Introduction
Google’s Gemini AI chatbot is on the verge of a transformational upgrade. According to a top executive, the Gemini app will soon offer enhanced personalisation through memory, contextual understanding from across your Google account, and proactive agent-like capabilities. Additionally, a premium “Gemini Ultra” subscription plan may soon launch to unlock higher usage limits and advanced features. All of this is expected to be unveiled at Google I/O 2025.
Gemini to Remember Past Conversations
Josh Woodward, VP of Google Labs and Gemini, recently announced that the chatbot will soon retain memory of prior interactions. This would eliminate the need for users to repeat prompts in new sessions and align Gemini with recent memory features introduced in ChatGPT. Memory will likely be opt-in and securely tied to the user’s Google account.
Personalised Context (pcontext) Integration Coming
Gemini will go a step further with a feature internally dubbed “pcontext,” which allows the AI to draw insights from apps like Gmail, Photos, Calendar, Search, and YouTube — all with user permission. This will allow Gemini to personalise responses and offer suggestions based on your digital habits, appointments, emails, and more.
Proactive and Agentic AI Features
Beyond passive chat interactions, Gemini is expected to gain agentic abilities — enabling it to take initiative, suggest actions, and help users execute plans based on past conversations or contextual cues. This aligns with Google’s push for AI that is “personal, proactive, and powerful.” These tools may resemble DeepMind’s Deep Research functionality.
Gemini Ultra: A New Premium Subscription Tier
In a leak reported by TestingCatalog, Google appears to be working on a new Gemini Ultra plan. Code from the web version of Gemini suggests the Ultra tier will offer:
- Increased rate limits for AI usage
- Access to more advanced code and image generation tools
- Exclusive agentic AI features
The new subscription model could mirror OpenAI’s ChatGPT Plus or Claude Pro offerings and is expected to be detailed at Google I/O 2025.
Gemini to Integrate With Siri on iOS?
Another intriguing rumor points to potential iOS integration. iPhone users may soon be able to enhance Siri with Gemini, possibly through direct model selection in system settings. If confirmed, this would mark a new phase in Gemini’s cross-platform capabilities.
Users Can Now Edit Images in the Gemini App
As part of ongoing improvements, Google recently added image editing tools directly within the Gemini app. This complements its growing suite of multimodal features and prepares the app for more creative and productivity-driven use cases.
Conclusion
Google is positioning Gemini not just as a chatbot, but as a true digital assistant powered by deep integration, memory, and proactive intelligence. With features like pcontext, memory, agentic AI, and a possible Ultra subscription tier, Gemini is entering a new era. All eyes now turn to Google I/O 2025, where these major updates are expected to be formally announced.
