How to Create your own GenAI Tool to Create Content | How to AI #3

1. 🎯 Step-by-Step Guide: Building Your Custom Gem

Follow these logical steps to build and save your personalized AI tool within the Gemini platform.

Step 1: Access the Gem Creation Tool

1. Navigate to the Gemini platform.
2. Locate and click on 'Explore Gems'.
3. On the 'Explore Gems' page, click on 'Create Gems' to begin the customization process.

Step 2: Define the Gem's Core Purpose

1. Give your Gem a Title: Type a descriptive name for your tool.
   • Example from the transcript: LinkedIn Post Creator

Step 3: Write the Detailed Instructional Prompt

This is the most crucial step. You must provide clear, simple instructions on exactly what you want the AI to do with any input you give it later.

1. In the main instruction box, write a detailed prompt specifying the output format, tone, and goals.
   • Example Prompt (from the transcript):

     LinkedIn post creator based on the content provided. Create LinkedIn friendly post. Reduce it down to the comprehension of an 8-year-old. The focus of this post would be virality and interaction. And it should definitely provide some key insights. Keep it less than 500 words.

Step 4: Save and Access Your New Gem

1. Once your title and detailed prompt are entered, click 'Save'.
2. Your new custom Gem is now created and ready to use! You will be automatically taken to your new Gem's chat interface.

Step 5: Test Your Custom Gem

1. In the chat interface of your new Gem, provide an input topic or piece of content for the AI to process.
   • Example from the transcript: AGI and the path to it.
2. Submit the input.
3. The Gem will use the instructions you provided (the prompt from Step 3) to generate a LinkedIn post.

2. 💡 Advanced Tip: Refining Your Gem's Context

The chat interface for your Gem limits the AI's context to the custom instructions you've provided. This ensures that every request you make with this Gem is focused solely on its specific job (e.g., creating a simple, viral LinkedIn post).

1. Review the System Context: Your Gem's creation process essentially generates a hidden "system prompt" that the AI follows.
2. Make Edits: If you want to refine how the Gem works, you can go back and edit the prompt (the instructions from Step 3) to adjust its behavior, output length, or tone.
3. Click 'Update' to save the changes. This ensures that whatever new input you provide adheres to the most recent context you've set up.
