Tech Topic: Stop Repeating Prompts: How Gemini Gems Work

In this episode of Tech Topics with Bob, I explain Google Gemini Gems in plain English — what they are, how they work, and why they can save you a lot of time if you use AI regularly.

Gems let you create customized AI assistants that behave the way you want, without repeating the same prompts. I'll show you the difference between standard Gems and custom Gems, walk through Google's built-in examples, and demonstrate how to create your own step by step.

If you use AI for writing, learning, planning, or explaining technology, Gems can turn Gemini into a reliable daily tool instead of something you have to constantly “re-teach.”

I also explain how Gems compares to ChatGPT's GPTs.
