Gemini skills handle repeated tasks and will gradually replace Gems

Let skills in Gemini tackle your most repetitive tasks

Google began rolling out skills in Gemini chat worldwide today. Skills save and reuse common instructions, and will reach Google Workspace customers in the coming weeks. Users invoke a skill by typing "/" and its name, can create skills from a chat, run them automatically on matching prompts, combine several skills, and attach text, PDF or image reference files.

Why it matters: Google brings reusable skills into Gemini chat with automatic triggering and combining, cutting the need to retype instructions for repeated tasks.
