Summary
Google is discontinuing Gems, the Gemini feature that let users build task-specific agents, and replacing it with a new 'skills' mechanism. The change comes as all-in-one AI agents such as Meta's Muse and Instinct gain traction.
Bubble analysis
This is a product-feature change with no capex, valuation or funding figures, so it offers almost no direct evidence on whether AI is in an investment bubble. At most it shows model vendors competing for the agent entry point.
