In this lab, Mahi from Google DeepMind will show you how to create a Gem, or a custom AI expert, for help on any topic. All you have to do is provide instructions and tell it which expert persona to take on. You can create a Gem for a variety of tasks, like getting specialized advice, challenging your thinking on business decisions, and ensuring your ideas are sound from an expert’s point of view.

What you'll gain:

• Better ideas, faster: Get crucial feedback in minutes

• New perspectives: Uncover blind spots by stress-testing ideas through expert lenses

• Shared knowledge: Give your entire team access to a library of expert advisors they can consult and reuse anytime

Apply what you learn:

We’ll use a specific example to demonstrate Gems. However, to get the most out of this lab for yourself, think about ways you can apply these techniques to your own challenges and contexts. As you follow along, customize the supplied prompts to match your own work situation. Swap in your challenges, your industry, and your specific needs. This hands-on practice will help you leave the lab with an expert advisor that's immediately useful to you. Remember that your judgment is crucial in using Gems responsibly, and to build accountability into your process.

Get ready to create the expert of your choice!
