Gemini, Google’s state-of-the-art AI powered assistant, has new features rolling out, starting today, that were previewed at Google I/O. Gems, a new feature that lets you customize Gemini to create your own personal AI experts on any topic you want, are now available for Gemini Advanced, Business and Enterprise users. And its new image generation model, Imagen 3, will be available across Gemini, Gemini Advanced, Business and Enterprise in the coming days.
Over the coming days, Gemini Advanced, Business and Enterprise subscribers can start creating and chatting with Gems, the custom versions of Gemini first previewed at I/O. You can customise Gems to act as an expert on topics or refine them toward your specific goals. Simply write instructions for your Gem, give it a name, and then chat with it whenever you want.
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. Your Gem can also remember a detailed set of instructions to help you save time on tedious, repetitive or difficult tasks.
To help you get started, Gemini is launching a set of premade Gems for different scenarios, including:
-
Learning coach helps you break down complex topics, making them easier to understand.
-
Brainstormer gives you easy inspiration — from fresh ideas for a themed party to the perfect gift for an upcoming birthday.
-

Gems are now rolling out on desktop and mobile devices to Gemini Advanced, Gemini Business and Gemini Enterprise users in more than 150 countries in most languages.
Gemini has upgraded its creative image generation capabilities, and over the coming days, it is bringing its latest image generation model, Imagen 3 to Gemini Apps and expanding its availability for users in all languages.
Imagen 3 sets a new standard for image quality, generating images with just a few words. You can even ask Gemini to create images in various styles — like photorealistic landscapes, textured oil paintings or whimsical claymation scenes.
Imagen 3 brings advanced image generation capabilities that come with built-in safeguards and adhere to Gemini’s product design principles. Across a wide range of benchmarks, Imagen 3 performs favourably compared to other image generation models available. And as with Imagen 2, it uses SynthID, Google’s tool for watermarking AI-generated images.
Gemini’s design principles are clear: From start to finish, you remain in control of the creative process. If the initial image you get doesn’t meet your expectations, simply tell Gemini what you’d like to change and it’ll give you a new image.
Over the coming days, Gemini will also start to roll out the generation of images of people, with an early access version for Gemini Advanced, Business, and Enterprise users, starting in English. It has worked to make technical improvements to the product, as well as improved evaluation sets, red-teaming exercises and clear product principles.
With Imagen 3, Gemini has made significant progress in providing a better user experience when generating images of people and does not support the generation of photorealistic, identifiable 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 it will continue to listen to feedback from early access Gemini Advanced users as it keeps improving. Gemini will gradually roll this out, aiming to bring it to more users and languages soon.
