No need to copy out of the chat
Google on Oct. 29 (Oct. 30 Japan time) made it possible to create documents, PDFs, slides, spreadsheets and code files in its AI app "Gemini," and to edit them while viewing them in the chat. Gemini's official account announced it on X.
Until now, users had to copy text written by Gemini into a separate document app to edit it. Now they can expand the finished file to full screen and rewrite it themselves, select part of it and ask questions, or have Gemini revise it. Google gave the example of feeding in handwritten lecture notes to create a PDF study guide, then editing it by hand and having the AI redraw part of a diagram.
Web only except for PDFs
The feature is available to all users in all languages Gemini supports. PDFs work in both the web version and the mobile app, but Google Docs, Google Sheets, slides, Markdown, text and code files work only in the web version.
