CLIP: Experiencing the personal AI assistant on Google Gemini

Google recently officially opened Gems – one of the standout AI features of the Gemini platform – to all users for free. This is seen as a significant step in the race to personalize AI, allowing users to create virtual assistants in their own unique style.

Previously, Gems were only available to users who paid through the Gemini Advanced or Google One AI Premium plans.

According to our research, Gems are customizable tools that allow you to program roles, tones, and interaction habits, helping to automate repetitive tasks or handle specialized requests such as content writing, task management, and academic counseling.

Notably, unlike the free version of ChatGPT, which doesn't save chat history, the user-created AI assistant with Gems can remember context, habits, and writing styles that have been previously taught.

However, practical experience shows that Gems is still unable to compete with rivals like ChatGPT or Grok when it comes to in-depth analysis or the ability to synthesize up-to-date information.

Mr. Le Minh Hoang, an office worker in District 3 (Ho Chi Minh City), tried out Google Gemini's personalization feature and found that in the same information search situation, this AI's capabilities were limited compared to ChatGPT, Grok, or Deepseek.

“I asked Gemini to compile short video advertising trends for Q1 2025. The result was just a few general summary lines. Meanwhile, ChatGPT listed the report with specific sources; and Grok provided data from major platforms, along with reference links,” Mr. Hoang compared.

Many users commented that the AI on Gemini is easy to use but not truly intelligent, therefore they still prefer ChatGPT and Grok.

Mr. Hoang Viet Hung (residing in Ho Chi Minh City) tried using this private AI as an AI "teaching assistant" to study and do homework. However, despite clearly describing the field he was researching, the actual results were not as expected.

"I asked Gemini to analyze how rising fuel prices affect inflation, but I only received a general answer about the impact on transportation costs. Gemini is only suitable for quick summarization purposes and doesn't meet the requirements of assignments that need in-depth explanation and analysis," Mr. Hung commented.

Although it can't yet be compared to ChatGPT or Grok at the moment, Gems is still considered a valuable partner for users in their work and studies.

Google is developing new versions of AI such as Gemini 2.5 and Veo3 with the expectation of improving contextual understanding and in-depth responses.

To create an AI assistant using Gems, users only need to follow 3 steps: access Gemini, select "New Gem," then enter a role description and click the save button. For example: "You are a content partner who helps me write fun sales captions every day following TikTok and Instagram trends."

After a few interactions, the AI will remember the user's preferred style.
