Google Replaces Gemini Gems With Skills, Promising Data Migration

Google is ending a Gemini feature called Gems.

Gems let people save special instructions for reusable custom assistants.

Google says those saved instructions will be moved into a new system called Skills.

The migration is scheduled to begin on November 17.

Users will not need to rebuild their Gems manually.

Google says custom prompts, rules, and attached reference files will be converted.

Skills can use more tools and complete several steps in a workflow.

People can create Skills by describing them, filling out a form, or uploading files.

Multiple Skills can also be used together in one chat.
