Google’s Gemini AI gets Smarter: Now Answers Questions About Your PDFs
Google is enhancing its gemini AI with a powerful new feature: the ability too directly answer questions about PDF documents. This exciting progress, rolling out now to Files by Google app users, leverages the power of Gemini to provide fast and accurate information from your PDFs.
According to reports, accessing this feature requires a Gemini Advanced subscription. Tech expert Mishaal Rahman, reporting on Friday,confirmed the rollout has begun. ”In the latest version of the Files by Google app, summoning Gemini while looking at a PDF gives you the option to ask about the file,” Android Police writes.
The process is remarkably intuitive. Once you summon Gemini while viewing a PDF in the Files app, an “Ask about this PDF” button appears. Simply tap the button, and you can pose questions about the document’s content, similar to using ChatGPT with a PDF. This functionality, initially announced at google’s I/O developer conference in May, as reported by The Verge, is a significant leap forward in AI-powered document interaction.
This isn’t limited to PDFs. Gemini’s context-aware capabilities extend to web pages and YouTube videos. For apps or file types lacking this direct integration, Gemini cleverly uses a screenshot of your screen to answer your questions when you tap “Ask about this screen.”
This new feature represents a significant step forward in how we interact with digital documents. The seamless integration of Gemini’s AI capabilities into the Files by Google app promises to revolutionize productivity and information access for millions of users. Expect to see further advancements in this area as Google continues to refine its AI technologies.
