Google is killing off Gemini’s Gems in favor of ‘skills’

Google is discontinuing Gemini's 'Gems' feature, which allowed users to build task-specific AI agents, and replacing it with a new 'skills' framework. The move comes as competitors like Meta push all-in-one AI agents such as Muse and Instinct, signaling an industry shift away from modular agent designs toward unified agentic systems.

Background

Google's Gems feature in Gemini allowed users to create specialized, task-specific AI agents, but the broader AI agent ecosystem has been shifting toward unified, general-purpose agents capable of handling multiple tasks without requiring separate configurations.
