Google has rolled out a new update for Gemini AI. The platform now allows users to share their personalised AI assistants, known as Gems, with friends, family, or colleagues. The feature works like Google Drive, this means that creators can set permissions to control who can view, use, or edit their AI assistants.
Google Gems helps users build AI assistants tailored to specific tasks through custom instructions. The tech giant also offers pre-designed Gems like learning coaches, brainstorming partners, career guides, writing editors, and coding assistants. The feature was first launched under the Gemini Advanced subscription last year.
Until now, these Google AI assistants were private to their creators. Now, users can freely share Gems with others, making working together simpler. It also lowers the need for many people to create similar AI assistants from scratch. Google Gems can be used to complete everyday tasks, for instance, sharing meal planners, holiday itineraries, or collaborative writing tools.
This new Google Gemini AI update follows the tech giant’s decision earlier in March to expand Gems beyond paid tiers. These were initially limited to Advanced, Business, and Enterprise subscribers, However, with the latest update, Gems are now available to all users in over 150 countries. The update also includes support for file uploads, further improving the capability of shared assistants.

Google is making AI more collaborative and accessible by allowing Gems to be shared in groups. Users can now use personalised AI to save time, streamline workflows, and work together on tasks. Thus, boosting productivity in everyday activities. It is also a step by the tech giant to gain an edge over its rapidly advancing competitors like ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and more. It remains to be seen how the users make the most of it and if Google Gems live up to their hype or not.
