Users can now create, preview, and edit files directly in the Gemini app chat, including slide decks, spreadsheets, documents, and PDFs.
Google is introducing new ways to create and refine files and code in the Gemini app. Users can generate, preview, and edit files right within Gemini app chat—expanding to full screen to type edits directly, highlighting text to ask questions, or having Gemini refine them. PDF preview and editing is supported on both web and mobile, while all other formats (documents, spreadsheets, slide decks, Markdown files, TXT files, and code) are supported on the web only. Users can generate slide decks and open them in Google Slides or download as PPTX/PDF, build and export Google Sheets, and edit documents and PDFs with inline edits on web or full-screen view, plus upload to Drive.
