Google is discontinuing Gemini's task-specific 'Gems' feature in favor of a new 'skills' framework, as the industry shifts toward all-in-one AI agents like Meta's Muse and Instinct. The change reflects Google's effort to keep Gemini competitive amid rapid evolution in how AI agents are built and used. The move is part of a broader consolidation trend among major AI labs moving away from narrow custom-agent tools toward more flexible general-purpose agent architectures.
