Google has announced enhanced features on its Gemini platform with new incustomisable AI experts called “Gems”.
The feature also included an improved image generation capabilities powered by the latest Imagen 3 model.
This was disclosed in a statement by the Senior Director of Product Management for Gemini Experiences, Dave Citro.
He explained that the new “Gems” features would allow Gemini Advanced, Business, and Enterprise subscribers to create personalised AI assistants tailored to specific needs and goals.
According to Citron, users can customise their Gems by writing instructions, giving them a unique name, and interacting with them to get assistance on various tasks, ranging from coding support to career guidance.
He explained that those custom AI experts could help users brainstorm ideas, break down complex topics, and even handle repetitive tasks efficiently.
To make the features more accessible, Google will offer pre-made Gems designed for specific purposes, such as learning coaches, writing editors, and career guides.
Citron added that those AI assistants were designed to operate on desktop and mobile devices for users in over 150 countries.
In addition to the introduction of Gems, Citron highlighted the launch of Imagen 3, the latest version of Gemini’s image generation model, which is available to all users.
He stated that Imagen 3 offered significant improvements in image quality and could generate visuals in various styles, including photorealistic landscapes, oil paintings, and claymation.
“We have upgraded our creative image generation capabilities, and over the coming days, we’re bringing our latest image generation model, Imagen 3, to Gemini Apps and expanding its availability for users in all languages,” he stated.
According the Citron, the new features will be rolled out to users worldwide in the coming days, with further expansions and improvements planned for the future.
