You can generate and edit Google Docs files directly in Gemini chats now

Google has introduced the ability to generate, preview, and edit various types of files directly within Google Gemini chats, eliminating the need to leave the app. This new feature allows users to create, view, and modify PDFs, Google Docs, Google Sheets, slide decks, Markdown files, TXT files, and code files all within the Gemini interface.

While PDF previews and editing are accessible on both the web and mobile platforms, all other file formats are currently only available in the web version. Earlier this year, Google started offering support for generating and downloading files in Gemini, but now users can also tweak those files without ever leaving the Gemini app.

With Gemini, you can now expand documents to edit them in full-screen mode and highlight text within files to ask Gemini questions or request changes. For instance, you could highlight a table and ask Gemini to convert it into a graph. Google's Workspace apps, such as Google Docs, have long featured Gemini integrations that enable file editing.

Anthropic, too, launched a feature earlier this year allowing users to generate and edit documents and presentations in Claude chats. To access the conversation, simply sign in to your account.
