    Let skills in Gemini tackle your most repetitive tasks

    What: Today we’re rolling out skills directly into the Gemini chat globally 1. Skills are a reusable set of instructions that tell Gemini how to handle specific tasks. Think of them as saved shortcuts to faster prompting. Gemini can now help you build custom skills from your chats and automatically run them whenever you enter a matching prompt. For bigger tasks, you can stack multiple skills together at the same time — like combining a writing style skill with a brand guidelines skill to create on-brand assets in your voice. Skills will soon replace Gems as the tool for tailoring instructions for specific tasks. To make this transition seamless, we will automatically migrate your Gems into skills when Gems go away. You can learn more about how to transition your Gems into skills by visiting our help center. Why: We want to help you spend less time prompting and more time doing. With skills, you can save your most-used instructions once and run them endlessly – so you can skip the repetitive prompting and jump straight to the results.

    Proportional context compaction budgets, full-window sizing, custom model media support, and leak fixes

    Improves context compaction by spreading user-request budgets proportionally across all prompts and sizing truncation ceilings from the model's full context window, enables default PDF and audio support for custom models, routes Ctrl+G editor launches to a real terminal stdout, caps voice dictation recordings to avoid deadline failures, and resolves resource and memory leaks across conversations and background pollers.

  17. Antigravity

    Windows Subsystem for Linux, Office attachments, and live subagent cards

    Connect to a Windows Subsystem for Linux distribution from Application Settings, and drop Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files straight into a prompt. Subagents now appear as live cards you can follow and stop while they work. This release also adds right-click copy and save for images.

  18. Antigravity

    Plan before you build

    Type /plan and the agent drafts a plan you can read and edit before it writes any code. The Agent setting that governs this is now called Plan Review Policy, and you can set it to review every plan, review only when the agent judges it worthwhile, or skip review entirely.

    Gemini 2.5 models access update: To ensure reliable performance for everyone, we are limiting access to the 2.5 models to users who have actively used them in the past. These models are not deprecated and will continue to be served until further notice through the API. For any new projects, use our latest models: 3.5 Flash-Lite or 3.8 Flash. This helps us maintain sufficient capacity for both ongoing legacy workflows and new applications.
