What changed: Google added the ability to generate, preview, and edit documents, PDFs, presentations, spreadsheets, code, and more directly inside a Gemini chat, including full-screen editing, highlighting text to ask questions, and asking Gemini to refine files. PDF preview and editing works on web and mobile; other formats (Docs, Sheets, slide decks, Markdown, TXT, code) are supported on web only.
Who is affected
Source does not specify a particular type of business; the announcement is addressed to all users in all languages where the Gemini app is available.
What it means for your business
For businesses using Gemini, this means drafting and editing documents, PDFs, presentations, and spreadsheets directly in the chat window without switching to a separate app.
What to do
Try the document editing feature in the Gemini app; test full-screen editing, highlight-to-ask, and file refinement against your current workflow.
When it takes effect
In effect as of Oct 29, 2026, for all users and languages where the Gemini app is available.
