Convert GPTs and Gems into Skills, Train Autonomous AI Employees, and recent Gemini updates

The useful part

Social Media Examiner Skip to primary navigation Skip to main content Skip to primary sidebar Skip to footer Friday is almost here! Whether you read them now or save them for later, you won't want to miss these. How to Convert Custom GPTs and Gemini Gems into Skills Skills have become the new gold standard for custom AI assistants.

How it works

• If the results aren't quite right, iterate on the instructions until the Skill works the way you're used to.
• Most of them aren't worth your time — but knowing which ones are takes testing, research, and extra time you don't have.
• Tested frameworks, practitioner guidance, and curation that turns guesswork into decisions you can stand behind.
• There is a massive gap between chatting with AI and building trained AI employees that actually do the work for you.
• Callan Faulkner, founder of The Uncommon Business and creator of the Automate to Accelerate program, has trained over 20,000 businesses on how to close that gap.

What to take from it

Callan shares exactly what belongs in this foundation and why a messy Google Drive is no longer something you can get away with. Google's latest Omni model gives developers and creators greater control over video, including longer scene extensions, first-to-last-frame interpolation, video references, faster low-resolution drafts, and 4K output. AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini have had GPTs and Gems for some time, but you've always had to navigate to them separately.
