What are Gems and how do they work?

Gems are customized versions of Gemini with specific purposes. You can create a Gem that explains difficult concepts in a simple way, or a Gem that focuses on helping improve your programming skills.

It’s worth noting that Gems doesn’t offer new features beyond what Gemini already has. However, their value lies in their focus and specificity. You can also upload documents to provide additional knowledge to Gems, allowing them to perform beyond Gemini’s default training data.

Currently, the Gems feature is only available to Gemini Advanced users, with a subscription fee of 489,000 VND per month.
