Right now, people are able to upload different types of media to Gemini including text and images. However, Google wants Gemini to be an all-encompassing AI platform. As such, the company wants to allow users to upload different types of media. According to a new report, Google May soon allow you to upload PDF files to Gemini.
This isn’t the only bit of Gemini news coming out. We also got word that Google will bring real-time responses to the Gemini app. This is when you can see the chatbot typing out responses rather than posting them in one go. This feature is already available for the web version of Gemini. So, it makes sense that Google will bring this functionality over to the mobile version.
Gemini could let users upload PDF files and others
Right now, companies are working on letting AI models ascertain different forms of media. At first, they could understand text. Afterward, they began to understand images. However, AI companies want to expand this. It’s Google’s dream to have Gemini be able to understand text, images, videos, audio, Etc.
According to a new report, Google may have taken one step closer to that goal. Bear in mind that this feature is still in testing, and it’s only accessible through enabling a few flags. Thanks to work from AssembleDebug and Android Authority, we have a visual of how this feature will look. Looking at the screenshots below, we see that the Gemini app will allow you to upload a file right from the home screen. We see the Upload file button sitting right above the Choose from gallery button. So, this function is discrete from the upload image option.
This might not be exclusive to PDFs
When fully realized, this feature will be able to read the document and give you a summary of what’s in it. Currently, we don’t know exactly what formats will be compatible with this. Many of the reports state that PDF files will be included. We’re not sure what else. However, we shouldn’t be surprised if Gemini could read DOCX Files along with other word files.
At this point, we don’t know when Google is going to launch this feature. However, we have an idea of when we may hear more about it. Google I/O will be coming up in a few weeks. The company has made Google I/O largely about AI recently. So, there’s a chance that Google could announce this during that event.
