Google has announced new file creation and editing features in the Gemini app. The company says users can generate, preview and edit documents, PDFs, presentations, spreadsheets, code and other files directly within a chat.
Gemini’s new full-screen editor lets users type changes directly into a file, highlight text to ask questions, and request refinements to files. Google also says users can ask Gemini to make changes to text or visuals and continue asking questions about the file.
PDF preview and editing are available on the web and mobile versions of the Gemini app, according to Google. Support for Google Docs, Google Sheets, slide decks, Markdown files, TXT files and code is available on the web.
In an example provided by Google, a user asks Gemini to create a PDF study guide from uploaded handwritten lecture notes, then manually edits the result and highlights sections for additional changes. Google says the capabilities are available to all users in every language where the Gemini app is available.
