On March 17th, Google announced Personal Intelligence was hitting AI Mode for all US users who opt in. Prior to this you had to have a Google AI Pro and Ultra account to access the functionality.
Well, the rest of the world feels left behind. As usual.
Chu Zhen asked Google’s Nick Fox if Google “forgot” about “paid subscribers” who do not live in the US (or I guess who don’t want to spring for a VPN either).
Did Google forget about the PAID subscribers outside of US?

Nick replied back saying, “working on it, stay tuned.”
working on it, stay tuned!

I assume the “working on it” part refers to a more global release for paid users (as opposed to “working on it” meaning working on not forgetting users beyond the US).
I think it’s safe to assume that this was Google’s intention all along. Very often, a feature gets a release in the US before Google releases it to additional markets. Meaning Personal Intelligence in AI Mode is coming… at some point.
Stay tuned for forum discussion, working on it.
