Gemini Gems

Welcome back. In this video, we'll talk about automating our tasks with AI assistants. We'll do this with Gems. A Gem is a custom version of Gemini with a predefined context for a given task or project. So, every time you're back with a similar task, you don't have to repeat yourself with context and explanation. So, let's check it. To access Gems, we go to Gemini, and we can go here or here. Google has already pre-built Gems for you. For example, a "brainstormer" for creative thinking or a "writing editor" to help you polish your drafts. These are ready right now. You can click one and start working. But the biggest leverage comes from building your own Gems. So, how to create one? We go here. And the recipe is simple. We need a repeatable task, your specific context, and a standard prompt with a specified instruction. So, let's build the Gem that every professional needs. The one that will help us with managing meeting notes. We'll name it the "meeting summary master". And we want this Gem to take messy transcripts or meeting notes and always output structured notes in the following format with key decisions, action items, and a summary of the team's energy. So, we need to specify the instructions here. Here is what I wanted to do: "Transform my notes and transcripts from meetings into a structured output that will include summary key decisions, action items, and analysis of the meeting's energy." It's like briefing your new teammate. The more context, the more unique knowledge it has, the better briefed it is, and the better it understands your context and can be more helpful. Pro tip: You don't have to write perfect instructions yourself. You can use Gemini to do it. You can leverage this magic button under here and Gemini will immediately rewrite your instructions to the form that it will be best for it to understand. Now, let's give it a brain. You can add up to 10 attachments in the knowledge section. Here you can upload, for example, the tone of voice of your company, project documentation, or that specific reporting template that your boss loves. Gemini will always refer to the knowledge that you've built for it. Here, I added a document with synthetic data about an exemplary company's tone of voice. I uploaded it, and now we can test it here. Let's test it with some synthetic meeting notes that I generated for this video. I'll paste them and run the Gem. As you can see, it organized it on its own without any additional prompt or context. Now, I can copy and paste meeting notes and receive a structured meeting summary. If we like it, now we can save our Gem. And such a Gem is actually saving me 10 to 15 minutes after every important team meeting. And once you create a Gem, you can actually share it with your team by clicking here. Suddenly, everyone's notes have a chance for perfection. Now, let's look at other examples. What else can you actually do with those Gems? In sales, you could build an objection handler Gem. You could upload your product specs, competitor description cards, and a report on social influencing and persuasion. And, for example, when a lead pushes back, paste their email and get a technically accurate counterargument in your company's voice instantly. In marketing, you could build a Gem that would help you with remixing your content. You could fit it with your brand guidelines and with some industry reports, maybe your previous LinkedIn or Twitter posts, and whenever you actually have a new piece of data to remix into a LinkedIn post or Twitter, you could leverage this Gem. You could build a job description screener. You could give it your hiring guidelines, maybe best performing offers, and next time you can just paste a new draft of a job description, and it will get instant flagged, biased language, or missing requirements. For advanced users, don't try to build one super Gem that does everything because Gemini can get confused here. Instead of that, you can build a chain of Gems. For example, if you run an event, you can have a separate Gem for brainstorming concepts. You can have a separate Gem for researching speakers, a separate one for drafting an agenda, a separate one for crafting promotional content, and a separate one for analyzing feedback. You can actually pass the work down through the chain of Gems to get it done faster and easier. You just need an investment to set it up. So, your mission for today: audit your work, find that one repetitive task that eats up a lot of your time, and build your first Gem today. See you in the next video.3. Let's practice!
