Key Info
Gemini is launching Skills globally — saved sets of instructions for recurring tasks — with Gems automatically migrating to Skills and being retired on a staggered schedule starting November for personal accounts.
Highlights
- Skills are saved instruction sets that act as shortcuts for tasks performed repeatedly, replacing manual repetitive prompting.

- Gems will be replaced by Skills starting November for personal accounts, March 2027 for Workspace business/enterprise/nonprofit, and June 2027 for Workspace education.
- Google will automatically migrate existing Gems into Skills when Gems are retired to ensure a seamless transition.
- A help center guide is available for users looking to manually transition their Gems into Skills.
