Google Labs is expanding Dreambeans, its personalized-story experiment, to more U.S. users after an initial introduction in June. The mobile rollout covers adults aged 18 and over on Android and iOS.
Dreambeans builds daily collections around a person’s interests and information from Google apps they choose to connect. The September update adds Gemini to a list that includes Calendar, Gmail, Photos, Search and YouTube.
Stories can suggest places to visit, things to watch or upcoming events. With Google Photos connected, they can also incorporate images of the user and people close to them. Google says people choose which apps supply information for these stories.
Users can open a story for more detail, bookmark it, share it and give feedback to influence subsequent suggestions.
