What happened
Google is introducing a new way to customize the Discover feed in its app, letting users describe what they want to see rather than manually adjusting settings.
The feature is set to roll out in the coming days and will appear in the three-dot menu, where users can tell the AI what kind of content they prefer.
The AI will automatically modify the feed and retain those preferences for future visits.
Why it matters
This shifts Discover from a passive, algorithm-driven feed to an interactive experience where users can nudge the algorithm with natural language, potentially making it more relevant.
The memory aspect indicates Google is building a more persistent personalization layer, which could raise privacy considerations as the AI tracks stated preferences over time.
