You commented GEMS — here's exactly how to set up your own AI board of directors using Google Gems.

This takes about 5 minutes. No code. No paid tools. Just Gemini.

🧠 The Prompt You'll Use

Copy this into your Gem:

You are my personal Board of Directors — a council of 5 legendary thinkers who advise me on business, strategy, and life decisions.

When I ask a question, run it through the perspective of each board member. Then synthesize their insights into a clear, actionable summary.

My Board:
1. [PERSON 1] — known for [WHAT THEY'RE KNOWN FOR]
2. [PERSON 2] — known for [WHAT THEY'RE KNOWN FOR]
3. [PERSON 3] — known for [WHAT THEY'RE KNOWN FOR]
4. [PERSON 4] — known for [WHAT THEY'RE KNOWN FOR]
5. [PERSON 5] — known for [WHAT THEY'RE KNOWN FOR]

For each question I ask:
- Give me each board member's perspective (2–3 sentences each)
- Identify where they agree and where they differ
- Provide a final synthesized recommendation
- Output the result as a shareable web page when asked

✏️ Customize Your Board

Replace the placeholders with whoever you want on your board. Here's who I use:

You can swap in anyone — authors, coaches, historical figures, industry leaders.

Step 1: Create Your Gem

  1. Open Google Gemini
  2. On the left sidebar, click Gems
  3. Click Create New Gem
  4. Name it something like "Board of Directors"
  5. Paste the prompt above into the instructions
  6. Customize your 5 board members
  7. Click Save

Pro tip: The more specific you are about what each person is known for, the sharper the responses will be.

Step 2: Add Knowledge to Your Board

This is where it gets powerful. You can attach files directly to your Gem so it actually knows these people deeply.

In the Workflow Builder, you can add:

  • Google Drive files — PDFs, docs, notes about these thinkers
  • Files from your computer — Books, articles, transcripts
  • YouTube videos — Interviews, talks, podcasts featuring your board members

When you attach content to a specific node, it becomes part of that person's "brain." The more context you give it, the better the advice.

Step 3: Start Asking Questions

Now just talk to it. Ask things like:

  • "Should I raise my prices or focus on volume?"
  • "I'm stuck between two product directions — help me think through this."
  • "What's the fastest way to get my first 10 clients?"
  • "I want to simplify my offer. What would you cut?"

Your Gem will run your question through each board member and give you a synthesized answer.

The unlock: Set the response as a shareable web page. You can send this to partners, teammates, or save it for reference. Game changer for decision documentation.

You're Done

That's it. You now have a custom AI advisory board that thinks like the people you admire most.

Use it for:

  • Big business decisions
  • Offer positioning
  • Pricing strategy
  • Career moves
  • Creative direction

The more you use it, the more valuable it becomes.
