Full transcript (original language)

00:01 Google has just released free skill creation for Gemini, and this will completely change how you use artificial intelligence in your daily life. Now you no longer need to open the chat and repeat the same prompts and instructions every single time you interact. Just create a custom skill once, and Gemini will understand exactly what it needs to do for you. In today’s video, I’ll not only show you how to create your own free skills but also how to transform them—the old Gems—into a professional skill,

00:35 from basic configuration to the final step. And you know what the best part is? Besides being free, you can export them and use them in several other artificial intelligences, like ChatGPT, Claude, and others. Sounds good? So let’s dive in so you can understand everything in practice. We are here inside Gemini. Notice, if you look at this top bar here, we are using a completely free account. We don’t need a pro account to create our skills. The

01:06 first thing you’re going to do is open this tab here. Go down to the bottom here and click on settings. Notice that two options will appear for you: gems and skills. Let’s click here on skills. We are immediately directed to this tab here. Here we can create from scratch with Gemini, create one manually, or we will go through all three ways. Let’s start with this one first. Create manually. Let’s create

01:37 one literally from scratch. Let’s click here on create. Notice that it brings up some parameters here. Give your skill a name. For example, meeting minutes summary. Here we will add the description, and here we will add the instructions. In this first one, we will take a gem. Here we have the gems option. Let’s open the gems section. Notice that gems will be discontinued. They will only work until November 17th . That is why we now need to adapt to skills. They are much easier to deal with. I have a gem here that

02:14 specializes in creating descriptions for my videos, using my standard, creating titles, thumbnail phrases, hashtags, and the entire structure for optimizing my videos, just as I have several others here. I have one for pricing real estate properties, one for financial analysis, I have a gem specialized in creating rental contracts, so I have several gems already ready. And what is it that we will need to do? Transform these gems into our skills, just as we will also create skills from scratch here. Let’s

02:47 go back here, look. I’ll click on this option here, and it opens up for me: what is the name of this gem we are turning into a skill. I’ll go back here , I’ll name the gem. Video Description 01. Here we will describe: when will we use it? It creates descriptions for my videos when I provide the transcript. Let’s add here that it creates descriptions, titles, and phrases for thumbnails. Let’s go back here now, look. In the instructions section, you won’t need to change anything; we’ll just copy the instructions from this

03:19 gem. Let’s go back here to skills. Here I will paste all my instructions. After that, I just need to come here, click create, and look, I already have my skill ready and created. I can go ahead and delete this gem now, because it no longer serves a purpose for me. When we come back here, you’ll notice it brings information that it will be discontinued, and it also provides a command where you can create your skills. But let’s go back here. To use

03:50 it, simply click on these three dots. You can use it right now, edit with Gemini, or edit manually, download, or replace. Let’s click on use right now. It will appear right here. Also, if you don’t want to go directly, just come here, use this forward slash, and your skill will appear ready right here. Just click it. And I’ll just come here now and attach a transcript. I’ll grab the transcript for this video here. I’ve added my transcript. I don’t need

04:23 to do anything else. Just send it. I won’t need to type anything else from here on out. And look, the skill has been activated and it’s already starting to develop it. Look, it gives a score to my video, to the potential of this video. This video has a viral potential of 8 out of 10. It brings me 10 magnetic titles with 50 characters. It brings 10 more titles with 70 characters. Here it brings five more titles from 71 to 97 characters. Select the five best titles based on my description. Give me the phrases for

04:56 the thumbnail that I need to use. So, this is how we create them with the greatest ease. I don’t need to spend time thinking about titles, descriptions, or phrases for thumbnails . I just input my caption and the AI, through the skill, gives me everything ready to go. Down here, it provides me with the best title and thumbnail combinations, and an optimized description. Here I have, look, the complete description for our video. Below that, it brings the call to action, the hashtags I need to include,

05:26 the keywords, the chapters for my video , and a post for the community tab. All of this in a practical and very didactic way. So now we can take a Gem and turn it into a skill, which will give us more versatility to work with. If you want to start a new chat, just come here, click on new, type a forward slash, and pull up your skill. All the skills we create will appear right here . What is the downside? It’s because if we use our skill here, look, or our

05:57 ability, when I click here, notice that some functions disappear. I can perform deep research, connect it to NotebookLM and Google Photos, to Drive, and I can upload an external file, but I cannot add images, use the Canva function, and some other features are not yet enabled for skills. So that is the limitation. Unlike the Gem, where they are already enabled. Look, this was the first step, learning how to turn a Gem into a skill . And you can take these Gems to any

06:30 other AI. In a moment, I’ll show you how you can take them, and also how you can export them. You created it here, but you want to use it in ChatGPT; you can. Look, let’s now create one literally from scratch. Let’s come here , click on settings, skills, and here we have “create with Gemini.” Let’s click here on create. It will ask us a few questions. What is the objective of this skill? What do you want to do with it? When should it be activated? And is

07:00 there any specific response format or mandatory rules? Let’s create it here. I will copy 1, 2, and 3. I will answer here with you so you can see how simple and practical it is to create. For number one, what is the objective of this skill? I’ll put here: create quotes for my company; when should it be activated: when I send the service values. And here, is there a specific response format? I will put yes, it must contain the phone number for the fitness fashion store 99999. Just as an example, email fitness@gmail, the same

07:36 email and output format in PDF. Let’s send it. It starts reasoning here again . Take a look. And very practically, look, let me minimize this here. It starts working here on our skill. Here it generates my skill, the name of my skill, budget, fitness, trigger. Just send the values and the format it will output. Let’s go back here, look. Let’s open a new conversation here.

It starts processing, activates the skill. Here it provides a summary of the budget. And here we now have my budget ready with all the data I requested, look. Issuer details, client details. You could already include the client’s data, the number of sets, and here the information, look, payment method, Pix, the Pix key, beneficiary,

08:42 fitness fashion. Up here, look, you can come here and download your budget to send it to the person.

Let’s move on to a more interesting case now. We are going to import a skill from ChatGPT. here to Gemini.

09:15 Here in ChatGPT, you will come here, look, to plugins, and notice that I have the option for plugins and skills.
