Introduction
Imagine having your very own AI assistant, customized just for you. An assistant that not only understands your needs but also adapts to your personal style, profession, or daily tasks. With Gems in Gemini, this is now possible.
What are Gems in Gemini?
A Gem is a custom, personalized version of Gemini that you create for a specific task or purpose. Think of it as training Gemini to become an expert in something you need.
For example:
- A Gem that acts as your personal Yoga Guru.
- A Gem that writes social media posts in your company’s unique style.
- A Gem that creates healthy recipes based on the ingredients you have.
You can give it a specific role, personality, and set of instructions to build your own personal AI assistant.
