Google Now Lets Users Share Custom Gemini AI Assistants
  • Google now lets users share their custom Gemini AI assistants, called Gems.
  • Sharing works like Google Drive, with view, use, and edit permissions.
  • The feature is now available to all users in over 150 countries, beyond paid tiers.

Google has launched a new update for its Gemini AI platform, allowing users to share their personalised AI assistants known as Gems, with others. These assistants, previously private, can now be distributed much like files on Google Drive, with flexible sharing permissions.

Gems were introduced as part of Gemini Advanced last year, giving users the ability to create AI tools tailored to specific needs such as content writing, career advice, study help, or meal planning using custom instructions and uploaded files. The goal was to help people streamline everyday tasks through AI powered support.

With this latest update, users can now share their custom Gems with friends, family, or colleagues. Creators can manage access, choosing whether recipients can view, use, or edit the shared assistant. This makes it easier for teams or families to collaborate using a single, purpose built AI assistant whether for managing projects, planning trips, or supporting studies.

Google says this move will help reduce duplication of efforts, particularly in work settings where multiple people may need similar tools. For example, one team member can build a task manager Gem and share it with others instead of everyone building their own.

The update also makes Gems accessible to more users. Originally limited to paid subscribers, they are now available to all users in more than 150 countries, enabling broader access to custom AI capabilities.

By opening up sharing options, Google is strengthening Gemini’s role as a practical, everyday tool, helping users get more value from their personalised AI assistants while promoting collaborative use.
