Google just gave everyone the power to build their own AI assistant.
No coding. No subscription. 100% free.
Here’s how to set yours up in under 5 minutes 👇
1. Go to Gemini

Gems are custom AI assistants you design—Google even has pre-made ones like Brainstormer, Career Guide, and Coding Partner. gemini.google.com
2. Name + Brain
➡Give your Gem a name.
➡Write its instructions (what it should do, how it should act).
➡Use the Magic Pencil ✏️ to auto-rewrite and improve them.
You’re now creating your own custom AI assistant. 🛠
3. Feed it knowledge
➡In the “Knowledge” section, upload up to 10 PDFs or images your AI can reference.
➡Remove or replace them anytime.
➡This is how you make your AI smarter than ChatGPT.

🚨The biggest flaw with ChatGPT?
It doesn’t sound like you.
But here’s a secret method that turns it into your personal writing clone in just a few minutes.
Here’s how to make it write like your personal doppelgänger: 👇
1. The magic prompt:
"Act like a professional writer. I am going to show you a text that I have written and your objective is to imitate it.
You will start by saying "START". Then I'll show you an example text and you say "NEXT." Next, another example and you will say "NEXT", and so on. I will give you many examples, more than two. You'll never stop saying "NEXT." You can only say something else when I say "DONE", not before.
You will then analyze my writing style, tone and style of the example texts I have given you. Finally, I will ask you to write a new text on a given topic using exactly my writing style."
2. Start Training
After you paste the prompt, ChatGPT will reply: “START.”
That’s your signal to send your first writing sample.
Great way to create a prompt for ANYTHING you need.
Here’s how to use it (with real examples): 👇
1. The Meta-Prompt
Copy this into ChatGPT:
“You are to act as my prompt engineer. I would like to accomplish: [insert your goal].
Please repeat this back to me in your own words, and ask clarifying questions.
Once we confirm, generate the final optimized prompt.”
That’s it. This turns ChatGPT into your personal prompt engineer.
2. Example: Writing a blog post
You:
“I want to write a 1,500-word blog post on why remote work boosts productivity.”
ChatGPT:
“Got it. Do you want the tone formal or casual? Do you need sources or just opinions?”
You refine → ChatGPT builds the perfect blog prompt for you.
After 2 years of using ChatGPT, I can say it’s the most life-changing tech since the Internet.
Here are 10 prompts that transformed my day-to-day (and can do the same for you):
1. Learn anything from a 20-year expert
“Act as a 20-year expert in {topic}. Break down the core principles a beginner must know. Use analogies, step-by-step logic, and explain like I’m five.”
2. Brutally honest thought partner
“Be my thought partner. I’ll share {idea/problem}. Question every assumption, surface blind spots, and help evolve it into a 10x better solution.”
No fluff, no clichés—just clean, concrete sentences.
Here’s the prompt + ban list 👇
Prompt:
“Write in plain English with short sentences.
Be direct and concise.
Use a natural, conversational tone (contractions ok; starting with ‘And/But’ is fine).
Avoid hype, clichés, and marketing speak.
Cut adverbs and filler.
Prefer active voice.
Give concrete examples and steps.”
