MAIN COURSE

Craft your own Google chatbots 🛠️ 🤖

On Wednesday, Google launched Gems. It allows you to create custom Gemini chatbots (like OpenAI’s GPTs).

What's the big deal?

Gems lets you tailor AI chatbots for specific tasks or topics.

Who can use it?

Gemini Advanced, Business, and Enterprise users in over 150 countries.

What can you do with it?

  • Create AI experts for anything from gardening to coding.

  • Use premade Gems for quick starts.

  • Generate images with the new Imagen 3 integration.

Is Google late to the party?

Yep. OpenAI, Microsoft, and Meta already offer similar customization tools.

Any catches?

Image generation of people is limited and comes with strict safeguards.
