Confused by AI Skills, Projects, Gems, Custom GPTs, and Agents?
You're not alone. It's important to separate which is best for which use-case, because each has a place depending on what you're trying to get done.
In this beginner-friendly live episode, we break down what these AI terms actually mean, who creates them, and when everyday users should use each one.
Think of this as your plain-English map to the new AI assistant world:
✅ Projects = places to organize ongoing work ✅ Gems & Custom GPTs = reusable custom assistants ✅ Skills = reusable instructions and workflows ✅ Agents = AI systems that can take actions on your behalf
By the end of this live session, you'll understand the practical difference between creating a custom assistant, organizing work in a project, giving AI a repeatable skill, and letting an agent complete tasks for you.
What You'll Learn: 🔹 What an AI Skill is 🔹 What an AI Project is 🔹 What Google Gemini Gems are 🔹 What Custom GPTs are 🔹 What AI Agents are 🔹 Which one beginners should start with 🔹 The simple framework for choosing the right tool for your workflow

More from The Neuron: AI Explained
Neurosurgeon-scientists Alex Ksendzovsky and Jon Pomeraniec explain how The Biological Computing Company uses living neurons as a research platform for AI. Their team grows roughly 150,000 cells on a 4,096-electrode array, sends in patterns such as handwritten digits, records how the neurons respond, and models useful computational behaviors in software. They say those neuron-inspired techniques are already helping GPU-based video-generation systems run about 5x faster with roughly 80% lower inference cost, while their longer-term work explores robots, world models, and real-time biological compute.
OpenAI just dropped 20+ announcements at DevDay 2026, so... yeah, we have some things to talk about. 😺
