Gemini adds in-app document editing with live previews on web and mobile
Google has updated Gemini to let users edit AI-generated documents directly within the app, offering interactive previews alongside text-based revision requests. The web version supports a wide range of file types, including spreadsheets, presentations, code, and Workspace files, while the mobile app currently only handles PDFs.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The update suggests Google is trying to reduce the friction between generating a first draft and refining it into a finished document, a gap that has limited AI tools' practical usefulness. The uneven rollout between web and mobile could indicate technical constraints in bringing richer file handling to phones, though Google may expand mobile support over time.
- Gemini now supports in-app editing with live document previews
- Web version handles more file types than the mobile app, which is limited to PDFs
