Worried about losing Gemini Gems? Google might spare you from starting Spark Skills from scratch
Google could automatically convert your Gems into Spark Skills.
Google has temporarily delayed the shutdown of Gemini Gems, which are used for creating and editing skills within the Google Assistant, according to the latest app code. Initially set for October 20, 2026, the full removal of Gemini Gems has now been pushed to November 17, 2026. Starting from October 13, 2026, creation and editing privileges for existing Gems will be disabled.
Despite this delay, Google is preparing to replace Gemini Gems with Gemini Spark-based Skills. An earlier deprecation message suggested a cut-off date of October 20, but it appears Google intends to provide users with a more gradual transition through a multi-stage timeline and migration plan.
