To get started, see the [Gemini Omni Flash](/docs/models/gemini-omni-flash)
model page and the [omni guide](/docs/omni).

We’re rolling out new controls in temporary chat. You can now choose to personalize responses in a temporary chat with memory, plugins, and custom instructions from your regular chat settings. You can also choose to save a temporary chat.
How it works
Personalized: When you create a temporary chat, you can choose to have personalized responses.  Personalized temporary chats can use your memories, custom instructions, and plugins to tailor responses. They do not create new memories and remain out of your chat history unless you save them. Personalization can be set only when you start a temporary chat and cannot be changed after the conversation begins.Non-personalized:By default, temporary chats are not personalized. Non-personalized temporary chats do not use memory, custom instructions, or plugins, and they do not create new memories.Saving a temporary chat:When a conversation becomes useful for the future, you can add it to your chat history. Saving converts it into a regular chat, so it then follows your account-level personalization settings and model-improvement preferences. For example, if you have memory enabled and save a temporary chat, this will become part of your chat history and can be referenced to personalized future responses.
