Gemini Gems on personal Google accounts become read only on November 17 and move over to skills automatically.
Skills do the same job as Gems with fewer clicks.
You type / and the skill's name inside any chat, and you can stack two or more skills in one prompt, for example your brand voice plus your carousel format.
Skills are free with a personal Google account if you are 18 or over and have Keep activity switched on.
Google says some Gem files will not carry over, so download your knowledge files first. They stay downloadable until December 17. Work and school accounts switch in 2027.
If you built Gems for client work, captions or proposals, save your files this week.
