Google has singled out such "advisors on various issues" into a separate cluster of conversational chatbots and named them Gems.
Gems are customized versions of Gemini that help with repetitive tasks or gaining in-depth knowledge in new areas. Since its launch in August 2024, Gems have been the most requested feature of Gemini Advanced (a paid Gemini package until March 2025). Users have turned Gems into translators, prompters, math tutors, and copywriters.
Gems' strengths
- Gems only give advice when asked (you must admit, this is a big advantage over a person who often cannot resist an intrusive "service").
- It not only gives advice, but can also implement it for you. At least show how the advice works or looks in a specific case.
- If the advice leads to success, Gems will never reproach you for being indebted to it :).
Weaknesses of Gems
- The main disadvantage of Gems' advice is that it can be trivial, stupid, and even false. But it learns, and very quickly, therefore, it becomes "smarter" every minute.
It's up to you to decide whether to use it or not. But I will say that communicating with Gems is fascinating.
So I'll continue. Having collected user experience, Google has developed a collection of Gem bots focused on solving typical problems.
Today, the collection included in almost all Google Workspace packages consists of 9 Gems.
