You add your Wearly Labs AI profile to Gemini by attaching the .md file to a chat and putting one instruction above your question. It takes about a minute and works on the free plan. Gemini is one of the two quickest to set up, with Grok, and the reason is that there is nothing to set up.
On this page
Your analysis is a page, and on it is your AI profile: a Markdown file holding your color season, the verdict on all fifty colors, your body shape and line, the cuts that work and the ones that do not. Markdown is plain text, and Google's developer documentation says Gemini extracts Markdown files as pure text.
Before you start
Open your analysis page and go to Connect to AI. Press Download .md. The file lands in your downloads named after your season, for example wearly-deep-autumn.md.
That is the whole preparation. There is no project to create and no folder to file it in.
The sample analysis is the real result of co-founder Filip Poláček, a Deep Autumn. Its file is 29 KB of plain text, and it opens with rules for the assistant that reads it: never suggest a color from Not your colors, always say where a color goes, and ask for a size instead of guessing one.
Step 1: attach the file
Open Gemini and press the + (Add files) beside the prompt box. Choose Upload files on a computer or Files on a phone, then pick the file from wherever your device put it. It appears as a chip above the prompt with the file name on it.
If the chip is there, the file is attached. The test further down tells you whether Gemini is using it.
Step 2: ask, with the instruction in the same message
Type your question, and the first time, put the job in front of it:
Act as my shopping and styling assistant. My personal style profile is attached. Check anything I ask about against my color palette, my body shape and line, and my recommended cuts before answering. Give me the verdict first and the reason second, in one or two sentences. If something does not work, name a specific alternative that does. Never recommend anything under Not your colors or Cuts to avoid.
Not your colors and Cuts to avoid are headings in your file, the Skip side of the verdicts. The file already carries its own rules for the assistant, so your message only adds the shape of the answer you want.
Then your actual question under it. From the second message on you can drop the instruction; the conversation remembers, until it outgrows Gemini's window (see Troubleshooting).
Why no Gem?
Gems are Gemini's saved assistants, and they look like the obvious home for this. They can hold files: the Gem editor has a Knowledge field, and Google's help page says you can add files to give a Gem more context. So a Gem would work today. We do not send you there for a simpler reason: Gems are on their way out.
As of October 2026, Google's help page says that starting in November 2026, Gems on personal Google accounts transition to skills, and that supported knowledge files move across with them. Google's September 30 update adds that on November 17 Gems move into the Settings panel of the Gemini app and are migrated to draft skills over the months after. A walkthrough that depends on where a button lives this month is a walkthrough that stops being true. Attaching a file to a chat does not depend on any of that.
If you use Gemini every day and want it permanent, a Gem with the profile in its Knowledge field is a fine thing to build, and Google converts it for you. Its successor, a skill, is a set of reusable instructions and additional context, and it needs you to be over 18, signed in with a personal Google account and have Keep Activity on. You already know how to build either, and this article is for everyone else.
| Way | Lasts for | What you do | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attach to a chat | That chat | Steps 1 and 2 above | A new chat starts empty, so you attach the file again |
| Gem with the file in Knowledge | Every chat with that Gem | Create a Gem, add the file under Knowledge | Google moves Gems on personal accounts to skills from November 2026 |
| Paste with Copy | That message | Press Copy on Connect to AI and paste the profile above your question | The fallback when the file will not attach |
Test it before you trust it
Ask something you can already check:
What are my three best colors, and what do I wear instead of black?
You want names out of your own palette and your profile's own answer for black. A general paragraph about black going with everything means the file did not attach. Check the chip above the prompt box.
A right answer has three parts: a verdict, a placement and a reason. Wear means anywhere, including next to the face. Depends means below the waist or as an accent only. Skip means not yours. Here are those parts in the sample analysis, a Deep Autumn. Your answers will differ, but they should have the same parts:
| You ask | A right answer for the sample | The reason in his file |
|---|---|---|
| What do I wear instead of black? | Espresso, a Wear. Black stays below the waist, a Depends. | "Espresso is your black." Black: "its coolness sits wrong close to your skin." |
| Is navy right for me? | It depends which navy. Midnight blue is a Wear, soft navy a Depends (accent only), royal blue a Skip. | Midnight blue: "its weight and quiet tone match the depth you carry." Royal blue: "It cools your skin down." |
| What about a mint shirt? | Skip. | "It has too little depth to register against your coloring." |
| What about a boxy oversized t-shirt? | Skip. | "Dropped shoulders and a boxy body bury your own outline under loose fabric." |
What to ask once it works
- The link check. Paste a product page. "Verdict, and why." The answer should be Wear, Depends or Skip, with the reason from your file.
- The rack. A photo from inside a shop. "Anything here in my palette?" Shop lighting shifts color in a photo, so for a close call hold the piece against your skin in daylight. The sample analysis puts the test this way for a Deep Autumn: it is yours if it still looks rich and warm rather than washed out.
- The pack. "Five days in Rome in September, from my palette, carry-on only."
- The swap. "I am about to buy this navy coat. Is navy right for me, or is there a better answer in my palette?" The right answer names which navy, as in the table above.
Keeping it in reach
The one cost of attaching the file to a chat is that you attach it each time, because a chat remembers the file and a new chat does not. Two things make that painless.
Put the file somewhere your phone can reach in two taps. Google Drive is the obvious place if you are already in Gemini: Add from Drive sits in the same menu. Google's help page says it needs Keep Activity on and Google Workspace connected to Gemini Apps, and Gemini offers to connect it the first time.
And edit it when your life changes. It is plain text: add your sizes, add a brand you buy often, add the thing you will never wear whatever the analysis says. Your edits become part of every answer from the next attachment on.
Troubleshooting
The answers are generic. Check the chip above the prompt. No chip, no file, and Gemini is answering from nothing but your question.
It forgot halfway through a long conversation. Say "check my profile again". If that does not work, start a fresh chat and attach the file again. Long conversations drift in every assistant, and a chat has a window of a fixed size: Google's limits page sets it at 32k tokens without a Google AI plan. The sample's 29 KB profile fits with room left, so what runs out is the conversation, not the file.
Gemini says it cannot open the file. Rename it to end in .txt and attach it again; the text inside does not change. Failing that, use Copy on the Connect to AI screen and paste the profile straight into the message.
I want it to remember me without the file. Gemini's Personal context (Settings & help, then Personal context) saves details you ask it to remember and, if you turn it on, can refer to your past chats. It is the right place for a line like "I never wear wool". It is not reliable enough yet to bet a wardrobe on, and the file is the version that works every time.
The AI profile: common questions
No. Attaching a file to a chat works on the free plan once you are signed in to Gemini. A paid plan raises the limits: Google's limits page lists a context window of 32k tokens without a plan, 128k on Google AI Plus and 1 million on AI Pro and Ultra, plus higher usage limits. The profile is doing most of the work either way.
Yes, it is plain text. Google's developer documentation says Gemini extracts Markdown files as pure text. Google's help page for the app says Gemini Apps support most file types and does not name .md, so if the chip never appears, rename the file to .txt or paste it with Copy.
Yes, and the phone is where you will actually use it. Press the + button, then pick Files or Drive; Drive needs Keep Activity on and Google Workspace connected to Gemini Apps.
As part of that chat, yes. As of October 2026, Google's Gemini Apps Privacy Hub says that with Keep Activity on, what you share with Gemini, files included, is saved in your Activity and auto-deleted after 18 months unless you change it, and that activity is used to improve Google's services, including training generative AI models. With Keep Activity off, future chats are not used for training and are still saved for 72 hours. Your settings decide, so set Keep Activity before you attach the file if that matters to you.
Whichever you already use. The profile does the work. Claude has the tidiest permanent setup (the Claude guide), ChatGPT sits in the middle (the ChatGPT guide), and Gemini is the fastest to try once, with Grok just as quick (the Grok guide).
Your season and the verdict on fifty colors, each with its reason, your body shape and line, the cuts to wear, to wear with a condition and to avoid, materials and patterns, five combinations that always work, and your own answers, including body details such as the height and weight you entered. Every color has its name, followed by its color code. No photos, and nothing you did not give us. How the AI profile works.
