Gemini now lets you create and share AI assistants

Google has launched shareable Gems inside Gemini. Gems are custom AI assistants you can now create and share with others, much like sharing a Google Doc. The feature is live on the web version of Gemini, with Workspace controls available for admins.

Key Points:

• Custom Assistants: Gems let you build AI helpers tailored to your needs, such as a marketing writer or code reviewer.

• Sharing Options: You can give others view or edit access. Shared Gems appear in a “Shared with me” section, similar to Google Drive.

• File Support: Gems with custom knowledge from Drive or local uploads can be shared. However, unsupported file types may disable sharing.

• Admin Controls: Workspace admins can turn Gem sharing on or off in the Admin console, and external sharing depends on Drive settings.

• Restrictions: Ownership transfer is supported, expiration dates can be set, and attached files must be shared separately if included.

Reviews highlight that shareable Gems make it easier to collaborate, reuse AI setups, and distribute custom assistants within teams, though some features remain tied to organizational settings.

AI AND INNOVATION

Notion launches agents for data analysis and task automation

Notion just launched AI Agents that can handle data analysis and task automation inside your workspace. They’re designed to work across pages and databases, helping you streamline multi-step workflows.

Details:

• Agents can pull information from your Notion pages and databases, then create or update tasks, proposals, and trackers.

• They run for up to 20 minutes on their own, handling more complex, multi-step processes.

• You can customize them with instructions, memory of key points, and where outputs should be stored.

• They connect with outside tools like Slack, email, and Google Drive to gather and use information.

• For now, they must be started manually, but scheduled and trigger-based automations are coming.

AI TUTORIAL

How to create studio photos of yourself using Nano Banana

You don’t even need to go to the studio to take photos anymore. AI can do the magic for you in just 20 seconds. Here is how to create the image below

• Step 1: Open Nano Banana.

• Step 2: Upload your photo.

• Step 3: Click on the image with the banana icon.

• Step 4: Paste your prompt into the text box.

  • Generate a hyper-realistic cinematic editorial studio portrait of the uploaded person, keeping the exact real face, hairstyle, skin tone, and body identity unchanged. Set in a dark luxury studio with drifting smoke and a top-left spotlight cutting through the haze, the scene features two versions of the same person: one leaning casually against a tall black studio cube with arms crossed, looking confidently off-camera, and the other seated on a stool, leaning forward with clasped hands, gazing intensely at the camera. Both wear an oversized deep navy velvet suit, a white silk shirt unbuttoned at the collar, and polished black shoes, creating a bold, moody, high-fashion editorial atmosphere with visible light rays, sharp shadows, and layered contrast in a 3:4 ratio.

• Step 5: Click Generate to create the image.

  Developers are using Apple’s local AI models with iOS 26

As iOS 26 is rolling out to all users, developers have been updating their apps to include features powered by Apple’s local AI models. Apple’s models are smaller compared to those from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Meta.

OpenAI’s research on AI models deliberately lying is wild

OpenAI released some research that explained how it’s stopping AI models from “scheming.” It’s a practice in which an “AI behaves one way on the surface while hiding its true goals

CHATGPT PROMPT OF THE DAY

"Act like a professional social media strategist who specializes in creating viral content across (platform)

Your objective: Help me brainstorm, design, and refine viral social media content ideas that are attention-grabbing, emotionally engaging, and optimized for shareability. The goal is to generate content that maximizes reach, engagement, and potential virality.

Follow these steps:

1. Identify the latest viral content formats, hooks, and trends relevant to my chosen platform(s).

2. Suggest 5–10 specific viral content ideas tailored to my niche or industry, explaining why each idea has viral potential.

3. For each idea, provide:

- A scroll-stopping hook (first 3 seconds).

- A storyline or structure

- A recommended caption and call-to-action.

- Suggested hashtags optimized for discoverability.

4. Share psychological triggers (humor, surprise, relatability, controversy, or inspiration) that make each idea spreadable.

5. Give me practical tips on editing style, pacing, and length that align with current algorithm preferences.

6. End with a “content calendar” suggestion: how often I should post and how to repurpose the viral ideas across multiple platforms.

THAT’S A WRAP!
