelligence" and carries a blue continue button that takes users into the setup flow.
The feature links more of a user's Google apps to Search so that results can be tailored to them, and it also switches on connected apps within AI Mode. Google's own copy stresses that people stay in control and can change the setting at any time, and that AI Mode can be used without connecting apps.
Sachin Patel spotted the prompt and wrote that it appears intended to get users to connect more Google apps to Search for more personalised results. The push matters for brands because personalisation changes which sources surface in AI answers, so visibility may depend on context as much as on ranking.
