Google could kill this useful and free Gemini feature in favor of a paid one

If you’ve been using Gemini for a while, chances are you have come across Gems: customized versions of Gemini tuned for specific use cases. Gemini Gems can be very useful, especially for things like learning how to code, getting a new language under your belt, and more. However, it seems Google may be planning to sunset Gems later this year.

Testing Catalog unearthed a notice in the Gemini web app that’s currently hidden behind a feature flag. According to the notice, Google is planning to retire Gems on October 20. It also recommends that users save their Gem content or recreate it as Skills.
