You can find this feature by selecting Settings in your Gemini app or on the web. Click "Saved info" and you'll find an empty page and an Add button. Click this and you'll be given an empty box, where you can write a sort of pre-prompt instruction. Each block seems to have a limit of around 1,500 characters, though there doesn't seem to be a limit on how many of these blocks you can store.
I first noticed this when I was trying out Gemini’s Canvas for drafting documents. Typing (or saying) “Convert all the subheadings in this document to H2s” is often more cumbersome than just doing it myself. But with Saved Info, I can write a variation of that instruction that tells Gemini to carry out that action if I simply type “H2s”.
Using "Saved Info" to tweak document templates
This trick also works for more complex instructions. For example, let's imagine you need to write a lot of cover letters and want to tailor them to each job you're applying to. You could add this block to Saved Info:
With these instructions, you could invoke Gemini to create a draft of a cover letter for you with just a few words. You could even expand this further by providing an entire cover letter template (as long as it's under the character limit) and instruct Gemini to only make simple changes based on the criteria you provide.
Another handy example, if you have smart home gadgets connected through Google Home, is that you can turn simple commands into more complex ones. For example, when I sit down to watch a movie, I usually want to turn off the overhead lights, but turn on the LED backlight strip behind my TV. It's not a huge pain to say "Turn off overhead living room lights and turn on TV backlight" but it's a bit of a mouthful.
If a prompt consists solely of 'movie time,' then turn off overhead lights in the living room, and turn on TV backlight.
Automate commands in plain English, no code required
We're pretty big fans of automating tasks, especially with services like IFTTT, but the downside is that sometimes they can get a bit tech-y or complicated. What's so appealing about this particular trick with Gemini is that you can write instructions in plain, human-readable language.
If a prompt consists of 'grammar check,' then read the document at the included link. Check it for grammatical errors. Then, in the Gemini Canvas, create a draft of an email with a brief summary of any issues found. Keep the summary brief.
Be careful with how much you leave in Gemini's hands
It should go without saying, but I'll say it anyway: Gemini successfully parsing instructions is not the same as successfully carrying out instructions. In the grammar check example above, I was impressed that Gemini understood how to reference longer instructions from shorthand, but that doesn't necessarily mean it would successfully catch every grammatical issue.
The Saved Info trick is incredibly handy for automating repetitive prompts, but if there's a task you wouldn't trust Gemini with before, this won't make it more trustworthy now. Maybe you don't trust Gemini to catch grammatical errors to your standards, but think it's fine for summarizing the contents of a link. With a couple simple tweaks, you can adjust the above command to that task, no coding required.
