What changed: Gemini now supports creating, previewing and editing files within a conversation. Users can make changes directly in a full-screen view or ask Gemini to revise the content. PDF previews and editing work on web and mobile; documents, spreadsheets, presentations, Markdown, TXT and code files are supported on the web only.

Who is affected

The capabilities cover all Google Workspace customers and Workspace Individual subscribers with access to the Gemini app. Personal Google account users are also included.

What it means for your business

For businesses using Gemini, this means presentation content, tracking spreadsheets and documents can be prepared and revised within a chat. Generated spreadsheets can open in Google Sheets, while presentations can open in Google Slides or download as PPTX or PDF files.

What to do

Open Gemini on the web and request a tracking spreadsheet or document in your chosen file format; open the preview and try editing the text directly.

When it takes effect

Available now for Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains.
