The feature

Google said on Thursday that Gemini can generate, preview and edit files inside a chat, including PDFs, Docs, Sheets, slide decks, Markdown, plain text and code.

A full-screen view lets users type edits themselves, select a passage to ask about it, or have Gemini revise it. PDF editing works on web and mobile, everything else on the web only, for all users in every language Gemini supports.

The office suite now sits inside the chatbot, the reverse of how Microsoft and Google first shipped AI, as a sidebar in the office suite.
