Google Gemini Launches Gems for Creating Custom Chatbots

Google has announced the rollout of “Gems,” customizable chatbots designed for subscribers of the Advanced, Business, and Enterprise versions of Gemini. These bots can be tailored to specific tasks, such as providing support for coding projects or offering career guidance.

Gems were first introduced at the Google I/O event in May of this year, and they are now becoming available to users in over 150 countries.

Gems, customizable chatbots from Gemini

Google’s new “Gems” feature allows subscribers to create personalized versions of the Gemini chatbot, tailoring it to their specific needs. Users can set up instructions and give their Gem a name, making it easily accessible whenever needed.

For those who prefer ready-made options, Google offers pre-configured Gems, including:

• Learning Coach: Helps users understand complex topics.
• Brainstormer: Aids in generating ideas.
• Career Guide: Assists in planning career paths and skill development.
• Coding Partner: Supports programming projects.
• Writing Editor: Provides feedback on grammar and text structure.

Creating a Gem is simple: users describe the kind of expert they need, and Gemini adjusts its responses according to those instructions. These custom settings are saved, so there’s no need to repeat commands in future interactions.

This move comes shortly after OpenAI introduced a similar feature, allowing users to customize chatbots with GPTs for specific tasks. This trend reflects a growing interest in providing more tailored and flexible AI tools.
