Google Gemini Now Lets You Share Custom 'Gems'.

Google is giving its Gemini AI a major collaboration boost by introducing a highly anticipated feature: the ability to share custom "Gems." This update transforms Gems from a personal productivity tool into a powerful asset for teams and communities, allowing users to easily share their finely-tuned AI prompts and workflows.

What are Google Gemini Gems?

Google Gemini Gems are a feature that allows you to create your own custom AI expert. Instead of starting from scratch with a new prompt every time, you can give a Gem a specific set of instructions and a persona. This Gem will then remember these details, providing consistent, tailored responses for any task you ask.

The purpose of Gems is to streamline your workflow and save time. For example, you can create a Gem to act as a "creative writer" with a specific style, or a "meeting summarizer" that always focuses on action items. You can reuse the Gem repeatedly for your specific needs by saving these instructions once.

Gems are not just for personal use. They can also be shared with other Gemini users, making them a powerful tool for collaboration. You can share your custom-built Gems with colleagues or friends, allowing a whole team to work with the same personalized AI assistant.

Share Your Custom Gems With Others Like a File.

The new sharing functionality is designed to be intuitive and familiar to anyone who uses Google Workspace products like Docs or Sheets. A user can now hit the Share icon in their Gem manager, add other users by name or group, and set permissions to either view or edit the Gem. There's also an option to generate a shareable link, making it simple to distribute a Gem across a team or an online community.

Here is a step-by-step guide to share Gemini Gems:

1. Open your Gem Manager: Go to the Gemini web app and open your Gem Manager. You can usually find this in the side panel or menu.

2. Find the Share Button: Look for the "Share" button next to the Gem you want to share. This button is typically located next to the edit icon.

3. Choose your sharing method: A pop-up will appear, similar to sharing a Google Doc. You can either enter the email addresses of the people you want to share with or copy a public link.

4. Set Permissions: You can control whether the recipient can simply view the Gem or has permission to edit its instructions.

Note: Once you share the Gem, it will be stored in a new "Gemini Gems" folder in your Google Drive, and its permissions will be protected by Drive's sharing settings.

This update positions Gemini with a clear advantage over some competitors, as it directly addresses a key need for professional and team-based work. By enabling easy, Google Docs-style collaboration on AI workflows, Google is making it easier for users to standardize tasks, share best practices, and work together on projects that leverage AI.

This enhanced shareability not only improves Gemini's utility for enterprise users but also empowers individuals to share their creativity and expertise with a wider audience, fostering a more connected and collaborative AI ecosystem.
