Thanks to its intuitive interface, integration with Google Workspace, and useful features like Live Voice Mode, Gemini has become the AI-powered chatbot for many users. The launch of Gems – Gemini’s personalized chatbots – makes it even more appealing.
What are the Gemini Gemini and how to access them
If you used custom GPT via OpenAI’s GPT StoreGemini of Gemini will feel familiar. These custom chatbots are great for repetitive requests that require answers that delve into specific concepts.
For now, this feature can only be accessed if you are a Gemini Advanced, Business, or Enterprise subscriber. If you are a single user, Gemini Advanced, which rivals ChatGPT Plusis the best choice. After you are logged in, select the icon in the left pane that reads Gem Manager. On your screen now, you’ll see a number of Premade Gems. Select any Gem listed to get started.
Testing Google Premade Gemini Gems
Google offers several premade gems, including Chess champion, Brainstormer, Career guide, Coding partner, Learning coachand Writing editor. Each AI assistant is created to serve a different need, so you can expect a different experience with each chatbot. Here are the ones I tried:
1. Brainstorming
The Brainstormer Gem is especially great if you’re looking for new ideas or a fresh perspective. Whether you need party ideas, tips for decorating a space or suggestions for an upcoming party, this Gem can provide helpful advice. I didn’t think this Gem was that different from the usual Gemini chatbot, but the suggestions were practical, and I appreciated how it seemed to delve into the topic for more details and context.
2. Career guidance
I almost dropped this Gem, assuming it was meant to brainstorm possible career paths for recent graduates. However, it is really very versatile and can also help you prepare for interviews and ask for raises or promotions.
3. Learn to coach
Whether you’re in school or reviewing topics you’ve studied in the past, this Gem can help you achieve your learning goals. You can explore new topics, ask for summaries or full explanations of different concepts, or even just use the chatbot instead of Google Search.
4. Writing editor
If you use grammar app to improve your language skillsthis gem is worth checking out. You can edit your article for a specific style guide, correct grammatical errors, improve sentences or general flow and style, and more. The best part is that you get constructive feedback and you can use these suggestions to refine your writing skills over time.
You can also create custom gems
While these pre-made gems are a great starting point, you can also create your own gems. To do this, go to the Gem Manager page and select + New Gem. Give your Gem a name and enter any instructions you may have.
These instructions should ideally list the main objectives and capabilities of the Gem and the response style you want. You can also add files you want your Gem to reference before sharing answers. You can now send your requests to see the appropriate responses of your Gem. Save your Gem so you can revisit it in the future.
Tips to optimize the output of your Gemini Gemini
You can get as creative as you want with your Gems. However, if the answers are not enough to meet your expectations, consider refining your requests or asking follow-up questions to generate more detailed answers. In the case of custom Gems, updating the instructions and uploaded documents can help improve the accuracy and relevance of the chatbot.
I like to experiment with different Gemini Geminis and I can see myself using them often going forward.
