Google on Monday expanded Dreambeans, an experimental app that generates illustrated personal stories from a user's Google activity, to India, its first market outside the United States, TechCrunch reported^1,2.

The Android and iOS app now supports 13 local languages, including Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and Bengali, as well as English, according to TechCrunch^1,2.

Dreambeans, introduced in June, pulls information from connected services such as Calendar, Gemini, Gmail, Photos, Search and YouTube to create stories without a prompt¹. Google recently added animation in some stories using its Veo video model, TechCrunch said¹.

The company told reporters it chose India because of interest from Indian users and heavy use of Google services there, with product manager Gozde Oznur citing overlap among Gemini, Gmail and Photos users¹. The India launch comes less than two months after Google opened the app to eligible U.S. users 18 and older¹.

Sensor Tower estimates shared with TechCrunch put U.S. downloads at nearly 55,000 since June, with about 63 percent in September after the U.S. widening and about 5,500 in October, an 84 percent month-over-month drop¹. In the first 30 days after that U.S. opening, Sensor Tower estimated about 29,000 downloads, far below first-month figures it cited for Meta's Muse, ChatGPT, Grok Bot and Claude, TechCrunch noted, while stressing Dreambeans is a story app rather than a general chatbot¹.

Users can pick only one language at a time for generated stories, even if connected services contain multiple languages, Oznur said¹. TechCrunch said that limit may matter in India, where people often mix languages¹.

The app uses Google's Personal Intelligence technology to personalize stories from connected accounts¹. Oznur said users can choose which services to connect, disconnect them, delete Dreambeans data in the app, and that deletions in underlying services are also removed from personalization¹. The app is limited to personal Gmail accounts, not enterprise users, and stories are visible only to the account holder, she said¹.

Oznur said users can ask Dreambeans to avoid subjects, including business-related information, and that the app might surface stories involving people who have died, with similar opt-outs¹. Google is exploring making the app more actionable beyond stories and recommendations, she told reporters¹.
