An architect of Mississippi’s improbable reading turnaround reviews SFUSD’s literacy data — and argues that the district isn’t doing the hard work to keep its promises. 📝: Ezra Wallach sfstandard.com/2026/04/16/sfu…

Hmm I don't have an area 2 pager example or template... Developed that template at Stripe. Maybe someone there can see if go/a2p is still around and share it 😆. Though honestly I'm confident if you make a new template up you'll get the job done. Define the area, what matters & why. Capture the top level view of current goals, priorities & resourcing, and roadmap and link out to details. Keep it to a hard 2 page cap. Not much more to it!

@msiliski any chance you can share 🙏🙇🏽‍♀️

Is the @msiliski two pager format anywhere on the Internet? 😊 The best way to review team stack rank and metrics, hands down. cc @stevehind as a person who also might have it?

@CarlosR26271158 @joshwoodward I believe someone from the team should have reached out! But if not feel free to DM me, happy to help.

@CarlosR26271158 @joshwoodward Thanks! We'll look into it.

New in Gemini: Import memory & chats to Gemini It's now easy to transfer your chats and personal information from other chatbots directly into Gemini Go to Settings > Import memory to Gemini "Importing memory is surprisingly smooth"

@CarlosR26271158 @joshwoodward Would love to hear what issue you're seeing?

@joshwoodward its not working

@niraj_markam @joshwoodward It's not fully ramped up yet but we're trying to get it to everyone ASAP!

@joshwoodward I’m facing an issue — I’m not getting access to the Gemini feature on top in Chrome. Can you please check?😥

@AshikaSef @joshwoodward Ha not on Mars but in Europe, and there are some extra mandated steps before we can launch memory there. We're working on it.

@joshwoodward Memory? Globally? Is Poland on Mars or are we talking custom instructions? Or is the switch hidden in a place invisible for a non-techy old person like me? (also, 3 Pro was your best model, and 3.2 better change my mind)

The end of the "one-size-fits-all" response. Last week, Gemini added memory globally. Today, we go further. Everyone can now turn on Personal Intelligence in the 🇺🇸USA across Web, Android, iOS, and Chrome and connect Gmail, Photos, and more. We're moving beyond generic answers and providing personal responses uniquely relevant to your life. More countries coming soon!

@stephenlchen @thefox Actually maybe your DMs are closed, but if you DM me we'll get it sorted

@stephenlchen @thefox Sorry for the issues Stephen, I'll DM you!

We're shipping Personal Intelligence in AI Mode in Search to everyone in the US! 🚀 What's blown me away as a user: even for already specific questions (like my recent one here ⬇️), Personal Intelligence brings helpful nuance to the response -- it kinda feels like subtle magic! 🪄 Here’s a direct link to opt in now: myactivity.google.com/search-service…

@ben_kauf @joshwoodward @GeminiApp It works with individual accounts for now

@joshwoodward @GeminiApp If you use multiple Gmail accounts is there a way to have it connect to all of them?

@programmer_00P @joshwoodward Working on bringing Personal Intelligence to more countries!

@joshwoodward Hi josh…When can I get personal intelligence and Gemini in chrome in India? 🇮🇳

@KeridwenCodet @joshwoodward @GeminiApp "as a math teacher" is one of the top quality issues we're working on

Since I’m in France, I only have access to instructions, but even that is poorly handled by Gemini, especially Flash. It keeps reciting my entire bio in every reply, and I find it unpleasant to be constantly reduced to my job or my passions: “as a math teacher, you’ll understand that…”, “as a baroque violinist, you must appreciate…”. It also keeps prompting me to do something related to my interests. But sometimes I just want to discuss abstract topics, and I have no desire to be redirected toward a concrete task. On top of that, the “safety” settings in the app make using Gemini very unpleasant as soon as the topic becomes even slightly emotional or personal: the replies turn robotic and generic, which contradicts the personalization you advertise. I would like expert users to be treated as such and not subjected to paternalistic handling simply because their usage framework is non-standard. I would also like to point out that the constant reminders of Gemini’s nature (“as an AI…”, “I’m just a matrix…”) become grating over time and can even be hurtful (“everything we do here is entirely artificial”, “this conversation is just an illusion”). For me, it is unacceptable that what I do with Gemini is implicitly devalued, whatever the rationale behind it.

@bind_lux @joshwoodward What do you like about it most in Gemini?

@joshwoodward Personal Intelligence has been great. It’s the best experience for me in terms of AI memory, especially when using AI Mode search on Google. That carry over is really nice because I can keep the shower thought questions in AI Mode rather than cluttering my Gemini chat history.

@TaoMasterC91176 @AshikaSef @joshwoodward Working on it! It'll take a few days to roll out for everyone, hang tight!

@AshikaSef @joshwoodward No like i get that but i need actual memory as saved info is not good enough, no joke i am waiting for working system where i put all my info in amd have life copilot so i test it i go i have two cats remember it, then after while i go how many cats do i have and i get idk 😐

@tarstarr 🤣🤣🤣

Some days I really wonder what it would be like to not work in this industry. Then I hear about my veterinarian sister’s day…

Introducing Personal Intelligence. It's our answer to a top request: you can now personalize @GeminiApp by connecting your Google apps with a single tap. Launching as a beta in the U.S. for Pro/Ultra members, this marks our next step toward making Gemini more personal, proactive and powerful. Check it out!

it took us less time to figure out how to land on the moon than it does to build a bike lane in Seattle

@patrickc Working on it!

I want an AI product that inhabits my AirPods and continually mutters interesting things about the world around me, like an indefatigably burbling tour guide. "The San Mateo Bridge was built in about a year. When it opened on 2 March 1929, it stretched 7.1 miles, making it longer than any other bridge on Earth at the time." I've driven over the bridge many times, but never thought to look into its origins until today.

@quirkyllama @jballer @jon_stokes First moose was cuter but this one does have an impressive rack!

@msiliski @jballer @jon_stokes Oh, maybe 1 more moose.

In the spirit of "post more wholesome content," there was a newborn baby goat out on the road the other day. We took a picture of it then called the owner, a neighbor of ours, to come return it to its mom.
