Gemini Gems: How to Make Your Own Custom Gemini AI Chatbot

After teasingcustom AI chatbotscalled Gemini Gems at Google I/O 2024, the search giant has now finally released it. Gems are basically custom chatbots that you can build and refine for different roles like fitness guide, coding assistant, translator, etc. It’s similar tocustom GPTsavailable on ChatGPT.

Thefeature is not free, though. You need aGemini Advanced subscriptionthat costs $20 per month to be able to create and use custom Gems. Google has already created a few custom Gems such asBrainstormerto find fresh ideas,Career Guideto help you with career goals,Coding Partnerfor coding assistance,Learning Coachto practice new concepts, andWriting Editorto improve your writing.

If these Gems don’t match your requirements, you can create one just for yourself. Having said that, there is a limitation. Gemini Gemsonly lets you add custom instructions. There is no option to upload files, which would have added extra knowledge outside the LLM’s training data and made Gems more personal and specific to your use case.

OpenAI’s custom GPTs let you upload files and use the knowledge from your personal files to answer queries. Nevertheless, if you are interested in creating custom Gems on Gemini, here are the steps to follow.

How to Create a Custom Gemini AI Chatbot

Make sure you have subscribed to Gemini Advanced. Gems is a premium feature, available only to paid users.

So that is how you can create a custom Gem on Gemini. I like the idea of personalized chatbots, but it would have been more helpful if Google allowed users to add extra knowledge through file uploads. Anyway, that is all from us. If you have any questions, let us know in the comments below.
