How to make Gemini remember you
Instructions for Gemini (formerly "Saved info")
Requires a personal Google Account (not work, school or supervised). No paid plan needed.
- Web: Menu, Settings & help, Personal Intelligence, Instructions for Gemini. Mobile: Menu, your profile picture, Personal Intelligence, Instructions for Gemini. Some regions still say "Saved info."
- Tap Add + and enter key facts as separate short entries.
- Tap Submit. Gemini applies them to every chat.
These instructions don't apply inside Gems or skills, so add your context there separately.
Gems and skills
Google is replacing Gems with skills, which began rolling out on October 13, 2026. Starting November 17, 2026, Gems move to the Settings panel. Existing Gems keep working for now.
- On gemini.google.com, open Gems and click New Gem.
- Name it, e.g. "My Assistant."
- Paste your full context file into the instructions; optionally upload it under Knowledge.
- Save and chat with it.
