Now You Can Share Your Custom Gemini AI Assistants (Or ‘Gems’), With Friends!

Google makes it possible to share personal AI trainers. Google says its users can now create and share personal AI bots. The release, first revealed in September 2025, represents a major evolution for how users extend and work with AI tools to ensure maximum customization using plug-and-play AI, custom-tailored for specific jobs and workflows.

What Are Gemini Gems?

Gems are custom AI assistants that users can build to take care of tasks, provide advice, or offer expertise in certain subjects. Whether it’s a career coach, the perfect meal-planning buddy, or a coding assistant, Gems let you make AI agents that:

• Understand context
• Remember instructions
• Provide consistent support over time

Powered by Gemini’s state-of-the-art AI models, these assistants can understand complex commands and respond in a nuanced form.

The best part is that customization is user-friendly, requiring no coding knowledge. Users can:

• Specify the role of the assistant
• Attach relevant files so it has context to work with
• Include prompts to guide expected behavior

This makes Gems widely usable for personal productivity and team collaboration.

“Somebody Done Share My Gems Before” – A New Age of Collaboration

Previously, Gems were confined to the creator’s account and had very limited use beyond the original contributor. However, the new sharing feature allows users to share their custom assistants with others—much like sharing a document. This feature enables recipients to:

• See the Gem
• Clone the Gem
• Edit the Gem (depending on permissions set by the creator)

How to Share a Gem

1. Access the Gem manager
2. Click on the desired Gem
3. Select “Share”
4. Generate a share link and assign permissions to the recipient

This seamless sharing ensures that teams, families, or communities can fully benefit from AI assistants shared according to their needs.

Use Cases for Shared Gems

The addition of shareable Gems creates numerous opportunities for both personal and professional use:

• Team Collaboration: Teams can build Gems that house best practices, standard operating procedures (SOPs), or institutional knowledge, ensuring consistency and efficiency across projects.
• Educational Aid: Teachers can create Gems to help students with different subjects or tasks, offering individualized guidance and resources.
• Personal Productivity: Individuals can send Gems that assist in routines such as budgeting, planning workouts, or managing time, to friends and family.
• Business Applications: Small businesses can develop Gems to automatically handle customer inquiries, manage orders, maintain inventory, or support marketing efforts, streamlining operations and improving customer service.

Integration with Google Workspace

Sharing Gems is tightly coupled with existing admin controls for companies that use Google Workspace. Administrators can manage sharing settings to ensure proper distribution across the organization. This integration maintains security and compliance while promoting collaboration and productivity.

Moreover, Gems can now be used directly inside Google Workspace apps such as Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, and Gmail. This integration allows users to interact with their AI assistants without switching platforms, enhancing workflow and efficiency.

Privacy and Security Considerations

While the sharing function enhances the utility of Gems, Google has implemented privacy and data security protections:

• Gems containing personalized or private information may not be shareable
• Users are advised to review their Gems before sharing
• Recipients of shared Gems are subject to the same privacy and terms-of-use policies as the original creator, ensuring consistent protection of user data

Future Outlook

“Personal assistant technology is incredibly powerful, and now developers have the ability to create more personalized, custom AI assistants than ever before. By allowing users to construct and share individualized AI agents, Google is promoting a world of better collaboration and productivity in the digital environment. Features like this will shape the future of how people and businesses interact with technology as AI continues to evolve, making it more democratized and customizable.”

In summary, the launch of shareable Gems within the Gemini platform is a game changer. Whether for personal productivity, business tools, educational support, or other applications, Gems provide a flexible solution to harness the full potential of artificial intelligence.
