Create your own AI assistant with Google’s new Gems

Create your own AI chatbot with Googleโ€™s new Gems, available to Gemini subscribers. Personalise your assistant for any task, from cooking to coding.

You will soon be able to create your AI chatbot with Googleโ€™s new feature for Gemini subscribers. Known as Gems, these chatbots can serve as a gym buddy, cooking partner, writing editor, and more. With simple instructions, you can give your chatbot a unique personality and skill set tailored to your needs.

Introducing Gems: Your personalised AI companion

Google first revealed Gems during its I/O event in May, and they are designed to make your daily tasks more accessible and engaging. For example, you might create a Gem that is “knowledgeable, casual, and friendly” to help you plan a low- or no-water garden. If you prefer, several ready-made Gems are available, including a learning coach to guide your studies, an idea brainstormer to spark creativity, a career guide for professional advice, a coding partner to help with programming, and an editor to refine your writing.

Creating your own Gem is straightforward. You describe what you want it to do, and the AI takes care of the rest. This makes it a fun and flexible way to get the most out of your AI assistant.

How you can access Gems

Gems on mobile and desktop platforms will be available to Gemini Advanced, Gemini Business, and Gemini Enterprise users. You can access this exciting new feature in over 150 countries, supporting “most” languages. This broad availability means you can use Gems wherever you are, in the language you are most comfortable with.

The rollout of Gems is part of Google’s efforts to offer more customised and interactive AI experiences. By allowing you to create a chatbot that matches your specific requirements, Google aims to provide an AI experience that feels more personal and useful.

Catching up with the competition

Googleโ€™s launch of Gems is likely a response to its competitors. OpenAI, for instance, has already enabled its users to create their own custom chatbots months ago. OpenAI takes this idea further by allowing users to share their custom GPTs through its store, fostering a community where unique chatbots can be created and exchanged.

With Gems, Google is stepping up to meet the growing demand for personalised AI tools, giving you more control over how you interact with your digital assistant. It will be interesting to see how this new feature shapes the future of AI and how you might use it to make your daily life a little easier.
