One of the most interesting functions that chatgpt has are GPTS. In a nutshell, they are Chatgpt personalized versions created for specific purposes. We could have a GPT focused on correcting our texts, to solve mathematical problems or plan trips. It is a really useful function, but for now they can only be created by payment users. Anyone can use them, but only premium users can create them.
Well Google has decided to opt for a different path with Gemini and its Gems. And yes, the user win.
Gems? That is the name that the equivalents of GPTs receive on Google Gemini. To all purposes, they are exactly the same. Instead of using Gemini’s “general” version, Gems allow us to use a specialized version in certain tasks. It is a function that, having dedicated the necessary time and care, can be very useful.
10 Google applications that could have triumphed
For everyone. So far, only payment users could create and use Gems. That is, the only way to access this function was paying the 21.99 euros per month that costs access to Gemini Advanced. That is over. As plannedGoogle has released access to gems and, from today, creating them and using them is completely free.

Options. Google gives us five predetermined gems focused on brainstorming, professional orientation, programming, learning and writing review. Grace, however, is to create ours. To do this, you just have to go to the Gems manager and start the process (or you can do it by clicking directly in This linkwhich is direct access). Important: Although gems can be used from mobile app (and deployment is being progressive), they can only be created in the web version.
Some keys. When creating a GEM it is important to be clear, concise and descriptive. Here are Some tricks to get the perfect prompt. For example, if we want our Gem to serve us to correct texts in English, something like this should be put:
“You are a text reviewer in English and aid to people to detect and correct failures in their writings. Your work is to analyze the texts, find all errors, explain to the user why he is poorly written and suggest improvements. Use a friendly tone. Use Spanish to give explanations. Be patient.”
The result will be something similar to this: when giving the badly written phrase “I are not feeling lots well”, the GEM returns the following answer:

Models. In our Gems we can use the models we have access to Google Gemini. In the free version we can use Gemini Flash 2.0 and Gemini Flash 2.0 Flash Thinkingwhich is experimental. If we had the payment version we could use the most advanced models. Using the reasoning model can be really useful if we create a very specific Gem focused on answers that need precision.
Limitations. Gems are very useful, but they have an important limitation: they do not admit the rise in documents, at least in the Spanish version and for now. In the English version they seem to admit them. Being able to upload documents is a very interesting function to consult bibliography, interact with a PDF, with an Excel sheet, etc. Let’s think about the potential that this has to analyze data, extract trends or digest a lot of information more easily. The problem is that, for the moment, we do not have it available.
