In an attempt to compete with OpenAI’s dominance in the artificial intelligence market, Google has unveiled its first major update to its flagship AI model, Gemini. The company recently announced the launch of customizable “Gems.”
Gemini will also directly integrate the company’s AI image generator, Image 3. However, it will not yet generate images of people, after an earlier version produced problematic images and forced Google to pull the tool from the network.
Similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT feature, Gems, which Google first announced during Google I/O in May, give users the ability to create a modular set of custom AI assistants built on the Gemini model that can be used for projects ranging from coding to career advice. According to Google, Gems are available to Gemini Advanced, Enterprise, and Corporate users.
“With Gems, you can create a team of experts to help you think through a challenging project, brainstorm ideas for an upcoming event, or write the perfect caption for a social media post,” Google said in a statement. “Your Gem can also remember a detailed set of instructions to help you save time on tedious, repetitive, or difficult tasks.”
For creators who may not have the exact prompt in mind for building their Gems, Gemini also features an AI-powered rewrite feature to fine-tune the prompt that sets them up. Gem results can be shared via a link on social media, and can also be shared to Google Docs and Gmail to add to an email draft.
“As for sharing, Gems you create are for personal use at this time,” a Google representative told Decrypt. “You can share chats you’ve had with Gems by creating a public link, but chats shared with Gems cannot be continued by others you share the link with.”
This is a more limited offering than OpenAI’s GPTs, which can be shared more fully with others who may use the same customization.
The integration of its Image 3 imager also expands Gemini’s built-in capabilities, and the tech giant reiterated its cautious approach to the launch.
“We conduct extensive internal and external network testing and collaborate with independent experts to ensure continuous improvement,” the Google representative said. “We have a Prohibited Use Policy and prohibit responses that violate our policies.”
Google launched Image 3 in early August after originally announcing it in May. It faces fierce competition from tools like OpenAI’s Dall-E, Midjourney and Flux, which is built into Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot.

“Image 3 sets a new standard in image quality, generating images with just a few words,” Google said. “You can even ask Gemini to create images in a variety of styles, such as photorealistic landscapes, textured oil paintings, or claymation scenes.”
While Gemini can create images of animals and objects, the one thing it can’t do yet is create images of people.
“People imaging is coming soon to Gemini Advanced,” the chatbot will reply if prompted.
“With Image 3, we’ve made significant progress in providing a better user experience when generating images of people,” Google said. “We do not support the generation of identifiable photorealistic individuals, depictions of minors, or excessively gory, violent, or sexual scenes.”
“Of course, as with any generative AI tool, not every image Gemini creates will be perfect, but we’ll continue to listen to feedback from early users as we continue to improve,” Google added. “We’ll be rolling this out gradually, with the goal of bringing it to more users and languages soon.”
