Google Brings Direct File Editing to Gemini Chats

Google has added tools to generate, preview and edit files directly in Gemini chats. The new workflow lets users make changes themselves or ask Gemini to refine selected parts of a file. The feature covers documents, PDFs, presentations, spreadsheets, code and more. Users can expand a file to full screen, type edits, highlight text to ask a question or request changes to text and visuals. Google’s example turns uploaded handwritten lecture notes into a PDF study guide that can then be edited in the chat.
