Overview
- Google announced a global update that lets users generate, preview and edit documents, spreadsheets and PDFs directly inside Gemini chat without copying text between apps.
- Gemini now supports a wide range of file types inside chat, including Google Docs, Google Sheets, slide files, Markdown, plain text and code.
- PDFs work on both web and mobile at launch while the broader set of editable formats is available on the web first.
- Users can expand files to a full-screen editor to type changes or highlight specific passages to ask Gemini to make targeted AI edits and refinements.
- Google frames the feature as a productivity move to cut app switching for everyday tasks such as turning photographed handwritten notes into clean, reviewable PDFs and streamlining small-business workflows.
