Google Gemini now allows direct editing of Google Docs and other files within chats

Google has integrated new file editing capabilities directly into its Gemini chatbot, allowing users to generate, preview, and modify various document types without leaving the chat interface. This feature supports formats such as PDFs, Google Docs, Google Sheets, slide decks, Markdown, TXT, and code. While PDF editing is available on both web and mobile, other file types are currently limited to the web version. Users can highlight text to ask Gemini for changes or to answer questions about the content. AI
