Welcome to the October 2026 release updates for Smart Persona! This update introduces three improvements that directly enhance your experience: web page and document processing, smarter long conversations, and agentic access from your AI tools.
Smart Persona New Features & Improvements
Three improvements that directly affect your experience.
01 / AVAILABLE NOW
Web pages & documents
Share a link or a PDF and personas react to its content and its look.
02 / AVAILABLE NOW
Smarter long conversations
Long chats stay coherent, with earlier details carried forward automatically.
03 / AVAILABLE NOW
Agentic access
Ask your personas from Gemini Enterprise, Claude and your other AI tools.
New Feature
Web Page Processing
Paste a web link into a conversation and Smart Persona reads the page for you: both its text and how it looks. Personas can then react to the actual content and design.
Richer Context
Personas respond to actual page content.
Visual Feedback
Personas can also comment on images, colours and the composition of the page.
Stays Fast
Pages are processed remotely by Smart Persona, so the app stays responsive.
Already enabled on your instance. Paste a link into your next persona conversation to try it.
New Feature
Document Processing
Just like links, add a document to a conversation and Smart Persona reads it for you. Personas can then react to your actual material. PDF files are supported today.
Richer Context
Personas respond to what your document actually says.
Your Own Material
Share briefs, concepts or reports as they are.
PDF Support
PDF is the supported document format for now.
Already enabled on your instance. Attach a PDF to your next persona conversation to try it.
Improvement
Smarter Long Conversations
Long chats could lose track of earlier details. Smart Persona now keeps a rolling summary, so personas stay coherent from the first message to the last.
01
Only When Needed
Short chats are unchanged. Summarisation starts on long conversations, after around 40 messages.
02
Keeps the Thread
Key points from earlier in the chat are carried forward in the conversation context.
03
Nothing to Set Up
Works automatically behind the scenes; the interface stays the same. Already enabled on your instance.

New Feature
Agentic Access
With the agentic access we are releasing, your personas answer right where your teams work, starting with Gemini Enterprise.
Live from Gemini Enterprise
The question is asked in the tool, in plain language.
The agent calls Smart Persona and asks the right persona.
Friction points come back structured, with suggested actions.
Nobody switched screens, and the conversation stays available in Smart Persona.

What agentic access changes
Where Your Teams Work
Teams ask their personas without leaving Gemini Enterprise, and agents built there can do it on their own.
One or Many Personas
One question goes to several personas at once. Each answers from its own point of view.
One Conversation
What an agent asks becomes a real Smart Persona session that a person can reopen and continue.
WHERE IT HELPS
Brainstorming
Test an angle while the copy is being written.
Review
Surface a segment’s objections before production.
Your Agents
Persona checks run as an automatic workflow step.
What Your Tools Can Ask For
Five capabilities at launch, with more coming in the months ahead.
