Gemini Skills are expanding to free accounts as Google prepares to sunset Gems
Google won't rob you of your Gems once they become Skills.
Google is expanding Skills to free account users ahead of the sunset of Gemini Gems. A new Support page confirms Skills will now be accessible to all Gemini users aged 18 or older, without requiring Google AI Pro or Ultra accounts. Users can access their Skills via the Settings Skills page, just as they previously accessed Gems.
Additionally, Google is upgrading Skills with new features like file import from Google Drive or Gemini Notebook, and the ability to share created Skills with others. Yesterday, a banner in Gemini announced the end of Gemini Gems, which were set to migrate to Skills on November 17. The Support page now clarifies that users with free accounts will not be left without access to their Gems.
Google has removed the previous requirement, ensuring free account users can continue to utilize Skills seamlessly.
