Step-by-Step Tutorial to Create a 'Gem' with Google Gemini

 Creating a "Gem" under Google Gemini is a straightforward process that allows you to build a custom AI expert tailored to your specific needs. Here's a detailed, step-by-step tutorial on how to do it.

A "Gem" is essentially a set of instructions that tells Gemini what role to play, what task to perform, and how to format its responses. Think of it as creating your own specialized version of Gemini.

Step 1: Access the Gem Creation Interface

  1. Go to the Gemini web app at gemini.google.com.

  2. On the left-hand side, look for and click on Explore Gems.

  3. Click the New Gem button.

Step 2: Name Your Gem

The first thing you'll be prompted to do is give your new Gem a name. Choose a name that clearly reflects the Gem's purpose. For example, if you're building a Gem to help you write blog posts, you might name it "Blog Post Writer" or "Content Creator."

Step 3: Write the Instructions

This is the most crucial part of creating your Gem. The instructions are what define its behavior, personality, and capabilities. The more detailed and clear your instructions, the better the Gem will perform.

Think about the following four key areas when writing your instructions:

  • Persona: Tell the Gem what role to play. Should it be a friendly tutor, a no-nonsense technical expert, a creative writing partner, or a professional business consultant?

    • Example: "Act as a personal idea generation tool. Your tone should be energetic and enthusiastic."

  • Task: Define the specific actions you want the Gem to perform. What do you want it to do or create?

    • Example: "Your main task is to brainstorm and generate original, out-of-the-box ideas relevant to the user's prompt."

  • Context: Provide any necessary background information or constraints. This helps the Gem understand the full scope of the task.

    • Example: "Ask questions to find new inspiration and perfect the ideas. If the ideas imply a location that is unclear, ask for a specific geographic area."

  • Format: Be very specific about how you want the Gem to present its responses. This includes things like using bullet points, numbered lists, a specific structure, or even a particular vocabulary level.

    • Example: "Offer at least three ideas for each request, numbering each one. Share the ideas in an easy-to-read format with a short introduction."

Tip: You can use Gemini to help you write these instructions! In the instructions box, write a simple sentence or two about your goal, and then click "Use Gemini to re-write instructions." Gemini will expand and refine your instructions for you.

Step 4: Preview and Refine

On the right side of the screen, you'll see a preview window. This allows you to test your Gem before saving it.

  1. Enter a prompt in the preview window to see how your Gem responds.

  2. Based on the response, go back and edit your instructions to fine-tune the Gem's behavior.

  3. The preview window does not automatically save your Gem, so make sure to click the Save button when you're happy with the results.

Step 5: Add Knowledge (Optional)

You can provide your Gem with additional context by uploading files. This is particularly useful if you want the Gem to reference specific documents, reports, or data in its responses.

  1. Under the "Knowledge" section, click Add files.

  2. You can upload files directly from your device or from Google Drive.

  3. Gemini can read and understand the contents of these files (including PDFs, web pages, and more) to inform its responses.

Step 6: Save and Use Your Gem

Once you're satisfied with the instructions and any added files, click Save. Your new Gem will now be available in the "Your Gems" section, and you can access it and use it just like any of the pre-made Gems.

You can also edit, pin, or delete your Gems at any time from the "Explore Gems" menu.

NetScreen on Windows: Skit | Memories from 2006

[A skit written for our internal corporate event in 2006]   NetScreen on Windows: Skit    Story, Dialogue Mohan Krishnamurthy Starring: Rajesh  – An overly aggressive sales guy who believes every phone call is a golden opportunity to close a deal. Ramesh  – Rajesh’s faithful backend support, always on standby. His primary skill: Googling frantically. Mrs. Mumtaz Ali  – A practical housewife looking to buy net screens for her windows to keep out mosquitoes and houseflies. Mr. Ahmed  – Mumtaz’s husband, an average computer user who knows just enough about technology to be confused but not enough to escape Rajesh’s sales pitch. Setting: Pan-Emirates, the town’s go-to hardware shop, has its phone ringing nonstop. Rajesh’s direct number, 8915691, is often mistaken for the shop’s main line, 8915961. Typically, wrong numbers frustrate him—except today, when fate delivers an accidental lead that perfectly matches the product he sells. Time to strike! Act 1 – T...

What are the new things happening on Internet similar to ChatGPT?

  There are a number of new developments in the field of natural language processing and machine learning that are similar to ChatGPT. Some examples include: OpenAI's GPT-3: GPT-3 is a more advanced version of GPT-2, it was released a few months after GPT-2, and it has been demonstrated to have even better performance on a number of natural language processing tasks. Google's BERT: BERT is a neural network-based model for natural language processing that has been trained on a large dataset of text and can be fine-tuned for a variety of natural language processing tasks, including sentiment analysis and question answering. Microsoft's Turing-NLG: It's similar to OpenAI's GPT-3, Turing-NLG is a text generation model that can be fine-tuned to perform a variety of natural language generation tasks, such as question answering and text summarization. Facebook's RoBERTa: RoBERTa is an optimized version of BERT, which was trained on a much larger dataset of text and has...
