Google Makes Gemini Daily Brief Free: Here’s What It Does and How to Turn It On

Google is expanding access to one of Gemini’s useful personal-assistant features. Daily Brief, which was initially offered as part of paid Gemini subscriptions, is now being rolled out to free users with eligible personal Google accounts in the United States.

The feature is designed to bring important information from different Google services together and present it as a personalised daily update.

The feature is therefore intended to work more like an AI-powered personal briefing than a basic list of reminders.

Another useful element is the ability to interact with the information displayed in the brief.
