Google will let you create personalized AI chatbots

Google is adding a number of new features to its Gemini AI, and one of the most powerful is a customization option called “Gems” that lets users create personalized versions of the Gemini assistant with different personalities.

Gems lets you create iterations of chatbots that can help you with certain tasks and retain specific traits, much like creating your own bot in Character.AI, the service that lets you talk to virtualized versions of characters and celebrities popular or even to a fake psychiatrist. . Google says you can make Gemini your gym buddy, your sous chef, your coding partner, your creative writing guide, or whatever you can imagine. Gems is similar to OpenAI’s GPT Store which allows you to create custom ChatGPT chatbots.

You can create a gem by telling Gemini what to do and how to respond. For example, you can tell him to be your running coach, provide you with a daily running schedule, and appear upbeat and motivating. Then, with one click, Gemini will create a gem for you as you described. The Gems feature is available “soon” for Gemini Advanced subscribers.
