The end of the line is coming for Gemini Gems, as they’re set to be replaced by Skills. Google recently began warning users of this change through a banner in the Gems manager of the Gemini app. The company has now provided a timeline for the rollout of Skills and the phase-out of Gems.
Gems are being replaced across all Google surfaces, including Workspace and the Gemini app. In a new blog post, the company has shared the key dates you should keep track of. It also provided a few details on what will happen on these dates.
The tech giant adds that Skills don’t sync between the Gemini app and Workspace. So, if you want to use a Skill on both platforms, you’ll have to create it separately. Additionally, you can still create and use Gems in the Gemini app, and existing “Ask a Gem” steps still work in Workspace Studio, for now. However, you can no longer create new Ask a Gem steps.
It’s also mentioned that Skills will be available in the Gemini app to all Workspace customers and personal Google accounts. That clears up any lingering confusion on whether Skills will be available to users with free accounts.
