How to Personalize

In the Rivian mobile app version 3.12 or later, you can personalize your Rivian Assistant experience through Rivian Intelligence. Go to Account > Rivian Intelligence to turn on these features:

• Google Calendar: Connect your calendar so you can create, re-schedule, or navigate to events using Rivian Assistant.
• Memory: Rivian Assistant learns your preferences over time, such as favorite music genres, restaurants, and regular destinations, including work or school drop-off locations. You can turn off Memory or delete the stored details at any time.

Notes:

• The mobile app saves the Rivian Intelligence settings to your driver profile and applies them to any Rivian vehicle you drive.
• Rivian Assistant is available on vehicles that are actively subscribed to Connect+ or are in a trial period.
• Rivian Assistant is only available in English.
• Google Calendar and Memory are turned off by default. Opt in to use these features.
• When you turn on Rivian Assistant, your vehicle automatically turns off Alexa and all Alexa integrations.

Secure Your Profile

The Profile authentication feature helps secure your profile with a four- to six-digit PIN (Personal Identification Number), so only you or your key can unlock your driver profile and personalized settings on any Rivian vehicle you drive. To set this up, go to Profile > Account > Security > Profile PIN in the Rivian mobile app version 3.12 or later.

• Gen 2: Your digital or phone key can unlock your profile.
• Gen 1: Your phone key can unlock your profile.

Note: If the Profile authentication feature is turned on, the following apply:

• Gen 2: The vehicle authenticates you and your profile only if it detects a digital or phone key. If it doesn't detect a key, the center display prompts you to enter a PIN.
• Gen 1: The vehicle authenticates you and your profile only if it detects a phone key. If it doesn't detect a key, the center display prompts you to enter a PIN.
• The Profile PIN applies to all Rivian vehicles that you own or drive.
• When the profile is locked, you have limited access to vehicle features until you authenticate.
