Google just announced that Gems in Gemini are now available to everyone!
Gems are like custom experts that help you save time. They're particularly good at helping with repetitive or tedious tasks.
Here's a video to show you how to use them: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yO01...
Aside from avoiding using confidential info for that reason, it's pretty clear in FAQ that data isn't used to train Gemini's models: "We do not use personal data from your Gmail or other private apps and services to train Gemini's generative machine-learning technologies." gemini.google.com/u/2/faq
On personal accounts it looks like prompts and responses can be reviewed by humans (decoupled from account info), but if Web & App Activity is turned off then that doesn't happen. support.google.com/gemini/answe...
That's it - those keys are also the < and > keys, which helps me remember the direction I'm scrolling through the accounts
On Chromebooks I always add the user accounts to the device itself and then log them all in and switch between accounts using ctrl+alt+>
WAY better than trying to manage multiple accounts in the browser, and you can move windows between profiles too.
Great tip - thanks for sharing @alicekeeler.com! It was so annoying when QR code creation got buried.
Screenshot of where to find it (or use the link in Alice's replies):
Thanks for attending, Paula. Hope you enjoyed it!
Thanks Gio! One Streamdeck to control OBS and the other for lighting, etc in the room.
Everything runs off a Mac Studio, and I have a Chromebook connected via an Atem Mini to do live demos.
Dean is sat at his desk with the slides ready for the workshop.
Looking forward to leading the final Professional Trainer Workshop for #GoogleChampions later today! It's focused on delivery, including public speaking skills and technical setup for both online and in-person training. See you there! #EduSky
Finally made it over to Bluesky! Who should I be following for #edtech, #tech, #presenting, #themeparks or #videogames?
Let me know!👇
